> Be me.
> Load up SBTF which I will always call "Terror Fight" because this game is about fighting the terror.
> Game may be 720, or maybe just auto-mimics my desktop resolution. Can't change it in-game if so. Odd, but still doable.
> Game randomly generates me a female character. This will helpfully match my screams later. And by 'later' I mean 'soon'.
> Launch game.
> Start in a closet.
> Empty space suit nearby. Nothing in closet seems activatable.
> Breaker box X feet away or yards or meters or something.
> Door is not activateable.
> What.
> Push on door.
> It creaks open slightly.
> Did I mention this room is totally dark except for my flashlight?
> Flashlight is steadily waning.
> Did I mention the motion tracker started pinging when the door creaked slightly open?
> Back up from door.
> Shotgun already ready already.
> The game randomly focuses and defocuses DURING THE GAME. ...the utter wat.
> Thing does not wish to approach my shotgun guarded door.
> Light is waning.
> Battery is dead.
> Light remains active, but only a small red glow.
> Okay.
> Try shooting door.
> Did not open.
> Reload is not apparently needed in this game. I can live with that.
> Something is coming. Heard my shot.
> Still does not wish to approach the blood-dim glow of the crack of the door.
> This game is as bad as Alien: Isolation and I'm actually armed with limitless ammo.
> Well played, game. Well played.
> Fine. Thing doesn't want to come in. I'll push on door again.
> CREEEAEAAAAAAKKKKK!
> beep beep beep BEEP
> Backing up from door. Should be wide enough now. One way or another.
> BEEP BEEP BEEPBEEPBEEPBEEEP
> "Pulse" throbs view as beeps get faster.
> Hellish nightmare escalates.
> BLAM at the door BLAMMITY BLAMBLAMBLAM
> Thing rushes through door.
> On the ceiling.
> I never quite see it.
> It sees me.
> Fingernails on chalkboard as it shrieks and stabs.
> Possibly another little shriek in there somewhere, can't recall clearly.
> First character: dead.
> I didn't even leave the first room.

10/10 would induce nightmares again.

...
> Be me.
> Induce nightmare again.
> Get far enough to turn on the lights this time.
> Doesn't help.
> This game needs a buddy system.
> When John Carpenter Things scurry toward you on the walls and/or ceiling, step behind your buddy.
> If you can read the back of my shirt, thanks pal, try to keep up.
