Betrayer

Gusington · September 29, 2014, 08:27:57 PM

In my search for a fitting autumn game (read: scary) I have re-discovered Betrayer, a first person game that puts the player in the shoes of a 17th century investigator in a North American colony looking for the reasons why the inhabitants have disappeared. Looks really atmospheric and creepy. Anyone playing it?

Love the setting and plot. Very unique.

How many hours in did you get? Did you like the 17th century weapons?

Couple of quite creepy trailers on Steam. Very interesting looking game.

Sorry. Never got it. I just meant in general that I like the idea of the plot and setting. It's been on sale before so I don't think I would jump now at full price.

I know! :) Music sounds excellent. I like the use of black and white in the graphics too.

It's already been on sale? Damn.

I am trying to decide between Grim Dawn, tomorrow's Mordor release and Betrayer...

It got some pretty lackluster reviews when it came out.

I'm looking at The Vanishing of Ethan Carter.

^ This. Also, like JH said, it's been on sale pretty cheap previously. I recommend not buying full price.

Besides, you have enough games. Play Metro, or Amnesia, or something else you already have!

or he can stop playing games for a night, run into the bedroom and whip out the aspara-Gus and see what happens.

I finished both Amnesia and the Azz game. If it goes on sale that often maybe Grim Dawn is the way to go for now.

Looking on Metacritic right now it has a decent 72%, combined user and critical reviews. Grim Dawn has a stronger 86%, solely user reviews.

Betrayer is one of the many games I purchased and never played. A year ago, in this specific case.

Judging by the Subject heading and the poster, I thought this thread was going to be about the old Wargamer.com site!!
