How do the people behind some of our favourite frightfests come up with ways to keep players scared?
After years of development, Project Awakening is still nowhere to be seen. What exactly is going on?
I was impressed with the trailer and hoped to find out more and then it fell off the map with no new information. Not sure if it's vaporware or not but I stopped thinking about it and moved on. Maybe it was moved to a new and improved engine, moved to PS5 development and suffers the long Dev times that many games had/have suffered from lately. Who knows. But we'll see.
As for gaming bolt, that video was trash. A long winded video that says nothing for 7 minutes going back and forth on it may or may not still exist and just kept going and going and going trying to produce an informative video with barely any information. Like an article with a word quota that's just paragraphs of nothing. Showing me that they haven't gotten any better at game journalism. If we can even call it that.
One of the directors for the game already said that game was still being worked on just last month....

Just how shock-ing is it?
VGChartz's Thomas Froehlicher: "Although Rauniot is shy on its lore and narrative, it still excels at captivating the player with an eerie, haunting world and incredibly tough riddles. It may also only be a few hours long, but those are hours of intense thinking and a deep sense of reward. Rauniot could never be described as user-friendly, but you'll want more anyway if you're thirsty for mysteries."
Golden age lol. Sure. The Golden age of horror games has probably passed years ago. Same as rpgs. Especially jrpgs which was snes through ps2ish but mostly snes through ps1 imo. This isn't the Golden Era for horror games most of them coming out seem like knock offs of pt silent hill. While some look better then others, Golden. Age wouldn't be how I describe this Era.
For me it is. I literally just finished off Amnesia the bunker. Playing though Dead Space on game pass. Picked up RE4 DLC, and just bought Calisto Protocol on sale. Plus Alan Wake 2 just dropped. Not sure if ghostwire counts but ima play that after as well.
Resident Evil in VR
Period
I will go with a maybe.
Horror games have been seeing an extremely healthy number of releases that more or less appeal to every kind of market. If it's more or less than what we saw during the PS2 era, I can't say, but just this year we got new franchises, remakes and sequels of really high quality.
I wouldn’t say golden age but definitely a renaissance.
