I think it would have broken up the monotony of the game and would have made it feel more brilliant. This would have been better as strictly a psychological horror experience where you can't die. I think they were great at flushing out some of the story, but the monster (whatever it is) feels really out of place. I felt like this character and story arc needed to be flushed out more, and not just through notes laying around. I just didn't like Val and felt like their story fell a bit short, even though it had the potential to be really interesting. I felt Val was just an uninteresting, extremely unlikable in a bad way. I actually hated that, even though her death scene admittedly was relieving to see since she was such a bad person, I guess. Except the last encounter at the end where she dies. Her scenes certainly felt tense and made you feel like you were actually running for your life. While I hated my first encounter with Marta, I found her pretty scary throughout most of the encounters you have with her. *SPOILERS* And here's some of the stuff in specific I did and didn't like. I also liked the setting, even if it was cliche and unoriginal, I think it set the mood quite well. Numerous enough to feel like there was some kind of real variety there. It was certainly tense, and the story was interesting, even if the ending needed more to it (I'll touch more on that in the spoilers). It certainly was scary when it tried to be. I also felt like the game relied too much on using the night vision mode on the camera and that the sound detector was kind of worthless in most of the game. The framerates would also randomly drop (and some play throughs it wouldn't, even in the exact same spot) which also gave me some difficulty playing. I often found myself getting stuck on a big pile of nothing and being killed in the process. Sometimes the controls felt off and I also found myself dying a lot because of the game and not my own inability to play. I love a good challenge in a game, but I want to feel more terrified while playing a horror game than I want to be challenged, and it seems like the game tried so hard to be the latter it sacrificed horror elements at times in the process. The game is certainly scary, at parts, but the trial-and-error gameplay style switches it from "scary" to "frustratingly annoying" real quick, and a few gameplay tweaks could have changed this. I have to say, where it it succeeds it excels and where it fails it fails badly.
*SPOILERS AT THE END* I will give a warning before I start spoiling things. The fact that Val starts hearing something different than Knoth may also show different reactions to the frequencies.This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Being estranged from the outside world, the sound of radio frequencies is so strange that it alters their mindset. The voice that Val hears is the radio frequency.She notes that the voice is not God but something physical like her but she desires it more than anything. Val wants to consummate her relationship with the voice that she hears.Although she doesn’t see it as hate, but more as an embarrassment to God and what inspired her to make the heretics. Val also abhors Knoth and the Testament’s views and insults him for being a rapist and child-killer (which is quite hypocritical of her).
She is Lascivious and never tries to hide it.Val sees her monstrous actions as “The sharing of love” and refers to her underlings as “my loves”.Val also lecherously licks lynn’s body after choking her out, making it very likely she doesn’t see gender. Val brags about her wet dreams of her infant children being gruesomely murdered and also sexually assaults blake whenever she gets the chance, at one point raping him.Val is a proudly psychotic & perverse sexual predator whose life goal is to assist in the birth of the Anti-Christ to enjoy in its bloody, apocalyptic rampage.Val and the heretics adopted a new lifestyle, took shelter within a tunnel system in the mines. In her journals it’s said Val is like a membrane awaiting penetration she wants the voice of whomever she is hearing to consume them. These meetings eventually inspire Val to split from the Testament and form the Heretics, aiming to assist the birth of the Anti-Christ rather than prevent it, due to her love for Chaos and death. Val then dug a tunnel in a remote area on the outskirts of Temple Gate where she met up with testament followers like her who wish to discuss their dreams. These emissions made her question her beliefs of the cult.
I woke this morning thinking I was wetted with the blood of a child’s slit throat. And I wake laughing, and aroused, and often wet with the involuntary lust of sleep. But my dreams are nothing but the murder of my children. She began to have vivid nocturnal emissions of the Testament’s monstrous bloodshed, writing:
