#i had to google horror games after i thought really hard for silent hill and fnaf

[skyburger]

"fnaf is the scariest game ever" "no its silent hill" "well i think its resident evil" everyone shut up!!!!!! youre all wrong. its actually zack & wiki quest for barbaros' treasure (on the nintendo wii) but only the level "keeper of the ice". that level scared me so bad as a kid and you can tell because its the only individual level i remember the name of off the top of my head. like there is nothing scarier than a) being chased and b) being on a time limit. and you know what this level has? BOTH OF THOSE. this level is still scary to me im like AHHHHH!!!! and then i die

[sanpape]

hey! hey caeley!! i have a qastion for u if u don’t mind. i see you posting about fear and hunger a lot and i’m like 👀 cuz i do be liking rpgs and i do be liking horror…. could you tell me more about it without any spoilers? like, a bit about the gameplay, story, whether i need to get the first one to play… i googled a bit but i’m already running into spoilers so i was wondering if you could help out here since it seems to be an interest of yours?

Oooo you've come to the right place, I could talk about these games for hours dbsjsj

I'll be breaking this question down into two parts because the first and second games are sort of different beasts that appeal to different sensibilities? (Idk if that makes any sense)

Fear and hunger

f&h1 is a dungeon crawler rpg set in medieval England(?), Centering around the eponymous Dungeons of Fear and Hunger.

There are four playable characters which sort of fit into the classic "adventuring party" setup (a knight, a mercenary, a dark priest and an outlander) all of which have different reasons for coming to the dungeons. They all have vastly different play styles and that combined with the fact that nearly all the items in the game are found through rng AND the fact that rooms in the dungeon are randomly generated mean two people's playthoughs can look extremely different.

Gameplay wise, f&h forces the player to manage an ever dwindling sanity and health meter whilst fighting off various monsters with a j-rpg boss battle amputation mechanic. (Really though, every fight in this game is just as capable of killing you as the next, nothing is safe.)

I personally can't speak too much about the plot of the first game because I've never actually played it. But without spoiling anything, all the player characters are in the dungeon to find a man called Le'garde, the head of a mercenary group called the knights of the midnight sun who's trying to ascend into godhood.

Everyone has varying motives with what they want to do to Le'garde once they find him, the knight wants to smooch him, the outlander wants to kill him, the dark priest wants to know why Le'garde gets to ascend to godhood and not HIM (the vastly cooler, sexier, more religious person), and the mercenary just wants to get some cash to feed his family (I guess? I'm not totally sure)

Fear and hunger: Termina

Termina is the sequel to f&h1. It's set 700 years after the first game in post WW2 Prague. Which is a wild jump in time and space. But anyway.

In termina, you play as one of 8 playable characters: A doctor, a journalist, a boxer, a botanist, an occultist, a runaway soldier, a mage and a mechanic. The game starts with the player on a train to the city of Prehevil after having weird dreams about the moon forcing them into a battle royale style death game over the course of 3 days. When the player awakens, they find that their train is stranded in the forest on the outskirts of town and that the other passengers have had the same dream. Just when things couldn't get worse, the players find that the towns people have been struck by some weird illness, causing them to mutate into... Well. Several things? It's a surprise.

Gameplay functions very similarly to the first game, except without the randomly generated rooms. In fact, termina is pretty much devoid of dungeons all together. It's mostly just exploring a really fucked up city. It's kind of like if pathologic and silent hill had a j-rpg baby.

General recomendations and closing thoughts

1) read up on the warnings before you play the game, I'm pretty desensitized to horror but these games don't pull any punches and some of the more triggering content makes them uh... Sort of hard to recomend? Which is a shame because if you can look past it, they're insanely fun.

2) don't be afraid to pull up a guide, sometimes it's worth getting a little spoiled over.

3) I personally don't think you need to play the first game if dungeon crawlers don't appeal to you, but that's just me.

4) if you haven't already, check out zuldim's video on the games. It's pretty much spoiler free and does a way better job of explaining what's going on with these games than I ever could. I haven't even scratched the surface of all the gods, rituals and religions this game basically runs on.

Semester break!

Anime, eat, sleep and repeat. nothing more than that, since it’s December alright. But I get to do what I like with someone I love. The question is, what or how do I spend my precious semester break? or holiday? Lets see.. or read.. get it?

—❀❀❀—

1st Dec,

Expectation: holiday

Reality: I have Tourism Examination at 9 in the morning.

I woke up so early, Farid made a breakfast for me. (ISNT HE THE SWEETEST KAWAIIEST BOYFRIEND EVER!!) Enjoyed the breakfast while revising for our last paper. Just want to get over it. and SEMESTER BREAK HERE WE COME!

 5th Dec,

Photoshoot session with my boyfriend. I am telling you he’s really really good at it. Selfie for myself its fine, but people taking photos of me, IM OUT. However ever since i’m with him, I kind of get used to it, a bit.

8th Dec,

Mark another month of the adventure with my boyfriend! As for today we went to this korean restaurant, which it was really good. Not so much for the price section, but still it’s good. Do you like korean food?

15th Dec,

I googled, yes I did. Searched for what to do during holiday, literally. Do something productive, well trying to thats why I google. So the list was:

Play around with new technology. The suggestion was Snapchat. 100% sure I am going to take a video of my cats or food. Which I did, and stopped because hello Instagram Story with no filter.

 Make a planner or organize for new year. I do want to do DIY stuff for my planner but my bank account said no no.

Call your long distance friends. But I don’t have any.

Start building a habit. That 21 or 30 days challenge. nope not now.

Learn a new skill. So I pick to Doodle. Earlier today, I bought the pens for doodle, firstly I doodle things for my boyfriend. Inspiration was from Pic Candle. and here’s the result!

Catch up on reading. The Chronicles of Nick series by Sherrilyn Kenyon, is currently my favourite. I’ve read vol 1 until 4.

Organize your inbox. My mail is so messed up full with updates of sales, of course. Again Mr.Bank said no no

Get exercise. #Laugh

Set goals for next year, probably do that probably.

19th Dec,

As for today it’s Family outing with my boyfriend day! well isn’t that exciting! no, really I’m excited af. Counting the numbers of  years I have been driving, my mother trusted my boyfriend to drive her car. What did I do wrong Where my mom asked Farid to drive her car. She hardly trust me to drive her car #crei but I was so happy for it. Went to Singapore Chicken Rice, watched Moana. Lots of singing, was expecting more but its fine.

22nd Dec,

Assassin’s Creed movie came out today! I have been waiting so long! all of those posters since form six life, LIES. and it was good. Did you watch it? if so, rate 0-10.

24th

He asked me to get ready, and both of us weren’t sure where to go actually. Wearing my new Jumpsuit, just because he convince me to wear it today, or else when. I’m not confident enough to wear it really, but lets just walk with it. We went to Tasek Lama, it’s been a while, after that drive around Bandar and lastly to the museum. damn feels, I was the one who’s overly excited. unfortunately the main building closed down, they said its been four year. WUT. BUT NO WHY BRUH. Museum technology it is then, well technically nothing related so much with technology. More like the history of your old housing, the tools we used for farming, fishing and more.

25th Dec,

Bandar ku Ceria, is one of the activity held at Bandar for every Sunday. I have always wanted to go there, but my siblings are not that adventurous type. but my mom is! Should’ve gone there last week, unfortunately I was sick. Not sick sick, not sure why but I can’t move my hands on day one, day two my legs hurt, and it lasts for a week. A week of not doing much at home. I can’t even hold a pen. Fast forward, back to today, we were suppose to get ready by 7, but yes they woke up a bit late and it’s fine. I thought it would end at 8 or so, (did not do my research).

There’s a lot of hooman, food and bikes. Also, bouncer, I want the balloons!! The weather was a bit gloomy. My mom, boyfriend and I went to Tamu Kianggeh/ Kianggeh Market  I do prefer the old ones, rather than like now. The feels man.

and also! Today is my bestfriend’s birthday! Happy Birthday chippy! I didn’t get to come or go to surprise her this year, I feel so bad but I did sent her a long text. still sad tho.

MEEEOOOOWWW

28th Dec,

I promised to my brother that I am going to treat them, into watching Assassin’s Creed, today is the day! Woke up so early because, bonus.

Bonus

/ˈbəʊnəs/

It is the time of the month where the number of hooman increases throughout the country, sort of. Because more money goes shopping, buys lots of stuff, too many cars, no parking, no nothing. FULLY BOOKED PLACES IDEK HOOMAN STAP.

Basically, go to the destination in my case Time Square as early as possible, for parking, bought the tickets early as well just in case they’re sold out. Bought the tickets for my brothers and my boyfriend bought the ticket for both of us to First Born. I hate horror movie. I’m sure 70-90% of the time I would most likely close my eyes or eye. Overall it was okay, scary but okay, the monster or ghost reminds me of Poods. By poods, Pewdiepie, one of those games he played. The movie is not even complete, I’m curious about the family background instead.

After the movie, bought my all time favourite food Chicken rice from Dean Ria and went back home, where my boyfriend decided to watch another horror movie. I suggested Long weekend, my first thai horror movie, part of the ending was funny. and lastly we watched Silent Hill, take not it was my first time watching. (take note again I do not watch horror movie #crei) Had a hard time going to sleep after that.

31st Dec

BBQ! of course! Happy new year! I eat a lot, like a lot and slow af. My family, my boyfriend and I watched movies while BBQ, yes. Watched Meet The Robinsons. Man I miss playng that complicated game on Playstation 2.

So how did you celebrate your new year? Food food and food? Happy New Year!

  Yumie

    Best of December 16 Semester break! Anime, eat, sleep and repeat. nothing more than that, since it's December alright. But I get to do what I like with someone I love.
