pearlguitar-88

Some scary games are not about jump scares but there still scary

sharpdolphin-67 OP

Every scary games revolves around jumpscares and random simple dialogue most of the time

pearlguitar-88

No man they don't you just didn't find the right one

sharpdolphin-67 OP

You never play scary games?

pearlguitar-88

I play scary but saying all of them are jump scares and simple dialog is insane dude it's like saying coffee tastes the same it doesn't each one is unique and special but with the same core which is scary

sharpdolphin-67 OP

Idk I be watching CaseOh’s Scary games content thats where im looking at most of the time
And those games are scary for indie games

pearlguitar-88

Oh yah that's why 😭

sharpdolphin-67 OP

His content is funny

pearlguitar-88

It is funny but most games he'd be playing are not even close to being top class

sharpdolphin-67 OP

Vast majority of em are indie games which it respects the local creators

pearlguitar-88

I know but he plays game made with a small group of ppl play a game that was actually made by a big company like play scorn or if you wanted a good indie game play fear and hunger or play cry of fear these are high class

pearlguitar-88

pearlguitar-88

sharpdolphin-67 OP

If i recall
Caseoh was playing Phasmophobia with Jynxzi and Sketch
