The result is generic unlikeable characters with eerie faces, saying generic horror things ("there's gotta be another way out", "I won't leave you behind", i'm talking about this kind of stuff), walking through corridors to find an old letter you're not invested enough to care about and read. The Dark Pictures series has the aspiration to be an engaging horror movie-videogame hybrid, with groundbreaking facial expressions, but then reality hits: the gameplay is close to nonexistent, you walk through hallways looking for lore pieces and sometimes click a button for a QTE the faces of the characters are good but not good enough to get out of uncanny valley and justify playing the game over watching a movie and finally, the story, the writing, the characters, they're all bad. Once you play Until Dawn you've basically played all of them.
Despite that, if they give me a fun time and make me feel invested in the story, I'd like to give them a shot.
I also get the feeling that these games are visual novels, with state-of-the-art graphics and famous actors, but without much more substance. I haven't tried Little Hope or House of Ashes, but I don't know if it makes sense to play it by yourself or at least it's enjoyable with friends, are they worth it? I understand the gameplay is the same as Man of Medan, but are the stories any better? The Quarry (apparently, they're getting rid of the Dark Pictures name) looks at least more interesting in their setting and tone. Also, the gameplay had a weird structure, with moments of pausing between selecting options, options that felt like they went nowhere. The characters seemed very flat to me, the setting wasn't very interesting and the graphics had a bit of uncanny valley, not so much as to be annoying, but enough to make me chuckle.
Now that The Quarry, the new game from Supermassive, creators of Until Dawn, is coming out, what do you think of their previous games? I played Man of Medan in multiplayer mode when it came out in 2019 and it wasn't much fun, neither the story nor the horror was very good.
