Creating horror without jumpscares
Fourth Time Around (Demo) » Devlog
Fourth Time Around is a surreal retro, PS1-style walking sim horror game with no jumpscares. There’s a heavy emphasis on atmosphere, and everything - from the writing style, to the soundscaping, to the gameplay mechanics - is intentionally placed to deliver a very specific kind of feeling for the player.
In this devlog, we'll talk a little bit about the underlying philosophy that drives our approach to horror without jumpscares, along with a quick example at the end.
