Survival-horror game sound survey

Hi, I'm new to this community. I'm studying sound in survival-horror games for a university project, and I'd really appreciate it if some of you guys could fill in an informal survey about it. It's all anonymous and shouldn't take long. Thanks very much in advance

Done and done. I like surveys.

Here, let me fix that link for you.

Done.
Funny - I used for examples mainly Amnesia and Haunting Ground.

I used Amnesia as an example too My other example was Silent Hill, though.

Thanks very much

I finished it too! Glad to help out!

Awesome! Just finished it. Mainly what was going through my mind the whole time while answering the questions was Silent Hill 2. Especially how the sounds and music in that game can be disturbing and very unsettling at times.

lolwat?

Mass...

What? It's a survey and it's horror related! I just can't pass such a thing!

I've never actually played Amnesia before. I heard it was pretty scary, and it's main competition is Silent Hill. Based on what I've played before, I think SH2 is by far the scarist, most fucked up (Pyramid Head having fun with the mannequins) game I've ever played.

Who says its main competition is Silent Hill? The games aren't really similar and being an indie game it really doesn't compete with anything.

True,besides - in Amnesia you can't kill your enemies,but they can kill you with one hit(cough,Brute,cough) and they can outrun you easily.

BTW Haunting ground bears a resemblance to RE3.Remember how Nemesis always appears in random places through the game?We have the same thing in HG,but more often.However, if you knock out your stalker,he won't stay "dead" like Nemesis - he'll just get up after half a minute and will become harder to avoid(and more brutal).You can steal an item from him,though.

Good point, as you could pick items from Nemesis too after defeating him on an occasion. I wouldn't doubt if HG seems similar to an RE game anyway, they used a lot of ideas from RE4 Beta when developing it

The whole game is like Clock Tower meets Resident Evil.

Maybe,though none of the rooms or furniture resembles the one in the RE4 demo.The atmosphere feels a lot different too.Hewie however looks like the dog Leon saved.

It's like they took the best of RE3 and Clock Tower.

BTW RE4's demo reminded me a lot of Silent Hill.The mist in RE4 alone remind me of Silent Hill .

Not just maybe, they did. Now, I'm not saying they used the whole concept but they used some elements. Which ones, we might never know.

I do think that since the games are intertwined with each other they used the same model, propably referencing Hewie with that dog.
