NIBRIS, one of the smaller development houses confirmed to be working on a title for the Revolution, recently revealed some goals for their game Sadness. In striving for a more atmospheric, psychologically-based game, NIBRIS hopes to stress on the player's nerves and shock them into submission.
“...In my head there is a voice, different from the others. Whenever it answers it overwhelms the remaining voices, it mixes up thoughts and destroys peace. It tells me that I'm only mixed up in a thought which yearns to prove its own existence. The voice which whispers that I'm not really who I am and the perceived reality is only an abstraction created by my own mind. It is the original voice, which wants to free itself from my head, to free itself from the logic and reason it is being stifled by. The voice of animal endurance at all costs, which forces onto unimaginable things. It is the voice of chaos which is now screaming frightfully in my head for me to take an axe resting against the wall and cut off my father's head.”
I hope to see something that combines the dark atmosphere of Call of Cthulhu with the shockingly clever mindgames of Eternal Darkness.

Eternal darkness sucked!
Silent Hill 2 is the scariest horror game of all time, with the best story.

it's about time somebody mentioned Eternal Darkness... truly ingeniuos conceptually, although the control and graphics were, admittedly, lacking... i've wondered when we'd see another game like it since i first played the game years ago. here's to hoping Sadness delivers a truly unique and mind-blowing mental experience!

i'm as excited for the revolution as a lot of people on here, but i just can't get behind this. it sounds like a high-school aged goth kid wrote it.
i hope (but don't expect) that the narrator isn't the player's character. horror games are a lot more effective when you can relate to the main character and project yourself into the situation (imo). not being insane (as far as i know) will definitely impact my ability to empathize with the main character.
but of course i will reserve final judgement for when i actually get to play it.

Eternal Darkness was a great game. Some of the tricks they played on you were ingenious. (Controller unplug, game reset, etc) Those who have played it know what I'm talking about.
