I would give it four stars, however the addition of haunted k*ller portraits and dirty bathroom bump it down to 2 1/5 stars. It really ruined the experience for me."

    I don't get having so much stuff when people are renting out their homes. Aren't they concerned people might steal stuff? I wouldn't rent out or in, but if I did I would keep it bare minimum. I'm not talking specifically about the family photos in your story that people may not want, but valuable things and in general. Side note, John Mulaney asked a man why he stole family photos. He said because it's the one thing that you can't replace. Messed up.

    I stayed at a Berlin AirBnB place twelve years ago. The owner rented us his private flat for one night as the one we chose was overbooked. It was a stylish place, adorned with a bunch of equally stylish pornographic Japanese rope bondage photos. Also small photos of the owner in some kind of theatrical performance, or a cult ritual. So yeah, seems to be a standard AirBnB thing ;)

    Honestly if it were me, there would definitely be some red flags in those reviews that would make me sleep in the truck. You should have emergency items in your vehicle at all times for stuff like this anyways, and if you don't, this is your sign to do it. Water, blankets, flashlights, roadside emergency items (like jumper cables, those reflective triangles or flares, glass breaker, seat belt cutter, etc), and also make sure you have a spare tire and everything to change it, or if you have a newer vehicle, your fix a flat.

I get that stories can have some goofy writing like that, maybe to increase the MC's vulnerability and fear factor, but it's too farfetched for me. Also, the MC going at night instead of day time. If the devs wanted it to be dark then they could have all the windows shut and the MC unable to open them. I don't like too dark games anyways where it's too dark for me to see and enjoy the game.

    Maybe cause you like that game, or to see how Manly would fair at a hard game. He seems to mainly like playing short indie games, or games with unique ideas. More indie and from smaller devs than Rainworld.

    The Portraits story has always scared me bad. Whenever I remember it, whether by seeing it online or having it randomly pop up in my mind, my stomach churns. So this game was set up to terrify me. The creepy atmosphere and lighting, unsettling creaks and groans, color choices, and spine chilling "paintings" made it much worse. The portrait in the bathroom scares the shit outta me (pun intended). The paintings that are chiaroscuro (using stark contrasts of light and dark) look like they are monsters in shadow, waiting to strike. And I think the others having blurry details made them scarier than if they were clear and visible - like you are squinting at something unknown in the dark, making out its vague shape. This game is just very well made, every detail terrifies me. Well done to the creators, thank you for my inevitable nightmares.

A lot of the portaits' eyes looked like a different color from the rest of the body, making me think that there were holes cut out at the eyes for actual people to stare inside

    _I always feel like somebody's watching me_ ♪ ♫ I loved that original creepypasta. It was always freaky to think people were looking at you all night with hatred. This was a good modernization of it with the B&B setting. The only clue you got that they weren't "portraits" was when the one was empty, then came back and you had to close the door. And yes, just like you said, some guests never survived, leaving food to rot and dirty towels. But others made it out. And figure, to get a 1.2 rating, at least 2 people out of 10 had to rate it 2/5 at least lol. Good lighting and sound effects!

    If this is based off the story I think it is, I'm both excited and apprehensive. It was the short but hard-hitting way the original was written that put such a vivid and brutal image into my head for literal years, and did wonderfully at evoking the fear of being watched while vulnerable, and fear of the unknown. Hoping the game is able to live up to it, and is able to tell the story just as effectively through a different medium.

    these are my fave types of indie horror, ones that are kinda short story with focus on a good atmosphere and leads to a good ending twist, not 5 hours of running back n forth and collecting x key to fit y puzzle. It must help having a good base with the creepypasta but i love a good indie horror that takes a out-of-this-world idea or twist that would just destroy your brain if it happened to you and with this one, it could so even more relateable for the player

    Hmm, I think I prefer the base material creepy pasta. Think about this: Would you really rather stay in a place like this when you can actually just sleep in your vehicle? In the source material, the character is a hunter lost in the woods, so taking shelter in a vehicle isn't an option-- it's either creepy house or sleeping exposed out in the woods. I also think the opening could be condensed a little. It's a lot of words for "I'm too tired to keep driving, and I better sleep instead. There's this cheap motel/AirBnB/whatever with bad rating near me, but screw it, I'm staying", but this is just a very minor complaint-- perhaps some people will find it good for setting the mood? That said, the game IS creepy and scary! The death thing coming out of the pantry got me a little, and I definitely felt the uneasiness, so that's very good. Oh, and major bonus points for never using jumpscares (with sudden loud noises)! (And the brief shining eyes on portrait when we came out of the bedroom was great.)

    Even if someone has a car, it's not farfetched for them to prefer to rent a place. I think that's also the culture in America. It's also the culture in some places to use public transportation more. Tho I prefer people to think more for themselves and be more self sufficient.
