Watched Charborg play the game, all he did was “sell stars” to his viewers, I had no idea that anything else was meant to happen until some sleep demon thingy attacked him because he never slept. I immediately fell in love with the game.

This is a game that really shows that jumpscaring the player constantly does not work. The true part of what makes a game scary is the build-up. This game is so quiet, and barely anything happens most of the time. So when something does happen, it hits like a train.

Kind of like real life. I don't get scared by anything, but anytime someone does manage to break my focus when I'm least expecting it, I do jump a little lol. It's honestly so much easier for a horror game to scare people if they really sneak up on them in a manner that isn't predictable or constant.

playing earlier today, i'm about 10 days in and haven't experienced any unnatural phenomena despite doing a lot of my outside work at night; i'm next to one of the satellite towers writing something down in my notebook when suddenly in my left ear, there's footsteps and they're approaching *very fast.* in a spontaneous fit of blind fear i accidentally drop my notebook instead of stashing it, pick up and throw the ATV instead of getting in, and when i start chasing it now rolling down the hill i trip on a physics object and go tumbling with it. when i finally got up there wasn't anything around to see or hear. a sound effect was all it took to activate the primal instincts in my brain and make me go absolutely nuts. can't remember the last time a game has done that to me; it's absolutely a testament to how masterful the slow burn in VotV is

I hate it when horror games depend too much on jump scares, gore, monsters, ghosts, killers, the potential for characters to be physically harmed, creepy effects, fear, or sight. I consider myself a horror game buff (elevated only) which is why my favorite horror game is listening to the PT soundtrack with my eyes closed.

In my personal opinion its so fun because of the extremely slow burn, it feels like a sandbox if you were stuck in survival and yet had the ability to still do whatever you wanted, and lastly, if the game actually wants to scare you, it can cause you get used to the routine of scan for signal fix satellite servers go to bed meet creepy creature, when it finally wants to scare you it brings you out of that loop by sending an extremely offputting lvl 0 signal or taking you bed out to the middle of nowhere north carolina

Frickin' Arirals. I have NO idea where my mattress is. I was gonna abandon it because I had just bought a sleeping bag, then thought better of it, then realized I no longer know where my mattress is, so I couldn't retrieve it any longer. Oh well, I guess my sleeping bag feels safer anyway.

the real secret formula of this games horror is it gives you a job, lets you goof off all the time, and then gives you the opportunity to go into that forbidden area that no one goes in at work

voices of the void is if you took a micromanagement sim, gave it a sandbox aspect but also from time to time added a good few reminders that this is still, indeed, a horror game. you could make your base a total memefest with posters and printer models but the game is not afraid to remind you "hey dickhead, you're not safe in there :)" ESPECIALLY in the later days of the story mode.

Makes me supremely happy to see more people notice this game. It's so damn comfy, I love this game.

I was initially attracted when Vinesauce Joel began playing the game on his streams, due to having previously enjoyed his series on *Signal Simulator; the game that helped inspire VOTV which was tragically abandoned by its developers a few years ago.* But Spaz was definitely the final push needed to make me actually play the goddamn game.

I think the best way to describe the feeling you mentioned at the start is, your right. Its not fun. But its compelling. A bit of media does not need to be fun to be engrossed in it. It presents a mundane gameplay loop sure, but it clearly has enough bones in its undercurrent of what things are going on to draw you in. Kind of like a mystery novel or a slow burn horror.

I would count that as a type of fun.

As a scientist, you can have your own Robot Assistant....... think about it.

Theres a weird satisfaction in completing virtual tasks for some reason. I assure you its the reason that games like Powerwash Simulator and Vicera Cleanup Detail are so popular

That was a perfect ending

Last thing that happened to me while playing was I got a signal that showed the surface of a planet in red instead of grey, I got a paper mache alien trebuchet launched at me from my garage (probably an Ariral prank), I heard a guttural roar that shook my base, but nothing came of it, I hallucinated my base being in a pitch black void, and when I jumped off the perimeter I woke up at the security gate, but I had no stamina or food, luckily I found a circle of mushrooms, I still passed out anyways, I slept on the ground 'til I had fifty stamina and ran back to the base.

Funny, I just finished bingewatching Vinesauce Joel's playthrough of the game. This game is his personal hell.

You know that quote from philosopher in the 20th century about humans finding enjoyment or fulfillment from the mundane? I think that’s what this is. It’s busywork but having something to do that isn’t overly repetitive but in still mundane can be calming or fun for some.

I think the ending of this video is the first time I've ever audibly laughed out loud at one of your videos.

I just love that there's not really ANY sort of traditional jumpscare, as in nothing will fly into your screen with a loud ass music...CRASH. Though there are loud, sudden events, they're never handled as they are in many of today's scary games. It's a slow, slow, slooow burn all the way through, what COULD be is generally what's the scariest.

I think the one thing you should spoil for anyone playing the game is to watch out for a *specific* signal. If you refine that signal to level 3, it's a game over unless you delete it and any saves you have of it before you die from an instakill.

Man, kinda just reminds me of when everyone was obsessed with powerwash sim, sometimes simple tasks can be entertaining.

It isn't even a joke how much I want to abandon civilization and get a job at a remote observatory

If you find a deer skull: microwave it.

Oh neat. This looks right up my alley.

One crossover I never expected

Nothings better than scanning alien mixtapes from space

I thought this was going to be a side of salt: voices in my head

the whole draw of this game is the mundane gameplay combined with that constant fear of what's going on outside, and what you might encounter when you're inevitably forced to go out there 'cause one thing's for sure; you're not alone

Not going to lie, this video just sparked some PTSD from a game I never played but a subreddit I browsed every now and again. Like, not even 10 sec in and I felt like I was about to have a heart attack from pure fear :C

This game is an insanity simulator. You end up doing the most insensible stuff in order to entertain yourself, like treating random objects as pets or sticking every piece of equipment into the microwave.

Oh god. I hear it. I hear the background music. *And here we are!*

Wow, didn't expect that

Im so happy this game is getting more and more traction :D

i like you are talking about very interesting spooky indie games

I would say that space is a Horror on it's own right.

I think you enjoy it because you’re constantly getting the satisfaction of completing a task, after playing games like Pokémon where you have to grind, walk, talk, talk some more, go through a cut scene with bad animation and then talk before finishing anything, this game is a nice change of pace where you finish one thing and then it’s on to something else

I think this game is genuinely one of the most innovative games I’ve ever played and deserves way more recognition

Did not know Voices of the Void was a game so i was really worried for a sec lmao

Spooky splatoon music casually plays in the background

Good vid sad i missed the stream of this

I think this game feels more like a park ranger simulator than a research one, even the signal processing is a bit similar to stargazing but with computers

This reminds me of something Jhonney RaZer said in a short, where its a horror game, but you can just avoid the horror if you don't want to.

Now now, please don't leave.

Seeing Scott go into that little nook in the tutorial brought back bad memories from when Joel did that

Good use of Kirby music

Enjoying this means you're becoming an actual adult.

"I've enjoyed this more than the new DLC for pokemon or Sonic." Speaks to the quality of this or the quality of that.
