oops, i'm not ready yet

 

[ChoklitCow]

I'm excited for this when it is done!

SOMA could get on here too it's one of the best horror focused experiences of this generation

EDIT: Also OP if you ever need any testimonials from ERA members I'm down :)

Where's Endless Ocean 2? The one time I actually had to stop playing a game out of fear.

"Based on The Phonemon and The burning"

Assuming this line was part of the description of Clock Tower it should read "Based on Phenomena and The Burning". And really they're not borrowing much from The Burning besides the look of the murder weapon.

EDIT: Also, where's Echo Night?

When I meant I wasn't ready, I meant I really was not ready lol. I'm still researching everything and debating if somethings really deserve a place here.
