Comment on Just finished Doki Doki Literature Club, what a fucking rollercoaster
Kolanaki@yiffit.net 1 month agoI just finished Echo and Arches last night and holy shit.
Echo is a bit odd with the pacing, the choices and a general vibe of “this was made up as they wrote it.” It wasn’t particularly scary, either. Meanwhile, Arches, knocks it out of the park. The main story is pretty scary, and then the “alternate reality” part makes for a good buddy cop type show premise with a horror twist to it.
Now I’m about to start up The Smoke Room. Echo Project is awesome.

Ugh, I feel like there’s no way I could do Arches if it’s way scarier than Echo. Maybe if I only do it during the day. I’m fairly sure when I did Echo I played it into the night and regretted that. I do feel like dipping back into it all for the story though. I think I’ll try the let’s play series at some point to start with.

Well… Did you think the monsters were scary or Brian and Duke? Because Arches has less supernatural horror and more of the realistic kind, and with the whole romance between the main characters along with the themes of PTSD and trauma, the action sequences are so much more visceral and realistic.

Moreso the supernatural stuff for me. The other stuff was dark but I wasn’t checking for Brian under my bed.
