You’re the oldest little one, however you’re nonetheless a child. This means the entire home round you feels large and looming. Kind of uncomfortable, actually.

Instead, you should keep out of sight, holding to the shadows and dipping into closets or into small hiding spots. While I’ve finished this in lots of horror video games, one thing about being a little one makes that vulnerability really feel that a lot stronger. I used to be endlessly nervous making an attempt to maintain this child secure, feeling a sense of my very own weak spot always weighing down on me. Maybe I simply fear about children extra since I’m at all times fearful about my very own, however having to assist a little one by way of this example made the stress really feel crushing and highly effective. Definitely made the scares that a lot stronger at any time when one of many intruders caught sight of me.

Intruders: Hide and Seek is a horrifying expertise in making an attempt to assist a susceptible little one escape a number of harmful individuals. That perspective and helpless feeling made the horror really feel extra intense. I can solely think about how scary it might have been if I’d tried the VR model once I was already this nervous enjoying it.
