Quintin Smith @ Gamasutra: "Czech puzzler Machinarium looks to be the PC's solitary darling for October, which is a crime and a sham and a shame and other such nastiness. Let me tell you about The Void, another Eastern European PC game that's out this week in the UK, a game that's stranger, more interesting and more ambitious.
'How strange?'
Well, you play a mute, incorporeal soul trapped between life and death in a land which looks like a nuclear bomb test site redesigned by a feng shui master, and your only means of interacting with the world is the removal and application of colour from a first person perspective."
The Void debuted on PC over a decade ago, and was entirely unique in it's presentation. However, for some reason, it's been lost in time.
A perfect accompaniment to Ralph Breaks the Internet.
BacklogCritic: "I have been a horror game enthusiast since the original Alone in the Dark came out. The fact that a game could evoke such emotion within me was a powerful force. It was a small step that began a journey to today, and many games have come and gone over the years. Some I remember fondly, despite their flaws, while others were not worthy to even remember their names. The lineup has changed with each successive year, and will continue to do so, as long as I keep gaming."
The writer must be young....Fatal Frame...Alone in the Dark...and Silent Hills as an honorable mention? Damn SH 2 gave me nightmares... Hell even the PT demo and Layers of fear was scarier than most games on this list.
What the hell, at least I agree with No 1, RE7 in VR was traumatising...and I only played about an hour!
Soma should not be in that list, it is the top 10 horror games of all time. Also Dead Space and Silent Hill are honorable mentions?? Such travesty!
