Sorrow Asylum 2

https://youtu.be/69dfIyJ2EyM It's Sorrow Asylum 1 just redder, better voice acting, darker atmosphere/tone, and more cryptic story as to why you're there. I like a good slow burn, but it retread everything from the first to the point I nodded off a few times. There was a small quirky charm to the first this clearly rushed rehash sorely lacks. Cannot suggest this one at all.

Sorrow Asylum 2 feels more like a prequel, as it features a young Lara. (not a burned chicken wing, just a normal child,) delving deeper into this game, it shows its not a prequel though. Honestly, not a load to say here, its like the first Sorrow Asylum, but a bit more claustrophobic, and it involves Laras past, (hence why I called it a prequel.) Positively spooky and interesting to follow. Voice acting is great, its truly spooky too. Back and forth in the same environment, some chases among other things. It may seem repetitive, but every "day" offers changes. Thank you Vidas, for providing me with a copy, much appreciated!

I really like how Vidas is never afraid to make his games even more surreal than usual. What I realized again while playing this, is that most of his games manage to convey a sort of subliminal, otherworldy logic, even if the story doesn't follow the logic of the real world. The perfect instance of this is martyrdom and both parts of Sorrow Asylum are very good in this regard as well. You brought the doctor here. No more patients on day 15. Imma be honest, I did not understand all of this. I have multiple interpretations right now and I look forward to revisiting for further analysis, but for now, I'll just say that I loved the depressing depiction of the asylum and Laras heart wrenching story with an optimistic ending. I would say "more like this please", but I have a feeling that Vidas does what he wants anyway and that is honestly fantastic. I'm always looking forward to new games.

돌루의 취향을 정말 알고싶지 않았는데..

"Sorrow Asylum 2,", presents a unique looping horror game experience that blends elements of an abandoned asylum with the intricacies of the player's mind, making it a sequel to the original "Sorrow Asylum." Pros: -Neat Looping Mechanics: The game introduces a looping mechanism where time stops unless the player progresses by collecting calendar pages​​. -Rich Storytelling and Character Development: Through characters like the Plague Doctor, Lara, and a new creature named Dalu, the game delves deep into themes of illness, abuse, and loneliness. -Atmospheric and Psychological Horror: "Sorrow Asylum 2" excels in building a haunting atmosphere, leveraging the psychological aspects of horror to unsettle players. Cons: Technical and Presentation Limitations: Given it's price and its development by a single creator, Vidas Salavejus, there is a slight limitation regarding the technical polish and presentation aspects of the game. Repetitiveness: The looping gameplay mechanic, while innovative, may become repetitive for some. Niche Appeal: The focus on psychological horror and a story-driven approach might not cater to all horror game fans, particularly those looking for more action-oriented or jump scare-heavy experiences​​. With a rating of 3 out of 5 Calendar pages, it's a game that could be worth exploring for those interested in its thematic depths, but others might find themselves lost in its enigmatic halls without a guide.

Truely a scary experience! Use of sound with headphones was very effective. Seems like it was good not to have played the first part.

The chase music wasn't as loud this time around lol. We did get to here more backstory on Lara this time and the Giant head around the corners made me jump a few times lol. https://youtu.be/KLaIIW5isDA

I really dug this one and also believe the scares and atmosphere are a step up from part one.
