Pretty much, I’m looking for a game where I’m not the hero, I’m not the protagonist, I’m just a pawn in the big picture.

Preferably a game with a big open world too, one that feels real and isn’t just a predetermined path for my player.

I also like games where you aren’t clearly stronger than all your opponents like you’re some sort of God so they actually feel intimidating and there is a fear of dying

All suggestions are welcome

Thanks :>

      There’s 0 danger in the base game (aside, you know, the sun…), so you can progress, fail, and retry without any stress.

      The DLC though, it radically changes that and there are actually jump scares. It’s a whole different vibe.

        There’s an option to turn off the jump scares. I didn’t think it detracted from the plot.

          You can, but I still think that the last third of the DLC is too different from the base game, and really stressful. It soured the ending for me :(

      Same here, I tried getting into this game and I love the concept but actually playing it gives me too much anxiety!

      Sometimes it can feel that way, but try to keep pushing if you can. It’s a very rewarding experience and left me with good memories.

        Dark Bramble is somewhat anxiety inducing (especially at that one point), but the rest it’s more just learning to ignore the timer. There’s no rush ever. You can always come back.
