what

if you end up enjoying fb&c i can also recommend you try another game, "milk outside a bag of milk outside a bag of milk", the setting and the themes actually give me somewhat similar vibes!

haha yeah! they often are! something about their horrible past, but also the sheer melancholy of their architecture, repetitive stairways and grey concrete - it's especially magnified and put into a much closer, more intimate perspective the more familiar you are with the space

oh gotchu! yeah it's based on her childhood experiences iirc?

i also lived in a very similar area btw so this game resonates with me SO MUCH (signalis too, to an extent! some of the scenes feature the soviet-inspired architecture but it's much more opressive there (still feels comfy to me lol))

it's incredibly cool yes, and pleasant indeed
what exactly do you mean by "suspiciously authentic"?

fb&c is not top-down but it's a side view, like most rpg maker games, but i think the effect is similar yeah
no ghosts or mirrors or spiders! one thing is there's a lot of meat. but like only 1% of it is gore in any sense of the word. basically you can expect what's in the title!

haha omg
there's like two things at most in it (and one is optional) which might actually be a bit shocking, i can actually tell you when and what they are if you don't feel like encountering them for yourself!

ANYWAY no flesh blood and concrete is not really scary, same deal as signalis, very atmospheric, not really any active scares, mostly just horror in theme and atmosphere
in fact i only played signalis bc someone said fb&c reminded them of signalis, & I havent heard of it b4 that! I LOVE BOTH GAMES

HAHA YEAH OMG im so EMBARRASED idk why I thought that I think I need to get some sleep

SORRY

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

WAIT IM SO SORRYYYYYYYYYYYY I THOUGHT YOU WROTE ALL THIS UNDER A SIGNALIS POST IM SO DUMB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't remember much of Detention sadly, but yeah no, both Omori or Detention isn't the same kind of horror as Signalis - but also you have to know Signalis is survival horror - you actually have to fight the enemies sometimes and manage your inventory
you can watch the trailer and decide for urself

I think, like some other games, Signalis is mostly horror in theme, tone and atmosphere, not in blood-chilling moments or jumpscares or w/e
In fact, it can be soothing sometimes, I have memories of warm experiences from it too
i liked Detention but i LOVE Signalis, pls play it, its worth it

Having played both I think Detention is scarier
Signalis has cutscenes and 1st person view but the game is mostly top-down and the only scary things happen there
Even then, there's no jumpscares or anything, mostly just tense moments in combat or the sound of enemies noticing you (u get used 2 it)

it's your game ofc, but i hope the save points are different in the light world compared to dark world... it could be like, saving on computers or something

bluesky exclusive! (how pretentious lmao) - i actually drew them almost fullbody but decided against it, this is the old version before i cropped it, don't mind ariane's face sliding off

i will absoultely do and post more of signalis stuff in the future tho! lol
