A ridiculous way to play through a VIDEO game you say? Perhaps. But that is one freaky game. (I’m a writer, I do NOT use the word freaky lightly.)I’ve used the walkthrough a few times not for the precious achievement cheats, but so I don’t jump out of my skin. I’m not entirely fond of my skin, but I’m a status quo girl when it comes to my bodily functions.Here’s the thing that also makes this game fantastic apart from the story, atmosphere, and gameplay: the sound is amazing.The way the game uses sound effects, and incorporates it into the atmosphere of the levels, is only partially why it’s great. The specific sound effects associated with each enemy type are really well done. Rarely has sound said so much to develop character in a game. Though the Silent Hill games have always made good use of sound too.Anyway, back to playing during the day, with my eyes closed.Am I too sensitive?
