This is the Q&A and advertising forum for the horror game Scotophobia (http://www.roblox.com/Scotophobia-WIP-2-Done-place?id=60145003). Just a couple things first. 1. The game used to be called Claustrophobia, but I changed it, which is why I made an entirely new thread about it 2. The game is called Scotophobia because Scotophobia means fear of darkness, and I believe that Scoto is an entirely fresh phobia that no game has been named before. Pluss, its root is 'darkness'as apposed to the others which their roots meant 'twilight' and 'night', I wanted to stick with darkness because it was more accurate. 3.I will not reveal too much about the game. Verry little about the contents will be deployed. 4. Feel free to ask any question on this forum 5. There's an update log on the game's page, check there daily for possible updates.
So, Scotophobia is a game that is set in a cave/mine, and the player has fallen through a hole while hiking to get in the actual cave. Obviously I don't need to say that something isn't right. First of all, the game is pitch black, second, yes the entity can show up and be scary at times but there are absoloutely NO JUMPSCARES! It's all ambience and when the monster does show up, it will be subtle at first so the player can notice it without the game forcing their reflexes to kick in.
That's all I'm saying about Scotophobia, expect a wild ride. Q&A and Feedback below, please. |

| Because this is the game forum, it's kind of appropriate... |

| Sounds like Amnesia: The Dark Descent, which I believe you mentioned in your Claustrophobia post. |

| Yes, I'm a big fan and this is inspired by games like Amnesia. |

I'd still love to see where this goes.
It's games like these that keep me coming back to this forum. |

| But that update will have to wait because Scotophobia will have to wait until after dynamic lighting comes out to update still further. |

Sorry for bumping again, unintentional.
There has been a certain feature added that will certainly confuse those who know who it is. Below contains incredibly minor spoilers. It is just one feature that is implimented in the game. Please do not read if you don't want to know about any mechanics.
I warned you. So, there's an Iphone in the game. This is to make it so you know your friends miss you. They know you're missing, and it gives you a bit of backstory. It will not be used just one time. |

| Hurray! Wouldn't the iPhone have bad reception in the game, though? |

| Awesome! What's the data plan for the iPhone? Hopefully not Verizon, I don't like the way they check themselves when they should be checking their rates. |

Dude, I really don't know. The iphone doesn't take big enough a part for anyone to care. It's quite a mechanic, but it's not that big. |
