Game Cube- Eternal Darkness
Absolutely loved that game. I even fell for a couple of it's tricks when your character loses too much sanity.
I played this with my now-wife; the most memorable of these for me was climbing into a room that had no enemies, just piles of treasure, and we were both saying, "Oh, wow, that's unexpected..." and whatnot, and after a few seconds we just looked at each other and said, "Wait, this is probably fake, isn't it..." just before it reverted.
Absolute gem of a game.
The fake-outs of things such as the TV volume adjusting were fun but obviously don't work for everyone as it wouldn't of matched their own TVs on screen graphics.
There was one however which claimed the GameCube memory card was corrupted and the save game was lost. Yeah, that freaked me out for a few seconds. ๐
I feel like if this one was particularly unknown, it wouldn't be so goddamn expensive.
You're right though, more people should play this
From what I can find, it sold less than half a million copies.
Less than half a million copies on a system that is generally considered a flop itself, market wise.
I'd say it's become well known, definitely, at least among fans of the horror genre. It deserved better, they had some really creative systems in play. Would be nice to see it made available for modern audiences, wish they could've gotten the sequel out, too.
That games was a masterpiece.
