The Painted World

i like the autumn parts

The sense of sheer panic you set up with the constant tremors, along with the paranoia brought in by the notes, the lantern's description, the broken bars and ball-and-chains, and even little things like Sophia's room seemingly locking you in, make the player feel completely helpless. Even if I had the feeling there was no real monster, I kept hiding under the benches, just in case. Which made the moment the monster ACTUALLY APPEARS even more frightening, as I had nowhere to hide.

I found myself genuinely feeling anxious and panicked throughout because of the constant building of tension. And the fact I got Ending 2 first because I was able to recognize the painting as a Subcon Painting made me feel genuinely rewarded for paying close attention to small details. Even if there was no real threat, I still FELT threatened.

This map is genuinely excellent. Applause to you, my friend, because you had me on the edge of my seat throughout.

I know it's been years since this was uploaded, but I wanted to give my thoughts on this. I find myself struggling with horror mods for this game, mostly because I'm always expecting something scary going in. However, I didn't read through the description of this map, and in all honesty? That was probably for the best.

I compare a lot of horror maps to Vanessa's Manor, because that level had the advantage of being a surprise for many new players. And most horror mods fail to capture that same feeling, even going into it blind. However, this? This not only met those expectations, but I firmly believe a blind run of this level is more tense than a blind run of Vanessa's Manor. There's something primal about the unseen monster that's constantly lurking. But to talk about it more in depth, I'd like to put the rest of this in spoilers... and in a second comment, cuz this is getting long.

absolutely beautiful. i come back to this one every now and then

I really love this level!!

Level had amazing atmosphere, and the dark parts were wonderfully tense!

i subscribed without really looking at the description or screenshots, definitely didn't expect a horror level from this, but god damn was it good. The story and atmosphere were incredible and the music was top notch

i kinda want more maps like this they are pretty good and the story is nice

amazing story

incredible work
