A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I’m playing this right now (no spoilers please!) and find this game kind of scary! Fear of the unknown, etc.
There's 0 danger in the base game (aside, you know, the sun...), so you can progress, fail, and retry without any stress.
The DLC though, it radically changes that and there are actually jump scares. It's a whole different vibe.
There's an option to turn off the jump scares. I didn't think it detracted from the plot.
Wasn't it called "reduce frights"? Unless is has changed in the recent weeks, that option doesn't turn off jump scares. They would have to redesign half of the DLC to be able to turn that mechanic off.
It is and I think it makes them into not jump scares. But here's a good description. Slight spoilers for a small section of dlc.
