Games that Don't Fake the Space
Added 2023-07-06 15:30:08 +0000 UTCIt's a video about architecture, in a sense.

Yeah, I kept thinking about MyHouse.wad - a recent Doom mod that casually recreates, at scale, the impossible, endless labyrinth of the Navidson house, complete with the terrifying noise, for no other reason than to unnerve the hell out of the player. It does a few sneaky silent teleportation tricks, but the majority of the space you can explore is exactly what it looks like. It's a completely optional area that most people won't even find without knowing where to look, it's completely empty, there's no in-game reason for you to go in... and yet once you find it, it's impossible not to.
