I think this is my favorite game ever, but I still haven’t played the DLC yet (I swear I’ll get around to it someday).

I’m not sure about the reduced frights setting. Are there jumpscares? And does it eliminate them or give more warning? I’m a complete coward when it comes to jumpscares 😭

    The DLC is a different experience compared to the main game, for sure. I never played with the reduce frights option, but I’d recommend biting the bullet and playing it in normal mode. Before too long, I think you’ll know whether the option is necessary, and I’m pretty sure you can toggle it on and off in the settings (I think). I know someone else was suggesting that it would be cool to play with the reduced frights option, but after having played through it myself, I’m glad I was able to experience it as intended by the developers. Trust the developers :3

      You and MsBluu have convinced me, I will trust the developers and try the DLC with frights on first

          A year later I finally played the DLC. I’m sad it’s over but now I have the modded stories to play.

          When I first got to the really dark area I couldn’t handle the tension so I turned reduced frights on. The story in the DLC was really good but I got frustrated as I couldn’t see and didn’t know where I needed to go.

          final puzzle spoilers

          Once you learn how to “hack” the dark area though to get into the vault, that felt amazing. I was mad that I never thought to try to drop the lantern earlier. I swear you almost have to look straight down at the ground to get the button prompt so it never crossed my mind.

          I really missed reading stuff with the translator tool, although I loved the slide shows.
