Hey there /flow/, I couldn't decide if this should go in /og/ or not, but since it's about .flow, and directed at .flow gamers only, I put it here.

Has anyone played "The Room"? Its a Japanese-developed game, supposedly a really, really far off-shoot of Silence of the hills. It has SO MANY similarities to flow, it makes me suspicious.

You're main weapon is a STEEL PIPE. You also later get a HANDGUN. The plot of the game is that YOU CAN'T LEAVE YOUR APARTMENT because YOU CANT OPEN THE DOOR. Your first observation about your now fucked-up room is that its "COVERED IN BLOOD AND RUST" You travel through revolving worlds, and can't tell dream from reality. Even your TV stops working.

Sorry to go on a rant, but I just starting playing this, and my head started screaming! So, what do you guys think?

Opening talks a lot, but the gameplay itself is worth it.

Sillent hill is pretty mainstream. It may be similar though, but the context is completely different, although you may say that .flow may have taken some inspiration from the earl Silent Hill franchise I don't think you can add any more thought to it.

what the fuck is this thread. Silent hill 4 came before .Flow

You're basically saying, "I played .flow first and then I played The Room, so OBVIOUSLY The Room copied off of .flow!" even though a two-second Google search would've told you that The Room came out in 2004, i.e. before .flow (or even Yume Nikki, which *according to your logic* copied off .flow as well).

Yep, I've played SH4: The Room quite a bit; it's my second favorite Silent Hill in existence.

Like others have said, it did come before .flow but I can certainly see the similarities between the two.

Holy shit guys, he just said that there were similarities, he didn't mention which was ripping off what.

You know what makes more sense? .flow getting its mood from The Room instead of being a buttflustered fanbase that denies any similarities to any other games.

i think the "similarities to .flow" implies they believe that silent hill 4 the room is a rip of .flow. if they meant that silent hill 4 seemed to be the inspiration behind .flow theyd say ".flow is really similar to silent hill 4 the room"

though i wonder if this person is just trying to troll due to the 'Silence of the Hills' part.
