Are there any encounters you wish felt scarier?
Before I begin, I want to say that I think this is a great horror game with incredible enemy designs that give me chills, but there are some that just felt a bit underwhelming to me.
For me, an enemy I felt wasn’t as scary as I wished he was would be Face Taker. I loved his transformation (detransformation?), but his true form doesn’t really do it for me.
It’s just, after all you go through to figure out the Fred that stole the real one’s face (unless you looked up a guide or attacked him just because), his true form leaves less of an impression on me than all the other Freds. It’s just paint with some hands and some teeth, that’s it. It’s not really striking to me for such an important character.
I suppose he doesn’t feel that threatening to me. Maybe if he had a unique game over others like the Rat King have about, say, him stealing your face and going out into the apartment trying to deceive others into thinking he was just someone trying to survive (he does hint at it with the line after he gives up his disguise “This palette can be so constraining. I think it's time I experiment with... another.”) I’d find him a bit scarier, but as it stands, I just don’t find him scary.
