Dead Rising/Nightmare Fuel: Difference between revisions

''[[Dead Rising]]'' lulls you into a false sense of security with its over-the-top premise. You are a reporter ([[Narm|he's "covered wars, you know"]]) who gets stuck in a shopping mall full of zombies in search of the ultimate scoop. Sounds safe, right?

----

** To add to that, you should notice a small detail about the zombies scattered throughout the mall. Some are scratching their necks in the same way that survivor is. The exact same way.

** There's an incredibly chilling piece on the first day. Frank comes across a traumtised survivor called Leah hiding in a Jewelry Store. When you talk to her, she grabs Frank and asks if he's seen her baby, but then she lets go and breaks down, confessing that her baby was [[Infant Immortality|killed by zombies]], and that she sprained her ankle running away. That isn't the scary part. It's when she begins to ''explain in detail about [[I'm a Humanitarian|the zombies eating her baby]]''.

*** Don't forget the hidden cutscene if you leave the main menu idle long enough. In it a mother and her daughter are driving down the road desperately trying to get away from the zombies, {{spoiler|only to end up stranded alone and helpless as a mob of zombies surround them while they scream.}} Imagine seeing that at around midnight after returning from a quick bathroom break or midnight snack.

* Sean and the True Eye cult are quite freaky. [[Uncanny Valley|The way the cultists move just isn't natural]] (a very slow, shambling crawl which is changed when they suddenlly rush forward))and they also have distorted voices that are very eerie sounding. Really, Sean is quite unsettling as well, with his penchant for public executions and his demonic tone of voice. And then, there's his [[Eye Scream|death]]. Really, if you haven't seen the cult yet, the curious player who explores the movie theater may be unnerved when they wander into Theater 4 and see the bloody eye symbols, the torches, and mannequin idol and wonder exactly what the hell went on in there. You just can't help but wonder: Exactly how long have they been doing this?
