doors in survival horror/horror vidya
- Silent Hill: The door is rusted shut. It also has no knob and isn’t real. None of these doors are. What, did you think we’d let you in any of these doors? Fucking idiot.
- Resident Evil: Oh, well you gotta get the chicken emblem and place that in the one bathroom in a 30 mile radius, which gives you a small rod that you’ve got to place into the cogs of the clocktower, stopping it and dropping a gem that you need to place in a statue that needs to be moved in a very specific pattern, which drops aNOTHER emblem that you need to place perpendicular to a small animal that isn’t TOO small or TOO big, then that opens a secret passageway with a giant tarantula that you have to fight. Killing it gives you a key with a symbol on it that can only open THIS SPECIFIC DOOR. Have fun!
- Resident Evil 4: Just kick the door in half. You don’t give a fuck. Fuck this guy’s house, it’s my house now.
- Resident Evil 5/6: You are, for whatever reason, completely incapable of passing through some doors without your partner’s assistance. That’s pretty weird, you know.
- Haunting Ground: Go print out some words on a stone printer. They’re like keycards. But rocks.
- Rule of Rose: Some little fucker is going to shut the door on you. What a prick.
- Dino Crisis: I hope you like scrabble.
- Dino Crisis 2: It seems that someone misplaced a large vehicle into this door. Go find a key in a pond to open the other door.
- Fatal Frame: Hey I hope you like doing silly puzzles because here’s a clock, go ahead and input that time you read about earlier. Except it’s in Japanese.
- Left 4 Dead: I mean, yeah, that door opens, but the hunter behind it isn’t going to make things easier for you. Nah, just kidding, you heard the crescendo. It was 3 entire hordes at once AND a hunter.
- Penumbra: Well that door’s right fucked, innit? You see those boxes over there? You know what to do.
- Amnesia: Same as above but with Mr. Struts on your ass the entire time.
- S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: If it’s a locked door, you’re gonna need a keycode. Hope you’re ready to fight the burers behind it. The pseudogiants and bloodsuckers, too.
- X-COM: There’s a lobsterman behind that door. Don’t open it. Don’t even open the sub door. There’s lobstermen out there. Time to leave.
- Cryostasis: You’re going to have to go into some guy’s memories and make it so that he doesn’t get dead to get through this door. Or maybe a bear’s memories. Awesome.
- Echo Night Beyond: Run as fast as you can through a ghost without having a heart attack that doesn’t make sense because of the twist at the end to get a keycard and then backtrack a hundred miles in your slow-ass spacesuit to open a door. Life is suffering.
- Lifeline: Open door, Rio. Open the door. Rio. Open the door. OPEN THE DOOR. FUCKING OPEN DOOR. O-PEN DOHR. RIO PLEASE. RIO. RIO PLEASE JUST OPEN THE DOOR JESUS CHRIST IT’S GOING TO EAT YOU
If Cthulhu can be summoned by humans who are so far beneath it, why can’t humans be summoned by ants?
The answer is they should be.
Well if a bunch of ants formed a circle in my house I’d certainly notice, try to figure out where they’d all come from, and possibly wreak destruction there.
That’s why knowing and correctly pronouncing the true name is so important to the ritual. Imagine how impossible it would be to not go take a look if the circle of ants started chanting your name.
And they’re like, you can’t leave because we drew a line made of tiny crystals - now you have to do us a favor.
And you’re like, let’s just see where this goes “yup, you got me… what’s the favor?”
and usually the favor is like, “kill this one ant for us” or “give me a pile of sugar” and you’re like… okay? and you do, because why not, it isn’t hard for you and boy is this going to be a fucking story to tell, these fucking ants chanting your name and wanting a spoonful of sugar or whatever.
And SOMEtimes you get asked for things you can’t really do, one of them, she’s like, “I love this ant but she won’t pay any attention to me, make me important to her” and you’re like… um? how? So you just kill every ant in the colony except the two of them, ta-da! problem solved! and the first ant is like *horrified whisper* “what have I done”
This is the best explanation for higher powers I’ve ever really heard.
