MONSTERS OF THE WEEK: Hellnight/Dark Messiah When Survival Horror was on the rise after Resident Evil’s meteoric rise, a ton of (especially Japanese) game companies came up with their own take on the emerging horror sub-genre, with many trying to impart their own twist and flavor on the formula. Atlus (yes, the SMT/Persona guys) also tried their hand at it with the wonderfully experimental subterranean horror-adventure Hellnight (known as Dark Messiah in Japan). It came out in 1998 in Japan for the PS1 and was only released in a few European countries in a translated version in December 1999, with few copies and fewer game journalists grasping what this game attempted to do - resulting in abysmal review scores and Atlus ultimately dropping Survival Horror for good. Which is a damn shame, because Hellnight was highly inventive, pioneering many mechanics that have become tried and true staples in survival horror gaming. A prime example for a game that was far ahead of its time... or rather pearls before swine. **Support the Channel** http://patreon.com/RagnarRoxShow Chapters 00:00 Intro 03:18 Part 1: Pearls Before Swine 07:06 Sponsor 08:58 Part 2: Welcome to The Mesh 16:33 Part 3: TOP 5 REASONS HELLNIGHT WAS TOTALLY AHEAD OF ITS TIME 23:06 Epilogue: Atlus was onto something here 28:43 Thank you & Credits __ Thanks for additional Footage Recording: Mira Cox @Snaping Snapper
