>>10515682hmmm same actually, but what do YOU mean? for me the huge skyboxes that made me feel tiny and insignificant played a role in it. and also the fact that literally anything could jump out at you from the fog of war. and the 3d minimap with the spherical sight range played a part. idk why but that just felt creepier and more isolated
anyway, cataclysm was a different kind of horror. it was like, "holy shit, we're the last noninfected in this map/system/sector and it's coming for us". from what i remember at least
