a truly brilliant horror game..as near to the first alien movie.you will ever get!.

"The alien is a terrifying unstoppable threat"

The pause

The pause is such a common move associated with this game, it should be a recognised action button in the menu! To reduce risk of heart attack and spikes in BP press pause!

"You are becoming hysterical"

game developers, take note. the best way to create a terrfying game is not just to remove weapons like in outlast, or make menus real time like in dead space, or reading computer terminal entries real time like in soma, but also to disable the pause button when in close proximity to the enemy.

The pause and the little time you needed to properly deal with the heart attack you just had, its perfect

YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE

Even just spectating, my only thought was "you've gotta be f*cking kidding me."

I didn’t even know that there was a vent there. There goes my blissful ignorance.

If I don't unpause he can't kill me.

Someone make a mod where the alien starts reaching for the Resume button on your screen.

When you have to pause and mentally prepare yourself for what’s about to happen. Been there.

Pause button also releases your bowels

The standard pause to check your underwear

Xeno just dropped in to say hello.

in the next game they shouldn't let you pause after the alien has spotted you up until you feel his inner jaw or break line of sight

Ah yes, the pause just before your death knowing you cannot do a single thing to save yourself.

at 0:03 that would be an issue for anyone
