Description

The Story:

(9/14)

Before they can rend the penultimate corpse, a factory whistle blows, preluding a fresh haul of carcasses that drops from a hole in the ceiling onto the grill before the beasts. More hisses. More howls. More fire. A terrible inferno. And the stench... the rancid fetor of burnt hair and skin so intrusive that it makes your stomach churn, as if infested by snakes and centipedes. But it aren't these giants that reign this place, for they too are collared and chained to the walls. They are merely the guardian pets of a worse fiend. The puppets of a malicious master. You figure that, since these hounds have no sense organs with which to see you, you can sneak past them to the next hallway. Common sense, unfortunately proven to be somewhat of a rarity in this place, but what other choice do you have? While the hounds gorge themselves with their revolting repast, you sidle along the far wall whisper-quietly, until you make it to the next hallway.

Leave this horrid room behind >

Game note:

Important! The gift is a pack that includes the DLC Reign of Giants!
I will add the winner on Steam to send him or her this gift.

Personal note:

Survival games are all the rage these days. Can't speak to their qualities since I don't own any of them myself, but I've heard that this one is right up there with the best of them. It's even gotten a new DLC-pack recently in which you can sail the high seas in search of your own undoing!

Question:

Have you ever had a very specific premonition or a reading or a horoscope that turned out to be completely true? Tell us about it.

I remember applying for my first proper post-school job at one late night. I think it was around ten in the evening when I spotted the ad and sent out my resume etc... I got a call from the boss the next morning around 9, asking me if I could come by later that day for an interview. We agreed on five in the afternoon. I went over, we had a chat and I was instantly accepted. I could start the very next day! As I left, I found a newspaper on the train back home, and eventually reached the horoscope section. There, it said something like "you have applied for a job and today you will get it" in those words! There was more that horoscope, it wasn't just about the job, and all of it was true for me. It was so surreal that I tore it out of the paper to show others. As an aside, I don't actually believe in such hoodoo.

Well, most of horoscopes are written in such a way so as to appeal to the broadest audience possible and therefore their content boils down mostly to very general things. It is quite easy to write a horoscope so general that a reader will find a fragment that fits. It is called "cold reading" if i'm not mistaken. Yours is quite extraordinary given all that.

I really don't believe in that but something happened to me you can say that turn out to be true. In Turkey we have Turkish coffee (which is pretty good i would recommend it who haven't tried) and when you finish you turn the cup let it cool then turn over and look for signs. That's pretty common in some places of Turkey so i went to one said to be pretty good. Althought she said a lot of things only one just caught my attetion later. She said you will be moving out from your house. I said yeah i am moving tomorrow but she said no i am not talking about that you will be moving out and i move out from my new house 1 month later. And it has a really funny story for an other time i guess. :D

Thanks for the giveaway!

I don't really read or believe in such things like horoscopes or faith healers etc etc. I've read quite a few horoscopes though when it presented itself, but never once really believed it nor found that it suited anything other then very general stuff. Like, today you will be very happy. But my ex-girlfriend once convinced me to try to go to some spiritual healer thingy that she'd went to, because she felt it could be useful for me to try and resolve some problems for me. This healer was about doing something to certain parts of my body, while she counted out louds how many months ago something happened in my life, and when she met resistance, she knew where abouts something important had happened. Back then it made a lot of sense to me, today, not so much. But I think that's the closest I come to anything like you're describing.

the horoscopes I use to read when I was younger were really vague, also I don't believe in them.
But I like those that tell me what kind of potatoe I am and such things XD

No specific premonition/reading/horoscope turned out to be completely true from my experience. This vid sums up what I think of them
