I only used my flashlight when necessary and for as little time as possible before carefully progressing through hostile territory. You can use your flashlight to help you inspect your surroundings but if an enemy sees the light, they will become suspicious and alerted to the area which is indicated by an amber colour coming from the enemy. The majority of Sanity of Morris is spent in stealth as you find clues your dad has left you along the way. If you are seen at any point, you cannot defend yourself or escape being caught.
Great stealth element | Creeping around obstacles in multiple areas to avoid being spotted while completing objectives is imperative in Sanity of Morris.I mean, that is the whole point and Sanity of Morris did this very well. You can’t really have a good horror game without feeling scared. There are sound effects that I thought were rather random and with that succeeded with the intended fear effect. When I was being chased, the music intensified to indicate that I was in danger, and knowing I couldn’t outrun or escape made me panic even more. Intense music and sound effects | I would be lying if I said there weren’t multiple times when I felt my heart jump in fear and yes, I loved every second of that feeling.
In my opinion, this is exactly how horror games should feel as you should never feel safe. Whether it be the general vicinity being gloomy and quiet or having to manoeuvre past enemies walking around, I find there aren’t many moments when you can relax and just when I thought I could, I found myself caught off guard. There is no doubt that Sanity of Morris has portrayed a tense feeling throughout the entire game that made me wary of my surroundings constantly.
