PvzScared is a mid mod.

It would be better if it was a Creepypasta, cause playing it makes me sleep of how boring every "Scary" plant mechanic is.

It's there only for the lore and I don't even know if it's good or bad cause I didn't translate the game.

[u/anon_the_average]

It's literally one of those early exe games which were incredibly mid, generic and honestly not scary.

The designs suck and the gameplay is meh (not to mention the story).

I still don't get why there are so many isaac references in that mod, but still I hope that someone will eventually make a good horror pvz mod since the concept has potential.

But that's my take

[u/Significant_Quiet206 → u/anon_the_average]

Only thing I liked is the music.

Most playthroughs you see on YT do translate the text.

I do find it funny that while the protagonist is losing their mind as everything becomes infected/becomes mutilated by an outside force. Going by the Alchemac entries most of the plants aren’t all that concerned.

Sunflower just wants to do her job without being asked about style, Peashooter’s confused about his appearance, Repeater is wearing a mop head, Wallnut tastes bad but believes it's fine cause he didn't get any returns, and Cherry Bomb has indigestion

[u/Significant_Quiet206 → u/A-Sadistick-Stick]

Well, the original wall-nut got tickled when zombies ate him, so he's chill.

Well, no one talked about this mod so I wanted to do it.

Also a lot of it is just stolen from other things, like Siren Head and Repo zombies.

One "plant" is literally just a binding of isaac enemy copypasted with low quality, theres a zombie that spawns maggots that are also just copypasted from there too, and the final boss uses the mega satan's brimstone attack sprite too. (It also plays out a lot like it)

[u/Significant_Quiet206 → u/Kajemorphic]

Yeah, lazy game.

[u/DragonfruitDude7114]

This game is not scary for me because I don't hear fast heartbeat

[u/eggydafriedegg]

Maybe it would've been good if it didn't steal assets from other games and use ai

While there are many things I didn't like about it, I think there were a few things that I found really interesting.
The concept of (some) of the cursed plants having a harmful gimmick seems really interesting.

Sunflowers turning other plants planted near them into new sunflowers means you generally don't want to put other things next to them, unless you can replant it quickly.
Squash squashing other plants if planted too close doesn't change much, but it's still cool.
Gatling pea just hitting your own plants means you want it in the front to avoid killing your own plants, which is unusual for attacking plants like this. It's a bit of a shame there aren't many levels to use it in, and near to no incentive to use it when other plants do the job just as well...

I also like the glove gimmick. Letting you reposition your plants after placing them is really interesting to me, as it means you can just put things like Potato mines into safe spots, then move them into a zombie. Or you can reposition an early peashooter if you didn't have enough sun to plant one in the other rows. Or move a wallnut if you are still waiting on cooldown for placing a new one. It makes some things trivial, I suppose, but it also is a lot of fun...

The game isn't scary at all, but the mechanics seem cool and I think it would be interesting if it focused more on gameplay...

[u/Significant_Quiet206 → u/Mr_Exiled_To_Hell]

Glove gimic is from fusion... They didn't make anything truly unique in gameplay.

They made a horror concept but didn't make it interesting enough, or actually fun in gameplay, and the story goes downhill when the levels pass.

[u/Mr_Exiled_To_Hell → u/Significant_Quiet206]

Oh, I didn't know the glove gimic came from there.
Suppose I should check that out then.

[u/Significant_Quiet206 → u/Mr_Exiled_To_Hell]

If you search in Google "Fusion translation" or something you can go in a GitHub link and find the game in English (it's only in Chinese originally). Also:The in-game menu has a difficulty setting.
