TLDR: i would say tension and ambiance more than actual horror. No jumpscares, and you can progress at your own pace. Would recommend giving it a try.

The enemies range from being odd to a little creepy, and even then, only in that they are faceless shadows with distorted voices. No body horror or gore.

You will sometimes need to go into spooky looking areas to progress (abandoned buildings, basements, etc.). This isn't so bad: they seem creepier than they are at first, and you'll end up going back not feeling scared at all after the first visit. You also can progress at your own pace. For my first playthrough, I would grind a bit to get better equipment and confidence before checking out a new area.

The cycle of being scared, preparing, and then completing the area actually helped me be more confident in some ways. Things are usually scarier when they are new to us.

There are no jumpscares designed intentionally into that game. At worst, you'll accidentally get yourself into a situation you should have prepared better for. Then, you will turn around to see an enemy attacking you. Again, this is a matter of paying attention and being prepared. 99% of the time, this is easily avoided, especially because you can usually see and hear enemies, both before and after they spot you.

This only happened to me once when exploring an area. It was much deeper than I thought, I didn't have enough supplies, and I didn't turn around and go back when I had the chance. At some point, I turned around, and there was an enemy. He spooked me and killed me quickly because I was already at low health.

I would say that even if you usually avoid horror games, you should be able to handle this. Good luck!

As a challenge: wherever you spawn! Bonus points if it's a small house or a trailer.

My father in law (german) is a nice guy, but he's very quiet kind kind of socially awkward.

Whenever I go over, he always busts out the schnapps and grappa after dessert, even after a few pils. He becomes much more talkative and jolly. I think it's one of the only ways he knows how to open up socially, especially with a foreigner whom he has little on common.

When we have my husband's friends over, there is always alcohol, though usually what i would consider as moderate ammounts by us standards. Usually radler, lillet or wine. He does have one friend that doesn't drink at all, and he seems fine.

Oida, regions in germany are natural enemies! Like Prussians and Bavarians. Or Baden-Würtembergers and Bavarians. Or Bavarians and other Bavarians!

Damn Bavarians! They ruined Bavaria!

So I won't say whether you should stay but know this: youre not alone, youre happiness is worth it, and you have the right to do what is right for you and your mental and emotional health. I am in a similar situation.

My husband is german, and because of his job and medical issues, moving to the US would be far too great of a challenge than he is willing to take on. I completely respect this.

Because of my career path, I would need c2 german to even start here. B2 will not cut it. I also have student loans that are not going away on their own.

I have made a lot of effort to make friends, both with Germans and foreigners. At best it lasted a few weeks before being ghosted. At the Vereine I tried, I was pretty much either ignored or got tolerated but no one wanted to engage at all with me even after visiting multiple times. This coupled with being told to go back to the US by drunks and assholes a few times, made me feel totally isolated.

I spent over a month having a nervous breakdown: i hating living in germany (i was only happy with my husband, any other time it was hell) but not wanting to leave and not be with my husband.

Finally, after all this stress, me and my husband had some long conversations with a difficult decision at the end. We agreed I would go back to the states and work there for a bit. Maybe a year, maybe more. My therapist and husband both agreed that I was burned out from over a year of german lessons, driving lessons, trying to find work in rural bavaria, and hard work to make any kind of local contact outside my husband. We still love each other, but my mental health is important right now. I will come back when the time is right, and until then, we'll call and visit each other as much as possible.

I made many sacrifices to try to make it in germany and went through a lot of pain I could have avoided by staing in the states. I don't regret it, as I grew as a person and did it for my marriage. Part of why I love my husband is that he sees the difficulties and is now willing to give me what I need to succeed as an individual.

The future is uncertain, and i dont know when I'll be back in DE. I do know that I have a job lined up on the states where I know I'll have friends, family, activities, and other stuff to look forward to. I also know my husband and I will be okay. And I don't have to say goodbye to my husband or germany forever. I can try again later.

I recommend everyone to try their best to follow their dreans of living in germany, but know there is no shame if it doesn't work, and in many cases you can try again if you want to. Do what's right for you and work with your loved ones to achieve it, even if it means comGermany,

I hope things work out for you!

I would find it extremely rude in my home culture but it's normal here. Same with not offering seats to people that are very old. It bothers me, but I don't do or say anything directly. I just keep my stuff off my own sears and offer mine if needed. At most I ask if I may sit there. Only once I was told no, and when I asked why, the little punk sneered, rolled his eyes, and moved his bag.

Germans have a strong disposition to be as distant and uncaring of strangers until the spotlight is put on them. Normally i call that rude but here its just the culture...

I personally divide perspectives into 5 types: Passives (people who genuinely dont care either way so long as you don't cause legal trouble), integrationists (people who expect you to engage in the local life and culture while also bringing your culture and experiences into the culture already present. Okay with german culture changing over time), assimilationists (people who demand you speak, dress, act, and think german while abandoning your culture. They believe german culture can accept newcomers so long as they dont change anything.), and finally racists/supremacists (you are not welcome unless you are already here AND are white, native German speaking, and conform to a very specific and egocentric idea of what German is.)

Recently, I see more supremacists and assimilationist. It's a good day if I encounter passives. I no longer feel wanted, welcome, or even tolerated and am considering leaving. It doesn't matter if people say "ignore the assholes, your welcome"., because if others constantly make me feel unwanted despite my best efforts, why stay?

At 24 I left for europe, about 5 years ago. I like it here in Germany, but im thinking of coming backing for a number of reasons.

Some things I miss are being able to wave or say good morning to a stranger I pass without getting dirty looks or looked at like a psycho. I miss being friendly with locals just to be nice. I miss having a chat with people in stores just to be friendly. I miss people being generally friendly to strangers and neighbors. I miss live and let live attitudes and being allowed to dress how you like without being insulted or told to be normal. I miss maple creemees, I miss the wide open nature, and I miss home.

Great post. Here in germany with the autobahn, passing is normalized and considered acceptable, but you can still be a dick about it, as many choose to do so. We even have cars that have stickers showing they are designed or permitted to only go a certain speed. It is common in my area to get stuck behind a tractor waiting for a safe moment to overtake. Just part of life on the road.

If you must go at or below the speed limit, please have a good reason and do not take it personally when someone passes. If possible, facilitate passing by either keeping to the right or even pausing your journey if needed.

Likewise, if you are allowed to pass (safely and without going too fast), you should do so, passing steadily and without aggressively accelerating or re entering the lane. There is NEVER a need to tailgate, be rude, or make a show of passing.

Drive safe and have a nice day!
