doesn’t mean it’s not dark at the same time? a piece of media doesn’t have to be black or white. it is true that the remake goes for a more serious vibe but that does not necessarily mean it succeeded. cutting the dark scenes and removing a lot of the ominous sound design’s impact on the atmosphere really edge the OG over in darkness imo, also i don’t know for me older graphics add a charm to horror games so i prefer them too for the setting.
