Garry's mod was my first steam purchase and one that ended up sticking with me for life... mainly because I found it so damn unsettling and eerie, that I felt like I was living in a real life creepypasta!
But why is gmod creepy? Why is gmod so unsettling? Well today I'm taking a look at the Source Engine and how it creates liminal spaces that inspired internet classics such as 'The Backrooms Found Footage'. I wanted to figure out what it is about Source Engine games like Gmod, Portal, Half-life and The Stanley Parable that makes them so disturbing to play!
Get ready to experience The existential dread of The Source Engine!
