I’m convinced horror games are the best medium for horror. I love reading horror fiction and watching horror movies too. I just feel like when playing a good horror game, the player is “in the drivers seat”. I’m open to hearing other opinions though!

    No, psychological horror is based on psychological damage, not physical harm: domination, psychological trauma, diffuse fears like the unknown or the indefinable, things like doubting reality and one’s own sanity.

    Which dead space does…… and that’s what “affects the mind” means. Why did you think I meant just using it? Lmfao.

    Video lacks the context, but you’re doing the surgery on YOURSELF to figure out if you’re insane or if it’s the marker making you.

    That’s textbook psychological horror, there is of course other types, like HP and Stephen king as well.

      Sure, you show me a video without context and expect me to, I don’t know, make it up or something, and of course, since I don’t guess, it’s my fault for not realizing what you mean, but you don’t say, okay, see you next time

        Idk man, the video pretty much displays textbook psychological horror even without the context. You the user are experiencing the psychological trauma of experiencing it at a minimum.
