Manufacturing Fear: The Importance of Atmosphere in Horror
Horror games have been filling my library more and more over the past year and, over the course of this time, I've began to notice something. Not all horror games are created equal. Some are more outwardly scary than others, such as the Amnesia or Outlast games; others are more subtle with this, however. Games such as Silent Hill, Dead Space, and indie hits such as Anatomy by Kitty Horrorshow and The Exit 8 build their games in ways that don't jump out at you. Instead, they create environments that fill your mind with fear, allowing the player to build the tension themselves.
Thank you for watching!
