      ​​@sorenisimo Can you make a video about why we love survival Games so much from your own perspective. This is my viewpoint of what a survival horror game is it's an adventure game A mystery game a survival game A resource management game Exploring game A walking simulator game Puzzle game they all fit well into survival horror.

      And thus all that remains of analog TV now; even the low-power stations were forced off the air by July 13, 2021, and the full-power stations were forced off the air by June 12, 2009.

    I wonder if FNaF (at least, the original trilogy) counts as interface horror because of it's emphasis on the dated camera tech being your only consistent method of interacting with the world.

    Such a chill vid bro. Inspiring my creativeness.
    I think genres are always just getting started as long as there’s one person out there plotting. Introducing new modalities is finding treasure that hasn’t been dug.
    What interests me most about the genre is that it fully leans into it’s limited nature and pushes the envelope. Finding how much with less and less.

    • @sorbino_
      @sorbino_  2 роки тому +4

      well said-less is almost always more! i think the deceptive simplicity of analog horror (and found footage more broadly) accounts for a lot of the appeal. almost feels like a campfire story
      thanks for the comment, happy to be of inspiration to ya(:

    Really fascinating concept, and intriguing games. As someone who has so far lived more of their life in the 20th century than the 21st, and remembering older games that looked so pixellated unironically, talking about the temporal distance back to analog technology really breaks my brain...

    Will you look into other kinds of horror that revolves around an interface?
    The job horror, but one where you operate a complex machine under pressure- for got the name of the game, but there is one where you try to escape the bunker by drilling out of it and whole game is about operating the jury-rigged "Payday Drill".
    And well... I wanna hear your take on Ymes

    7:20 Ah yes, the ol "IT WAS ALL A DREAMMMMM" surprise reveal in a video game narrative.
    Something about that trope happening in video games as opposed to other media is really infuriating in how it invalidates all the time you put into playing the game, and cuts back on it's replay value. 😬😬😬

    Great Video. The idea that interface horror speaks to the act of playing game themselves is really interesting , especially your idea of intrusion. I had never thought of this as a sub genre, and now i think its impossible to separate interface from video game horror in general lol

      thanks for the comment! i'd love to find some horror games that actively distort their UI to play up the horror. off the top of my head, the only example of a game messing with its UI is like, when asgore nukes the mercy button in undertale lol
