Horror Games

I'd like to honestly play a lot of horror genre games. The worst part is that these games somehow get into my head. Yes, I know that they are fictional, created by a studio of talented programmers and writers and artists, and have been made purposely to freak people out while providing a hopefully satisfying and relatable adventure/experience.

I just can't mentally deal with some of it. Dead Space, this stupid weird pixel game called Claire, even things not so graphically intense like Deadwood, or something like Soma. I just can't handle games like that. Nevermind Fatal Frame or Silent Hill. It's just not in my DNA to hammer through games like that... and to many, those games are actually fun, being scared is a fun time.

Not for me, my heart starts to struggle with some of this stuff. Jump scares are the worst of it, especially in games or media you don't expect them to be.

I can say that with full confidence that I will never play Outlast one or two, Amnesia, the Forest, or any game like that.

Other games like The Last of Us (screw the leaks and keep away from social media if you can), do have horror elements, but the narrative really drives me, and the monsters are more of a secondary threat.

Maybe I'll become more courageous soon, but I can't risk a heart complication in these times. Hospitals are basically nesting grounds for this still looming COVID garbage.

Stay safe, I'll be playing Sakura Wars.
