Summary
- Horror games often feature invincible villains that players must flee from, adding a challenging dimension to the game and highlighting the player character's helplessness.
- Jump scares, dramatic villains, and zombies are welcomed clichés, that have their place in horror games like Resident Evil and Silent Hill. as they serve as breaks in tension and keep players on their guard when used sparingly.
- Looking for a family member is an overly familiar premise in horror games, but it works because it is relatable and provides a reason for the protagonist to stay in their nightmarish situation.
