    Hello family members Smile ,
    I'm really into horror games (like Outlast, Soma or The Evil Within).

    I'm wondering whether you like horror games or not.
    I'm looking forward to your replies.

    Best wishes,
    Emmy

    Hey Emmy,

    I remember my first horror game was called F.E.A.R. on the PC and that had more than a few jump scares as well as ramping up the Creep factor by having a faceless six year old girl in a red dress randomly appear as you were panning the view around. When you looked back, she wasn't there leaving you to think that you'd hallucinated it.

    Nowadays, I prefer the psychological horror rather than jump scares and gore. If a game can build unease and tension to the point that you're afraid to open a door or go into the ruins, it's a winner in my book. I suppose it comes from being an HP Lovecraft fan and long time Call of Cthulhu role player.
