Horror Games: An Ironic Beauty | An Analysis on the Horror Game Genre
Greetings! This video essay is a general analysis of the Horror Game genre. Using multiple Horror games ranging from many settings, we'll be looking at how they change and play mind games on the player. I'll provide the list of games I've played over the last 2 years while making this video as well. As stated at the end of the video, I want to try to make more videos like this focusing on certain games individually to look into their narrative story-telling whether that's through dialogue, design, sound, etc. Let me know what you think!
