I've seen a lot of youtubers play Slender and SCP Containment Breach. The two games have ironical simalities that make a very good horror game.


1. Uncertainy. You never know where the enemy is.

2. (taken from Slender) Based on a mythical monster. Makes the game a lot more scary to play.

3. Enviroment. Both are dark and abanoned, and give the player a sense of uncertainy.

4. There is nothing that can distract the player from the game (i.e saves, this is what messed up cry of fear)

5. Randomness. Nothing is scripted as a storyline.

6. A.I. You can never have an advantage over the monster.

7. Realism. Add realistic effects, such as blinking, breathing, and noise making. Like in DayZ.

8. No hope. Don't put hopeful signs in view of the player.

9. Ambience. Keep music to a minimum, but SFX loud.

10. Innovation. Don't make a zombie game or haunted house. Do something new.





Thank for reading this! Put any other horror game techniques in the replies.
