Subtle supernatural horror is my fucking favorite.
It doesn’t spoon feed you the scare, it doesn’t cheaply jump scare you like you’re a fucking toddler incapable of understanding danger like most low quality films and lazy video games do.
It simply brings into your realization a certain primal fear that something isn’t right, and you can’t explain why.
It’s unsettling because you don’t know for sure if you’re going to immediately die, which makes it even more frightening.
It’s called uncanny.
What are some good games like that? I’m not a big fan of the jump scare horror games, so I tend to ignore most horror games on principle, but the genre is still fun when I find a gem.
Now don’t look at the lamp next to your sofa too closely.

Huh, never saw this one but in high school I had a dream just like this. I met a beautiful woman, perfect in every way, we got married had some kids, I even got some ways into middle age. Then, I was sitting in chair and noticed that my vision seemed… blurry at the edges, in a very “vignette filter” kind of way and I immediately knew I was dreaming. Woke up just as the existential collapse started. For several years after I’d try to remember her face, what our love had felt like, any of the details that had seemed so solid and tantalizing real for those few sleeping hours.
In retrospect, a lot like that Rick and Morty episode with the life simulator game. I wonder if one of the writers ever had that dream too? Brains are weird, and I haven’t any dreams nearly that all encompassing since.
