It's easy to dismiss the impact of these games as being nothing more than jumpscare fests meant to coerce the most viral reactions from creators, but the fact is that numerous titles in this genre don't rely on surprises to make their horror effective. Rather, it's the slow burn that fans of horror gaming love, lending to a sense of unease as players explore horrific environments and uncover the mysteries at the heart of these adventures.
