/v/, how would one make the ultimate horror game? A game so terrifying in every way that people piss themselves while playing it.

Also, protip to all you aspiring horror game programmers. Start off the video game loading screen with "This was fished out from the deep web." 90% of normies will start crying right then and there.

I liked Corpse Parties building suspense and dread until it got to animey.

Sure as fuck not like that. Horror games need the proper atmosphere to be scary.

The ultimate horror game contains a single one-way ticket to the middle of Detroit.

Dark claustrophobic environments.
Sound effects that don't stop, even when you "pause" the game.
Discordant ambient music.
Constant sound of scratching on walls or something coming from "the other room" that gets louder and stops as soon as you walk by it.

In other words: Silent Hill 1/3.

To the middle of Detroit? It will look like any other city. It's the poor neighborhoods on the outskirts that are mostly empty. Even then, I'm not sure why boarded up houses would be that scary.

Someone already tried that with their terrible art game, it was cringey as fuck.

Because normalfags think that the Deep Web is the fucking Shadow Realm or something

Horror has turned into "hide from le scary monster!!!!!" with no real objective or purpose. Its dead and gone. Last good horror game to come out was Isolation

Anon, are you sure that these "normalfags" aren't just some abstract strawman that you made up in order to feel superior to other people?

At least it had objectives, a decently written story and multiple ways to evade your enemies through the use of different routes and items
