The places, events, and threats of a horror story, be they gore-filled rooms, shadow-lurking monsters, or awful revelations, are meant to build tension and push main characters to the limits of both body and mind, culminating in a moment where they undergo dramatic personal transformations in order to survive/defeat the horror, or succumb to their flaws and suffer a final, terrible fate. Newer horror games like Dread Hunger, however, are challenging this formula with co-operative game modes that test the teamwork, trust, resolve, and resilience of players, proving the truth of the old maxim: " Hell is other people."Įvery horror story, whether it's a blockbuster movies or pulse-pounding video game, is a crucible that tests both their protagonists and the viewers who identify with said protagonists.
Many iconic survival horror video games like Silent Hill 2, Amnesia: The Dark Descent, and Outlast generate terror by isolating their player and forcing their character to endure nightmarish perils essentially by themselves.
