Horror Games: Why We Play

[TheMask]

Horror games like Resident Evil or Outlast scare us yet keep us coming back. Fear mixed with curiosity creates an exciting experience. What do you enjoy more: atmospheric psychological horror or jump-scare survival horror?

I play horror games because I like to get scarred in a controlled environment. By playing horror games, people experience stimulating thrill of fear. They want to confront their fear.

Horror games tap into our curiosity and thrill-seeking side. The mix of fear, suspense, and survival makes the experience intense and unforgettable. I think many play them for the adrenaline rush and sense of achievement after overcoming terrifying challenges.

I play horror games because they give a unique mix of tension and excitement. The suspense, unexpected scares, and eerie atmospheres create a thrill that other genres rarely deliver. It’s less about fear and more about testing your nerves and problem-solving under pressure.
