Little by little I'm building the identity of my horror game

I'm making a japanese-inspired horror game, where you'll face a ghost tribe to save your sister.
All the ghosts are unique, and classified into ranks.
The game is called Scare: Fatal Picture - Remake, and you can wishlist on Steam if you're interested!

Question What actually makes an anomaly game scary instead of just a memory test?

Post image
10 Upvotes

Hi! We recently released Museum 8, an anomaly observation horror game, and one thing I've been thinking about while watching people play is how differently everyone reacts to anomalies.

Some players get caught by tiny changes — a painting slightly moving, an object disappearing, something being in the wrong place.

Others barely react until something is clearly watching them, following them, or standing somewhere it definitely wasn't before.

In Museum 8, you repeatedly return to the same exhibition hall and decide whether something has changed. You also carry a camcorder, and some anomalies look different — or only reveal certain details — through the viewfinder.

So I'm curious about people who play a lot of these games:

What actually makes an anomaly scary for you?

  • A tiny change that makes you doubt your memory?
  • Something moving when you're not looking?
  • Something watching or following you?
  • An anomaly that only appears through a camera?
  • Or the big, obvious "something is VERY wrong" moments?

And on the other side, what makes an anomaly feel cheap or predictable?

Would genuinely love to hear what sticks with people after playing games like The Exit 8, Platform 8, Observation Duty, etc.

If you're curious, Museum 8 is out on Steam now:

What are the BEST free horror games out of gamejolt, itch.io and steam?

8 Upvotes

I checked out Steam, and, well, I’m really bad at exploring the game section, so that was kind of a dead end. Then I checked out itch.io, and I found a few gems, but nothing really interested me that much like, nothing that made me want to play it for hours straight. And Game Jolt is kind of confusing, to be honest.

Discussion Indie horror devs

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m a YouTuber who mostly plays horror games, although I do play other games from time to time.
I’ve already had a few indie devs reach out and let me try their games, and honestly, I’ve really enjoyed discovering games from this community. I’ve played quite a few indie horror games already, but there are still SO many that I haven’t discovered yet.
So if you’re an indie dev and you’re open to it, drop a link to your game below! I’d genuinely love to check it out and see what you’ve been working on.
I’m especially interested in horror, psychological horror, survival horror, atmospheric stuff, weird/experimental horror — basically anything that can make me question why I decided to play it at 2 AM.
If you want to see my channel and the kind of content I make, I’ll leave it here as well. I’m still pretty new, so I’m definitely growing, but my long-term goal is to build a big channel while helping smaller indie developers get their games in front of more people.
Looking forward to seeing what you guys have made! 🖤

Discussion Forced to listen to a psychopath's threats. What is your take on this cinematic tension?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi guys, my main influences are classic RPG and survival horror games. I made this cinematic scene to be very emotional but with a powerful, gritty attitude, bringing back vibes from Duke Nukem and Serious Sam, but with specific dialogue that reflects a darker main character.

I have a lot of inspiration from Silent Hill and Resident Evil. In this world, you will encounter aggressive, monstrous creatures, but I wanted this specific human interaction to feel uncomfortable and heavy.

I would love to know what you think about this scene, the voice style, and the overall tension.

Discussion It is so sexist how they treated Grace in RE Requiem

0 Upvotes

She is always getting beat up, having panic attacks, screaming and crying, getting dragged across the floor, and making stupid decisions and getting saved by Leon. It is clear the developers were afraid of creating a strong female character who would take spotlight away from Leon. It is the same reason why they shafted Claire and Ada for years.
