I’m convinced horror games are the best medium for horror. I love reading horror fiction and watching horror movies too. I just feel like when playing a good horror game, the player is “in the drivers seat”. I’m open to hearing other opinions though!
The problem with horror games is that it depends on the GM and other players.
To be even more radical, I played an amazing horror larp, but it could have failed dramatically if a single player started to laugh, even if it was to release tension
