Every so often I think about feedback I've gotten about how my works feel like horror. And I'm like. I'm not opposing it really but lmao I didn't even try to make it feel horror. Maybe it's bc i have terrible anxiety and that Big Underlying Fear just leaks into my games. Or I just lean hard into the Big Underlying Fear, but idk if thsr constitutes as horror. Who knows.
And then I wonder man, what if I actually tried to make a horror game? Like actually put effort into making sure the script can be called horror? Maybe one day when I have spoons for Spooktober next year since currently my minds been fixated on stuff I need to finish
EDIT: I think the reason why I'm having trouble calling most of my works horror is because I have a vision for what Is horror and what constitutes a horror vn and none of the stuff I made is within that vision. Then again, I tend to err from horror media mainly because I don't like how abelist the genre can be and how a lot of creators use jumpscares to scare and show off a scary spooky monster instead of tell a story.
