Finding Unique Scares in Modern Horror Games
I ended my last post on modern horror games by talking about how they should try and strive for more unique scares instead of following trends made by other popular games. And as you might have guessed by the title of this post, I want to follow up on that by providing some examples that…

In Defense of Fixed Camera Angles
Something that I feel always gets looked down on in games is fixed camera angles. The argument against them is usually that they are clunky or a thing of the past, which I can’t exactly say is wrong.
