Only genre where horror works is visual novel. You can't deny that.

>fixing modern horror by making the big-bad a qt and something I want to use as a body pillow
I mean its worth a shot. I certainly won't stop anyone from trying. At the very least, even if its not scary its cute so that's always a good thing.

Avoid revealing the entire monster model to the player. Do not let the player interact with the monster model or view it from multiple angles. Never, ever let them see the entire thing in motion. Your model is much less scary than what they think your model is. The moment they see the real thing in good lighting as it shambles around the room at a speed that is designed for gameplay balance, they will think it is stupid. Because it is. Try to hide this from them as long as you can.

The suspense from horror comes from the unknown. Things like fleeing from an enemy you understand perfectly by kiting it around a room and abusing bad path finding are not horror, they are a chore. You should be constantly changing the rules on the player, and not allowing them to settle in enough to look for holes in the design.

Finally: do not allow the player to do things. Stop. One of the best horror games of the 3D age is king kong. This is not because the game is particularly scary. It is because the human campaign is terribly balanced with extremely limited and undercooked mechanics and barely enough resources to beat each level. The tension from being unable to do anything is terrifying, and the game is fantastic horror for it.

More gimmicks. I think horror has stagnated and gotten boring so there needs to be more games that experiment more and I don't mean visually. I mean basing the entire game around something that's rarely been done or done in an unconventional way.

I once saw a horror short that was part of a anthology series about a African murder doll with sharp teeth that screamed and relentlessly chased a woman around with a knife.

I think the terror of something that's hard to kill chasing you eternally isn't properly utilized, as that shit put the fear of dolls in me for a long time.

>Immediately feel like I'm being stared at from a million directions
>Back of my neck gets this wierd feeling; like pop-rock candy going off in your mouth
>Immediately U-Turn and proceed to the next floor

I don't even want to imagine buying one of these God-forsaken things, much less sleeping in the same room as one.

Bring back Dead Space and Alien Isolation, nothing else you can do

It's fun reading a horror manga where the best deaths happen in the first couple chapters.
