Sometimes the scariest part of a horror game is watching someone build it.
There is something strangely fascinating about watching a horror game being developed.
Normally, we encounter a horror game when it is finished. The developers have polished the rough edges, fixed the bugs, added the atmosphere, carefully positioned the scares and—hopefully—made sure the monster doesn't occasionally get stuck halfway through a wall while doing the Macarena.
We see the finished nightmare.
But what happens when you get to watch the nightmare being created?
That is what makes following an indie horror game in development so interesting. Instead of simply waiting for the finished product to appear, you get to watch the individual pieces come together in real time.
And that can be almost as entertaining as playing the game itself.
