#4 Play Something Made by a Small Indie Developer
Now go smaller.
Really small.
Look for horror games made by solo developers or tiny teams.
This is where you start finding the genuinely strange stuff.
Game-jam horror.
Free experimental games.
Short psychological experiences.
Retro-style projects.
Games made by somebody who apparently decided:
“I have no budget, no publisher and no marketing department. Let's make a nightmare.”
And sometimes those projects are incredible.
The beauty of indie horror is that developers can experiment with ideas that might never survive a giant publisher's meeting room.
So don't judge a horror game solely by its graphics.
A blocky monster in a dark corridor can be considerably scarier than a $200 million CGI creature.
