There are a lot of horror game tropes I hate, like:

Jump scares

Cliche monster designs such as mutilated human, ghost woman, singing/giggling little girl, and worst of all, asylum inmate :cringe:

Having 'insanity' as a game mechanic

I also hate when horror games basically screams at you to "Be scared now!!!1!" including things like:

Player character breathing heavily when they see something you're supposed to scared of.

Camera effects such as shaky cam, blurry cam, blood on camera or 'insanity vision'.

A monster screaming in your face

A loud jumpscare music sting

Now, I know what you're thinking, "Dirt_Owl, do you even like horror games at all then?"

The answer is no. No I do not.
