The Quiet Before the Terror: How Horror Games Build Tension Script
0🕯️ The Quiet Before the Terror: How Horror Games Build Tension
What if the scariest part of a horror game… was the silence?
In this deep dive, we break down how fear doesn’t start with blood or monsters—it begins in the stillness. From psychological dread to cinematic sleight of hand, we’ll explore how horror games—and films like Halloween 4—trap players in moments of unbearable anticipation.
We’ll look at physical vulnerability in Haunting Ground, existential dread in SCP: Containment Breach, fractured perception in Layers of Fear, and the suffocating design of White Day. This isn’t just a lesson in fear—it's a study of control, restraint, and the art of letting the horror breathe.
🔻 Let the silence speak. Let the tension build. And see what happens before the terror begins.
