How do the people behind some of our favourite frightfests come up with ways to keep players scared?
Resident Evil 4 Remake and Dead Space are among the top sellers this year, in a crowded field for quality titles.
He says horror games typically utilise "the notion of being powerless" to ramp up fear, limiting the players' abilities and giving them "no way to fight back". Creative director Tom Heaton tells Newsbeat the experience, starring motion-captured actors, feels more like watching a film, but with a branching, choose-your-own-adventure narrative.
Once they've made adjustments, Tom says they "try to find someone else to try it for the first time rather than the same staff member replaying it".Developers have leant more into multiplayer horror since the dawn of the genre, especially as it's such a huge hit with streamers. In single player, Philippe explains that jump-scares work a bit like a "Jack-in-the-box" planted at a certain point in a level to trigger when a player gets close.
Supermassive revealed earlier this year that it's working on a game based on Dead by Daylight, the popular horror multiplayer game.
