Survival Horror Video Games

Survival horror video games are a subgenre that emphasizes tension, fear, and resource management. Players typically control characters in frightening, often abandoned environments filled with enemies or threats. The goal is to survive while solving puzzles, finding limited supplies, and evading or confronting monsters. These games aim to create a sense of dread and vulnerability, often featuring dark atmospheres, unsettling music, and dramatic storytelling. Examples include classics like "Resident Evil" and "Silent Hill." Their appeal lies in the adrenaline rush and psychological engagement they evoke, pushing players to confront their fears in a controlled, fictional setting.
