Cliffy B: Nobody buys horror games

February 13, 2013 at 3:00 pm | 26 Comments



Dead Space and Resident Evil have both completed their transformations from survival horror to all-out-action romps. Silent Hill is quickly becoming a forgotten memory and Alone in the Dark is best left exactly there. It’s becoming increasingly difficult to find “horror” games in the AAA retail space. the last one I played and actually loved was ZombiU – but that was more “tense” as opposed to scary. Gears of War Designer Clifford Bleszinski says that’s because nobody buys scary games.

An indie horror game, Eriehas released on Desura and is absolutely free and definitely won’t be played by me due to it being way too scary and I’m a complete baby when it comes to horror games. BUT I suspect that it will be enjoyed by horror game fans across the globe.
