Great Horror Games Can Scare You No Matter Where The Camera Is

Concept art from Darkwood. What’s the greatest horror game of all time? I’m willing to bet that your choice was a game with a first-person, or at least tightly-cropped, perspective. Horror relies on immersion to be effective, and a P.O.V. that puts you in the action will often enhance the experience. A new game from Polish development studio Acid Wizard called Darkwood is one of a recent batch of indie horror games that shows even unusual perspectives and simplified graphics can deliver big scares . Darkwood , which I backed on Indiegogo back in 2013, puts you above the fray with a top-down perspective.
