#it doesn’t technically classify as horror but also like. Portal and Portal 2 are reALLY good games I always recommend them

hello, in the tags of one of your lovely posts (about f/os who are clueless about your passions but are supportive anyways) you mentioned liking to watch breakdowns of horror games you've never played, and as someone who also enjoys stuff like that I was wondering if you had recommendations? or would like to use this ask to ramble about it? 👀

Oh!! Sure thing!! I’m not sure if you’re asking for recommendations of the games or the videos I watch on them so I’ll do a few of both ofjsofidjfjd, I don’t really get to talk about my love of horror games over here since I don’t have F/Os or S/Is (that I talk about) in those universes but I do love me some analyses lol

The most recent game I watched stuff on is Resident Evil Village, I’ll be honest I have not watched stuff on any of the other resident evil games but I caught myself up on the story that happened in 7 and then watched Village and it’s pretty solid, no I didn’t just watch it for Lady Dimitrescu even tho that definitely did raise my interest in the series of it. Some other games i’ve watch stuff on, playthroughs and analysis, thatve raised my interest lately were Bioshock, Subnautica (which is horror by association), Dark Deception, Little Nightmares 1&2 (HIGHLY RECOMMEND, I love LNs), Alice Madness returns, Sally face, Spooky‘s jumpscare mansion, which I’ll be honest I mostly like for the monsters in the monster categories because I think that it’s really creative and neat lol, and Mr Hopps playhouse (The second one just came out but I haven’t watched it yet so I can’t say anything about it but like it’s there 👀) there’s also games that are associated with Fnaf that I always jump on, fan games and games inspired by it are usually pretty good but that’s a whole other can of worms because I really do have a deep rooted love for anything Fnaf 

I would, if you’re going to look up any of those, highly recommend that you check trigger warnings and content warnings before actually starting them in any capacity because there’s definitely stuff that could make people uncomfortable as happens with the horror genre, so please just don’t go in COMPLETELY blind and protect yourself

I have a ton of other horror games that I enjoy but as opposed to just watching analyses on them I often play them myself and or have had obsessions with them such as Batim, Fnaf, Little nightmares (which is in both lists because I haven’t played it but. Dude. It’s good, definitely look up the warnings though) 

As for channels that I watch for explanations, SuperHorrorBro is kinda a go-to for me for explanations if I think I want to get into a game he’s covered or just get the gist of it, there is of course Game Theory, regardless of accurateness on theories, there’s also their sub-channel The Game Theorists which tends to have a bit more variety going on and is fun to just kind of keep an eye on if you’re looking for new content, and then if I get interested in something from there I’ll go down the rabbit hole of looking for creators were specifically doing videos on that game, whether it be breakthroughs, fun facts, Easter eggs, etc, thanks to me looking stuff up all the time sometimes I’ll randomly get breakdown videos recommended to me by YouTube from creators I don’t actively follow and then just watch them and Move on so unfortunately my variety ofcreator knowledge is pretty thin outside of these ones but they’re there and they work as a good stepping stone

I just have a deep rooted love for the Horror and Thriller genres and it tends to cross into my intense love for a story building and theorizing so I tend to get invested in finding out about the different worlds and stories even if I’m never going to actually play the game myself kfndkgnskfndk I also don’t know how long of an answer is too long so I’m gonna stop here but I really appreciate you asking so if do you want more recommendations of a specific flavor or just want to read me ramble on about stuff you can always feel free to ask me more :D
