Why Indie Horror Games Are So Unsettling

What is it about indie horror that big budget games can't touch? This is the full story — from how the genre came to be, to the liminal spaces and cosy dread that make it so uniquely unsettling, to the games that are quietly doing some of the most interesting things in horror right now. We're covering everything: the history of indie horror, what jump scares actually do when they're earned, liminal spaces, and six games that each do something the others don't — Fears to Fathom, Missing Hiker, Cry of Fear, Terpenie, It Happened at Night, and Gas Station Case.
