2023 has been an incredible year for games, but one of the more interesting aspects is how many successful horror games we've seen as of late. Just a few years ago, major franchises in the genre, such as Resident Evil and Dead Space, took a nosedive critically, only to be resurrected with successful remakes and sequels. To delve deeper into the topic, I (Dustin) invited horror YouTuber Jimmy Champane and Gene Park of the Washington Post to discuss. I also addressed your questions and comments on Patreon to frame the conversation. What is our history with the genre? What are our pet peeves in horror games? Will Kojima ever return to a Silent Hills-style game? Turn off the lights, put on headphones, and enjoy!
