The Survival Horror tag refers to games that combine elements of survival and horror genres. These games typically emphasize a sense of fear, tension, and vulnerability in a dangerous or unsettling environment.

In Survival Horror games, players often assume the role of a protagonist who is faced with challenging and horrifying situations. The gameplay mechanics are designed to evoke feelings of anxiety and desperation as players must navigate through hostile environments while managing limited resources.

  • Vulnerable Protagonist The protagonist in a Survival Horror game is usually an ordinary person thrown into extraordinary circumstances. They are often ill-equipped for combat or lacking combat skills compared to the horrors they face, creating a sense of vulnerability.
