What is a horror, or What does the Meincraft have to do with it?

Many computer users like to play different games. True, not everyone is ready to admit to himself this. Today we will talk about what horror is, and why they occupy one of the leading places among all genres of games.

We are so ...

So before we talk about games, let's even think about what the word "horror" means. To do this, slightly deviate from the topic.

Well, in order to understand what horror is, let's talk about what is now attracting the public. And in general, that at all times attracted people to this or that place / object / film. Of course, these are emotions and sensations. Experience, joy, sadness, mysticism and .... fear.

Strange as it may sound, but to answer the question "What is a horror?" It will help to fear. After all, in the translation from English Horror - this is fear. Thus, if you think about it, it is he who attracts a person to himself. All this is because people in real life do not have enough adrenaline. But in order to remain safe and simultaneously experience it, it was necessary to come up with some kind of remedy. And it was invented - it's horror movies. They still attract crowds to the people. Our body played a cruel joke with us - we feel fear, staying safe, and we like it. Therefore, the creators of games began to produce more and more "horror movies" or "horror."

What are they?

Now you should talk about what horror games can be found in different corners of shops and on the Internet. In addition, you can consider several of them to understand what real gaming fear is.

The first horror games are survival-war. In them you have to run away from enemies, kill, trying to survive in every way, set traps and conquer territories. Can be presented as quests and strategies. Slowly lose their chic and go to the background.

Further, it should be noted that games are more psychological. In them, the player has to survive, but without weapons. As a rule, such "little things" are more aimed at finding objects and places where to hide. They are very popular.

There are also logical horror. They usually show whole long stories that you have to investigate.

The same detective "Sherlock Holmes" or "Still Life" can be called, in part, a horror game. And now, when we found out what horror is, let's talk about some of them.

SCP

Indi-horror SCP: CB - this is an excellent game for those who need a story. In addition, here you have to survive in actual conditions. The plot unfolds within the scientific complex, in which various monsters and objects with paranormal abilities are explored and contained. Very many of them are dangerous for people and all life.

By a lucky chance, in SCP you will have the role of a prisoner, who is forced to look after and clean up for monsters. During one of the cleaning in the cell of the most terrible object, somewhere in the security system there is a malfunction - the personnel near you are dying at the hands of the monster, an accident occurs, and the inhabitants of the whole complex break free. Now you have to get free, locking the most dangerous enemies in their cages.

SCP - this is an excellent psychological horror, which very much "presses on the brain" its atmospheric. In it you have to show logic and ingenuity, studying the records of scientists and workers of the complex.

Damned

Another horror toy. She is still very new, has recently appeared in Steam. Is a cooperative game. The ability to play with other people and even talk with them in the process of passing is exactly what helps the player to truly plunge into the game world of fear and horror.

The plot is rather strange. You represent a group of people who must flee from one of the three possible monsters in a confined space. Summer camp, abandoned psychiatric hospital, old hotel - the places are completely different, but the goal is to survive at any cost. Here you have to look for the keys to the doors, hammers and scrap in order to tear off blocked passages, to avoid falling into traps and in every possible way to hide from the evil spirits that hunt for you.

Interestingly, in Damned, a player can play for one of the three monsters currently available. Each of them has its own features and capabilities. The task is to kill the "survivors". Use traps, listen to the noise around you and, what's most interesting - frighten players with the headset. They will hear you from anywhere. But you, unfortunately, hear the conversation "surviving" can not. Neither hear nor see (in the game is available head and not a voice chat). Good for those who are bored with linear toys.

And what does the Meincraft have to do with it?

Quite often you can stumble upon the statement that "Maynkraft" is a horror. In truth, probably everyone has heard about this popular game. Seeing such a statement, you immediately think about why?

The thing is that for the game "Maynkraft" there are so-called horror cards, on which you can play. They, as a rule, illustrate some scenes and locations from real computer "horror movies". Such additions attract many players and allow them, without detaching themselves from the construction process, to get that adrenaline rush that is missing.
