How Does Here's Why Indie Horror Gaming Is Destroying Itself Work?

Indie horror games are like kids building haunted houses, they’re fun at first, but sometimes they get too excited and forget to clean up after themselves.

Indie horror gaming is when small teams or even one person makes scary video games. They're like the classroom artists who make creepy posters for Halloween, creative, personal, and full of surprises.

But here's the thing: indie horror games are destroying themselves because they’re making too many at once, all trying to be the scariest kid in class. It’s like if every student made a haunted house, some are cool, but others just have one flash light and a loud noise. You can’t remember them all.

Also, sometimes they make games that are too similar, it's like having 10 versions of the same spooky poster with slightly different colors. It’s fun at first, but after a while, you get tired of seeing the same tricks over and over.

So, even though indie horror games have amazing ideas, if they’re not careful, all that excitement might become too much, and then people will just say “meh” instead of being scared.
