In contrast to earlier horror games, recent indie horror games are far more simplistic, shorter, and barely even bother having a story. With the declining support for horror games by large publishers, horror games have largely become a genre that’s popular with indie developers. However, the appeal of these games and the horror hits of the late 1990s and early 2000s are wildly different.Īmong almost all the major publishers, Capcom has been the only one to release a big budget horror game in recent years with “Resident Evil: Village”.

It combined the interactive fun of video games, with the intense thrills of horror movies.
