UK “lifestyle community” Xtaster was nice enough to hit me up for an interview about horror games as part of their Halloween-related content. The interview is live now, and it’s been nicely annotated with images from some great horror games. It’s really nice to be able to reach beyond this blog and talk about horror games with more casual readers this way; I maintain my assertion that horror games are a much more widely accessible genre than many other forms of mainstream games, and part of the reason that they are so great is that they are enjoyed by a diverse audience. My hope is that interviews like this one will help spur gamers who are new to horror (or to gaming in general) to give the genre an chance and further broaden its appeal.
Wow, very cool! Congrats!
