Eerie - Games

In gaming, 'eerie' describes an unsettling atmosphere achieved through subtle design elements. It often involves minimal soundscapes with distant whispers or faint footsteps, creating tension without overt horror. Visuals use muted palettes, distorted perspectives, and ambiguous shadows to evoke unease. Gameplay might incorporate unpredictable environmental shifts or indirect threats, leaving players questioning reality. This concept transcends genres, from adventure puzzles to survival titles, relying on psychological discomfort rather than jump scares to immerse players in a lingering sense of dread.
