Thoughts on the Impact of Psychological Horror Games Like Lost Life

Hi everyone,

I wanted to start a discussion around the growing popularity of psychological horror games and their emotional impact on players. One particular game that caught my attention is Lost Life — a title that blends storytelling with unsettling choices and a dark atmosphere that sticks with you long after you've played it.

What I find interesting is how games like this don't rely on jump scares but rather explore themes of isolation, consequence, and suspense. For anyone curious to explore it further, you can check out the game here: Lost Life.

I’m curious to hear your thoughts:

• Do you think psychological horror is more effective than traditional horror?

• What makes a game like Lost Life stand out to you, if at all?

• Are there similar titles you’ve played that left a lasting impression?

Looking forward to your insights!
