Psychological - Games

Psychological games explore the human mind through narrative and mechanics. They often use unreliable narration, moral dilemmas, and environmental storytelling to create tension and introspection. Common elements include sanity meters, perception-altering effects, and choices with ambiguous consequences. These games prioritize atmosphere over action, using sound design, visual distortion, and pacing to evoke unease. They challenge players to interpret symbolism, confront fears, and question reality, making the experience deeply personal and often unsettling.
