What makes a great survival horror game? The conventions of the genre are well established by now. Limited saves. Tight inventory space. Surprise attacks and swift deaths. But almost 30 years since the first Resident Evil, classic-style horror has come to mean a lot more. Between Silent Hill, Amnesia, Alien Isolation, and dozens more, today, as well as puzzles, ammo management, and everything else, a truly great horror game needs a robust story, a distinctive aesthetic, and a unique twist. Produced by Shinji Mikami, and boasting a 9/10 rating on Steam, one such game is now available for less than $6.
