The horror genre is popular because of its ability to draw viewers in, build up a palpable sense of tension, and make them feel as if the fictional danger they're experiencing is real. No medium does this better than video games, putting players directly into the action and making their threats feel real. When it comes to immersive experiences in games, horror is one of the best genres for making players feel like they're really there.
