AI-made horror games
A horror game is a video game centered on horror fiction and designed to scare the player. It is defined more by tone and presentation than by one set of mechanics, so the core loop varies. In survival horror, the loop is to explore, find items and solve puzzles while avoiding or barely surviving enemies. Resident Evil (1996) and Silent Hill (1999) are well-known survival horror examples.
Horror leans on atmosphere, which is also a code problem: dim lighting that limits what the player sees, off-screen sounds and scripted encounters. Survival horror adds limited ammunition and health, a small inventory and save points, and some games use fixed camera angles to build tension.
Sound needs care in a browser. Browsers block audio until the player clicks or presses a key, so the first scare can't play on page load, and the Web Audio API's PannerNode places sounds in 3D space around the listener.
