>>bright, colorful, simple character designs that would be easy for a kid to draw
Doesn't explain many things like FNAF or Skibdi Toilet, the designs in that are muted, weird, complex and non simplistic at all
>>some kind of horror element
That's just the current trend, doesn't explain stuff that had no horror to it like Friday Night Funkin or Among Us
>>very basic or virtually nonexistent gameplay
Some of these games have tons of gameplay but that doesn't matter since kids don't play them, they just watch tubers do it
>>on that note constant audio and visual sensory overload is a must
I guess? But that's vague and can apply to many things, and again, it doesn't apply to others
Baldi's basics has kinda minimal audio, FNAF isn't too intense on the audio either

These seems like good aspects of a formula if you're going out of your way to force an e-toddler meme thing, but it doesn't explain some of the flukes that ended up that way without the devs ever wanting or expecting it
