Haven't played a horror game in years but as things are getting kinda rough irl I find myself wanting to go back to Silent Hill.

Its super weird though, is there some name or psychology behind this sort of response. The world is scary enough, theres enough stress in the day to day life, then theres the existential dread that comes with getting older. Why do we run to horror games to get comfort from all that?

or is that just a me thing? If thats the case disregard.
