HORROR CENTRALITY
93 /100

Survival horror is fundamental to the game's identity: players experience sustained fear, vulnerability, scarce resources, suspenseful exploration and threats from monsters; these elements drive the core gameplay beyond mere aesthetics, so horror centrality is high (0.9+).
