Actually, there is nothing “pussy” about being scared of Minecraft, and the game actually offers a really good horror atmosphere. The idea that you are alone in an inherently hostile and alien world where there is nothing similar to you at all, is something that plenty of horror games uses.
All you need is some good horror music, which Minecraft offers with disk 13, and you have a good and scary game.
The idea that only blood and gore is needed for horror is a very basic idea of what horror is. The atmosphere is much more important to horror, and Minecraft actually has a great horror atmosphere.
You know what I am gonna add on to this.
Facts that make Minecraft scary
The villagers look nothing like you, yet the zombies do. What are the zombies, for they cannot be dead villagers? Scary
The Endermen being eldritch abominations that just travel around collecting blocks for some unknown purpose, becoming hostile should you look in their eyes. Scary
Literally having a hell that you can travel to, where you can harvest the souls of the dead in a convenient block form. Scary
Traveling too far until you reach the edge of the world where reality breaks down and nothing makes sense. Scary
The darkness being a source of creatures that serve no purpose but to do one thing and one thing only, and that is to kill. Scary
The idea that the only thing keeping you safe is light and that no matter where you are if it is dark they will get you. Scary
The idea that there is not a single living creature like you in the vastness of this world, and that you are ultimately alone. Scary.
@xiaodonnas@anarchy-in-new-vegas@yeahbumbleby Fine, seeing as you all want to read it, here it is. TBH I lied it is not really much of an essay, but more just me rambling on about Minecraft.
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
