Relevantly, there has only been a handful of psychological horror video games and the best one is known as Amnesia which is a decade old. Even though it is a popular game, in the psychological horror game genre there are only a handful of known games. This game is a survival game where the player must maintain their sanity and not kill monsters but hide from them. The story leads with the main character having forcefully forgotten memories as to keep his innocence and thus taken through a mind blowing journey. Even taking someone from a fictional story where at first things seem very recognizable, like our world, and then revealing what is evil in that world and how that makes you feel, is psychological entertaining and scary. Similar play style as mine. But instead of keeping sanity my character feels the anxiety from all she sees, and this affects how that character plays. I believe when my game is published it can be compared to a summarized short game similar to Amnesia. Lucy, is a game that is adding to the small library of psychological horror games. I find this genre fascinating as one can reflect on their live while watching the film or story play out. The story doesn’t flat out confront the viewer into thinking about such psychological aspects but we are invited to do so.
