Survival Horror: What Sets It Apart from Just "Horror"?
Horror and survival horror seem similar upon a first glance, but they're not. I dive briefly into two different design philosophies that go into these two game genres. Horror games primarily serve to leave you helpless and scare you, whereas survival horror games involve smart resource management and how you can use them to kill enemies.
I dive into horror games like Outlast 1 and 2, Five Nights at Freddy's (FNAF), Slender: The Eight Pages and for survival horror, primarily dive to Resident Evil (mainly 7: Biohazard and 4).
