Why are horror/grim games so completely cowardly and sanitized now? Even so called mature ones.They shy away from sex, sexual tension, actual human interactions, rape.Its not a fetish thing, its about tone.Horror games devolve into quirky mascots with catchphrases playing peek a boo over and over, ans they can be killers and horrible people/things but there's a Barbie groin in ever single one.
