Step 1, be scary

>>729858772
step 1: make a shitty game, preferably with no actual gameplay
step 2: give it just a unique enough art style that retards will slobber all over it
step 3: add crappy writing that would embarrass all except the shittiest tumblr fanfic slop slurpers
step 4: shill it incessantly in places where mentally ill people run rampant

Getting picked up by the right YouTuber. I don’t think the next real trend has broken out yet, we’ve moved past >muh psone visuals but I don’t think the next bandwagon has really pulled up yet, VNs will always do okay but it’s hard to stand out. I guess for the foreseeable it’s all tired-looking, ambiguously gendered characters with mental health concerns that the kids can pretend they relate to.

Thank god. I’m so sick of 90% of horror games that came out last year using the same low res style. It made them all blur together and came across as a shortcut to be lazy with the graphics.
