Repo Game emphasizes psychological horror
4 days ago by Kirk Robertson
Repo Game emphasizes psychological horror over jump scares, relying on subtle audio-visual cues to build tension. The creak of floorboards, the distant murmur of distorted voices, and shadows that don’t quite match the objects casting them all contribute to the slow-burn dread. The game’s minimalist soundtrack enhances this effect, with ambient drones and dissonant tones that rise and fall according to your proximity to danger. It’s not about what jumps out at you—it’s about what you think is watching you from the dark.
