Make some glitched text appear in late new’s text.

Not too scary.
Remember, 8 year old appropriate at the very least. (probably 5 yr apropriate is best)

well, guess what. A 8 yr old don’t even understand wth is psychological horror. all they gonna think is o the char in the game is such a weirdo. so no worry, a horror game that can scare a 5yr or 8yr is jumpscare not psychological horror

we need to stay on topic guys

well jims computer has minimal scary effects, the only ones being a scary feeling given to the player, some darkness, and “creepy” music, but the goal is to do so much more. if you get rid of the implied ending it could be good

An easy way to make an unstable character for psychological horror is to include some sort of past mental trauma, and then make the phone somehow keep reminding the character of the trauma.

are you sure…
imean, yes true, I do agree with you on this:

but I think psychological horror can scare a 5 yr easily. because it has to be creepy, and creepy stuff freaks me out. and tbh, I could understand most psychological horrors. imean, its horrors, so I knew it was scary, but not why.

Well, anyways, I guess as long as you don’t go too far, then it should be fine.
GL! :grin:

hmmmm now i need a ending what should the ending be? (pls give me some advice)
