Weapons (please read and discuss)

[Kman]

Just because you aren't defenseless doesn't mean something isn't horror, or isn't scary for that matter. If you're given very little resources, like guns and ammo, it can lead to a whole new aspect of horror. Games that do that make you conserve your resources for when you really need them, and if you don't use what you're given wisely it can end up bad. When your options slowly start to run out and you have nothing to fight back with it can make enemies seem even more terrifying and a bigger threat. It all depends on the execution, if it's done well weapons and horror can work well, but if done poorly (giving the player way too much ammo or guns) it can end up turning it into and action FPS with horror elements. It's all in how it's balanced.
