How to Make a Game Scary

Here's how to actually make a game scary:

1. Audio first
2. Rising fractal tension curve

what does that actually mean? do audio before you do anything else. sound is the soul of the game, and the quickest path to visceral feeling. what's in your head is always scarier than anything you can actually show, and sound is a good way to trigger those scary thoughts. a rising fractal curve works not only for tension, but for everything. fractals just make everything better. i'm making this all up, but it worked for me. have you ever tried something similar?
