The Most Tragic Kind of Horror in Video Games

Psychological Horror is a creepy subgenre that always pulls me back in, and almost every time it blows my mind. It pops up in family friendly games like Zelda, it pops up in movies and when pieces are dedicated to be purely psychological horror oriented, they often tell stories that wouldn't traditionally be told and it has you rooting for characters you wouldn't usually cheer on. Today I'm talking about it! Comment your thoughts!!!! Also unrelated I also touch on the decline of subtlety in modern movies, books and games.
