Fan Casting Mascot Horror

Role added by connieblackwood on September 3, 2023

Make Suggestion

Description of Mascot Horror:

A type of indie horror game popularized in the mid-2010s. Instead of masses of enemies, an intangible terror, or an actively horrific threat, make the main terror be a recognizable, corporeal character (or group of characters) who, with some defanging, could easily be the mascots of a children's media franchise (and often are in-universe). This mascot essentially serves as a mascot for the game too, always showing up on the cover art, contrasting greatly with the dark, atmospheric cover art that most horror games have. In conjunction with this, add further allusions to the players' childhood by having references to recognizable childhood media.
