Why these games appear

How entries qualify

Horror-led games built around vulnerability, resource scarcity, evasion, and fear rather than a broader survival-simulation loop.

Include when

Assign Survival Horror when horror-led games built around vulnerability, resource scarcity, evasion, and fear rather than a broader survival-simulation loop. This must be a sustained, defining part of play rather than an isolated mode or sequence.

Leave out when

Do not assign Survival Horror from theme, presentation, camera, or a minor mechanic alone; its defining interaction and progression pattern must recur through the core game.
