Since the cancellation of Silent Hills P.T. almost 10 years ago, indie horror gaming has entered a golden era that we have never witnessed before. We started to see independent developers stepping up to fill the void that P.T. left and create games that can provide similar experiences, if not better. Over the years, we witnessed several incredible horror games being released, and each one was unique and pushed us to recognize it. Games like Visage, Madison, and Layers of Fear took over and started to have their own identity in the genre, which made a lot of gamers appreciate them even more. However, even though the last 10 years have included many success stories in horror gaming, what many people don't realize is that the failures are way higher. Many indie developers stepped up in the field and thought that it was an easy market, but they didn't understand that the competition was much tougher than they expected. This resulted in a serious decline in the quality of indie horror games and also a very big difference in the success of titles.
