Though the plot is simple by design, we hadn’t seen such carefully thought out narratives with suspense and intrigue by 1993, and the game’s mix of CG backdrops and FMV characters were also praised as the future of gaming (stop sniggering).

7th Guest puts you in the shoes of the ghostly ego of serial deviant Henry Stauf as you explore his haunted mansion, solving puzzles and encountering many a haunted spirit while you figure out the mansion’s darker mysteries. Released in 1993 for PC, 7th Guest holds a place in the hearts of many a gamer, as for some, it was their introduction to horror games and for its time you can easily see why. While TDPA’s soundtracks sadly don’t have a lot to write home about, Supermassive can lay claim to being responsible for one of gaming’s more memorable openings in recent years and for that, it does deserve a passing mention. O’Death is also somewhat a tradition for Supermassive, who have used the folk song in one form or another since Until Dawn.

The best description I can give is that it’s a modern TV intro akin to such shows as Tales from the Crypt or Mystery Science Theater 3000, which you don’t see all that often in the realm of video games. For those who have never played any of Supermassive’s horror stories before, it is an intro of exuberant proportions.

Throughout the series of trope-tastic settings, one aspect I always look forward to is that barn-burner of an intro. Listening to this song has become somewhat of a yearly tradition, and not just because I’m willing to review The Dark Pictures Anthology every time a new instalment comes out. Honourable Mention: A Conversation with Death – The Dark Pictures Anthology This is a history of the horror genre’s humble beginnings and how they have evolved with the times. If you haven’t read any of the Video Game Soundtracks of our Lives articles we did over the summer, bear in mind that isn’t a top 10. So lock all the doors, switch off the lights and get ready to hear plenty of orchestral scores as we delve into the murky swamps and give you ten spooky examples of horror game soundtracks, guaranteed to keep the hearts racing and the mind in a constant state of paranoia. However, like with all things videogame, a good soundtrack is key to keep the anxiety levels high and the player gripping their controllers until the credits roll. From the darkened hallways of insane asylums to the lost cities filled with dark secrets, there’s no denying that gamers are spoilt for choice in where to find their spooky kicks.
Of course, video games like to cash in on that market as well as they should, the horror genre, if done right, can deliver some of the more creative narratives in gaming and has every potential to scare us into switching our consoles off. Whether we’re watching some horror classics, or breaking out the Lovecraft, we live for cheap scares and cheaper Halloween themed cocktails. It’s Halloween, the time of year we purposely sacrifice having heart conditions to find a good scare. It’s that time of year again where we break out our favourite sweaters we like to wear until March while the local village goth has an extra spring in their nu-rock boots.
