Horror Survival serves as the sub-genre of Action Adventure games inspired by Horror fiction that revolves around survival of the character controlled by the protagonist as the game tries to frighten the player with either scary ambience or horror graphics. Although the combat may be a part of the gameplay, the player is made to feel less in command compared to action games through limited health, vision, speed, and ammunition, or through different obstructions of the interaction of the player with unique game mechanics. In these games, the player is challenged to locate items which can be used to unlock the path to new areas and solve mind-bending puzzles to advance in the game. These games make use of horror themes like an unexpected attack from enemies or strange, terrible beings and maze-like environment. In these games, the player’s character is under-armed or vulnerable, which emphasises evasion and puzzle-solving gameplay, rather than violence. Games challenge the player to manage his inventory and gather resources like ammunition. These games come with relatively few NPCs and unfold the storyline through the use of audio logs, texts, and journals. Most of Action video games introduce long protagonist against hordes of enemies in the suspenseful environment, while Horror Survival Games are distinct from other Horror-based Action games.
