For this episode, Dr. Gameology and Jenny explore the horror genre of videogames. Jenny shares experiences from Phasmophobia, and Doc shares his recent experiences completing different in-game challenges on stream with Resident Evil 7. The differentiation between fear and anxiety is drawn to expand the emotions many people experience in this form of videogame enjoyment. Multiple studies concerning the neuroscience of fear and the structure of fear-induced game situations are shared to create the mental health context for this style of game.
