SuperTurnip brought up an interesting point today. He said pixel art should work well for scary games, because it lets the viewer make up the details. Which makes sense. The scariest monsters are always the ones that are partially or entirely concealed, because when the rabbit is out of the box, the monster is never quite as scary as you had imagined.
But I can't think of any scary pixel art games. The closest I can think of is SuperBrothers, which was creepy, but not really scary. Alone in the Dark was scary when I was a kid, but not it's not pixel art.
Can anyone help? I'm talking about horror games, primarily, but all pixel art games with an element of spookiness are of interest.
