Walking-sim horror template
A house, a sound you cannot place, and no monster required for the first ten minutes. Visage (SadSquare Studio, 2020) and Anatomy (Kitty Horrorshow, 2016) trust the tape and the room. Add a chase and you have left for creature horror. The AI walking sim maker is the walk. The AI horror game maker is the dread you are trying not to explain away.

What makes a walking-sim horror
Walking-sim horror: horror with no combat, carried by place and story.
The games that set the standard are Visage (SadSquare Studio, 2020), Anatomy (Kitty Horrorshow, 2016) and Paratopic (Arbitrary Metric, 2018).
What the template starts with
The walking-sim horror template starts with one house and one sound you cannot place. That is the smallest version of the loop that defines the genre: walk, notice, feel the dread build.
What to change first
Play the sound with the monster deleted. If the house is boring, the sound was never specific. If the house works, do not put the monster back out of guilt.
2D or 3D
The walking-sim horror template starts in 3D.
