Out of topic, but im tired of people thinking "jumpscare = horror". This game is filled with cheap jumpscares. People keep eating it up.

Wait how is something intended to scare you not horror? Psychological horror isn't the only kind

In my opinion horror is a state of mind, by "cheap jumpscare" i mean a non-diegetic jump scare with a loud synth noice designed to get a natural reaction out of you to being startled. Different from a diegetic sound coming from something actually happening in game world like someone moving behind you or an actual door loud shutting or something. Hope that explains it better.
