In Episode 85 of Co-op Chronicles, Blacklabel, Geisha, and Azzilee explore the idea of accidental horror, moments where games not designed to be scary still managed to make players feel uneasy, isolated, or deeply uncomfortable.

We break down how silence, emptiness, routine, scale, and sound design quietly transformed games like Subnautica, Shadow of the Colossus, and Minecraft into experiences that stuck with players long after they stopped playing.

This episode isn’t about jump scares or monsters.
 It’s about the dread that comes from nothing happening and why that can feel worse than anything chasing you.

If you’ve ever felt unsettled in a game that “wasn’t supposed to be scary,” this episode explains exactly why.
