It's Halloween and so this week we're focused on the thrills and impact of horror games and how they work to make us feel scared.

What is it about horror games that scare us? How do game developers go about tempting us to both feel fear and want to carry on playing?

Come chat to us on Twitter @IndieByDesign and tell us about the games that have scared you and why.
