What makes a psychological horror
Psychological horror: fear from the mind: unreliable places, memories and perceptions.
The games that set the standard are Silent Hill 2 (Konami, 2001), Layers of Fear (Bloober Team, 2016) and Doki Doki Literature Club (Team Salvato, 2017).
What the template starts with
The psychological horror template starts with one hallway that changes each time you look back. That is the smallest version of the loop that defines the genre: explore, notice the change, doubt what you saw.
What to change first
Change one object the player already looked at, and nothing else. If they do not notice, the object was never important. If they notice only because of a sound sting, the picture was not doing the work.
2D or 3D
The psychological horror template starts in 3D.
