PSX Horror Style
Crunchy low-poly horror. Affine textures. Fog. Limited palette. Tension over fidelity.
When to Use
- PS1-era horror game looks
- Puppet Combo / retro survival horror vibes
- When
horror-styleneeds explicit PSX constraints
Core Tenets
- Low poly, high dread — Few tris, strong shapes
- Texture crunch — Low-res, nearest filtering feel
- Vertex / affine warping cues — Subtle wobble optional
- Fog + darkness — Hide draw distance sins
- Analog grit — VHS/CRT via compositing sparingly

camera-cinematography)
