The first part of my research is to have a look at the general horror games that are already out there. Not only will these help to give me inspiration it allows me to see what has already been done, what was successful about them and what was not successful about them.

I have a good general knowledge of survival horror games, but researching into these again and looking deeper into what was frightening with them and what wasn't, by learning what was scary and unique or well just well done, will help me learn more about the subject and pay off in my design.

Therefore taking note of all of these will help greatly when coming to my design to ensure I am actually using effective researched techniques. This will also ensure I do not something that has been done, or I can see what things have been done poorly in the past and learn from them.
