I embrace the fear by dimming the lights and playing with friends. It makes the experience thrilling while sharing the scares!

Same here - I embrace the fear head-on by turning off the lights, putting on headphones, and letting the game terrify me. It’s the best way to experience horror games. I think the fear is what makes them so memorable - why dilute it?

I don't get scared. Rather, I prepare my mind for what is coming and face it. Anyone who has not gotten a tough mindset shouldn't be playing some of the horror games that we have at all.

All you have to do is enjoy the experience. Yes, it'll be a bit terrifying but it's just a game.
