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-style` needs explicit PSX constraints
Core Tenets
1. **Low poly, high dread** — Few tris, strong shapes 2. **Texture crunch** — Low-res, nearest filtering feel 3. **Vertex / affine warping cues** — Subtle wobble optional 4. **Fog + darkness** — Hide draw distance sins 5. **Analog grit** — VHS/CRT via compositing sparingly
Vs Related Styles
| Skill | Role | |-------|------| | `horror-style` | Broad psychological horror direction | | `lowpoly-style` | General PS1/PS2 / Lethal Company | | `psx-horror-style` | Horror + PSX crunch specifically |
Modeling
- 100–800 tris for many props
- Characters chunky; faces minimal
- Interiors modular, repetitive, oppressive
Materials / Textures
- 64–256px textures common
- Limited palette; indexed feel
- Flat shading or very low smooth
- Emissive screens as narrative props
Lighting & Camera
- Single practical lights; deep shadows
- Low camera, narrow spaces
- Fog/mist mandatory for depth
- Optional handheld noise (`camera-cinematography`)
Compositing Extras
- Slight blur / chromatic aberration
- Posterize / crush colors carefully
- Film grain / VHS overlay subtle
Constraints
MUST DO
- Keep poly and texture budgets intentionally low
- Prioritize fog, sound-design-friendly spaces
- Stage sparse narrative props
MUST NOT DO
- Modern PBR microdetail as primary look
- Bright clean global illumination
