lol the request for a nicer, sunnier, prettier Souls experience
Apologies I'm over spending dozens of hours of drooling ripped apart festering monsters. The gameplay etc would work in a different setting without having to jerk off to a gore fetish.

Oh trust me, they give you enough.In addition the story is too vague. While keeping things mysterious is an important part of horror here they take it too far IMO and don't give your imagination enough to go wild with.
Jesus Bloodborne.The skeleton cart area was the creepiest. The corpses that had tried to climb the walls while something terrible was happening was the most forthright darkness it showed.
Lovecraftian and cosmic horror it's is own subgenre. Some people are scared by it, others are not. Plus there's a lot of body gore and whatnot, so it's definitely not for everyone.
I've been playing horror games for decades, and Bloodborne has a moment that scared me so bad that it continues to scare me to this day. The part where you take the lift down, and are walking through​ the dark, and then you bump into the Brain of Mensis. Even a year later if I'm walking through my dark house at night I will briefly​ imagine that giant eye-covered brain chilling somewhere in my living room.
Let us know if he ever gets to upper cathedral ward lol

I have been looking for the song that plays before you drop the brain and cant find it. So scary
Sure but Bloodborne goes beyond just the asethetic of horror. Out of curiosity why do you not consider Bloodborne to be horror.
I find Dark Souls kind of terrifying in some ways, surprised that series is no big deal but this tilts it. I guess the aesthetic is outright horror vs. gloomy and imposing.
Really want to convince one of my good friends to play this game, but any game that has "stats" that you have to think about for more than two seconds, or items that can be upgraded terrifies him. It suddenly becomes this super complex RPG that he aggrandizes to absurd levels. He basically won't "play" them unless I allocate everything for him, and I honestly don't believe that it's an issue with his understanding, and more that he's just mentally lazy sometimes. It took a year just to get him to finish the first Mass Effect (slightly understandable I guess), but the second game is so much easier to digest, but "Oh no, stats!"
I'll never understand this distinction. Both Demon's Souls and Dark Souls are horror because of the gloomy atmosphere, and...uh...dread. It doesn't need to look like Van Helsing or have gallons of gore to be horror.
I also find it hard to argue against when many of the creature designs could be interchangeable within each game, and that even happens in Dark Souls 3. All that's left after that is architecture; which again, copious amounts of Bloodborne's aesthetics are liberally transplanted into Dark Souls 3.
Damn don't let him play RE7 psvr lol
The notion that some adults are so scared that they can't even play those games seems completely alien and somewhat ridiculous to me.
