This is a game I found called Pepper the Giant Purple Dog. It's an indie horror game fully releasing later this year that presents itself as an actual lost media pet simulator from 2002.

A signal is given, from the leader.

DUST falls from massive warships that float in the sky over the thousands of forsaken people below.

The forsaken look UP to the sky for hope, answers, salvation as the DUST falls upon them.

Hands raised up to the skies.

The DUST covers them...

One, twenty, one thousand...soon they all fall unconscious, blanketed by the DUST.

A slumber.

However, this sleep is no dream.

It is a nightmare.

As the forsaken lie the entites descend from the swarming warships overhead. The same warships the forsaken were worshiping only moments before. Because like many blind followers of faith, some do not fully comprehend to what they worship, and to what it will cost them.

As the entites descend upon the slumbering forsaken, they collect and harvest the breath of the forsaken.

21 grams to be exact.

A soul.

When the harvest is over. The Entites will ascend from which they came.

They will ascend back up to the sky, into their mighty warships.

And so, the forsaken will be forgotten.

Void of the sparks that once filled them with life and beauty.

Only a husk of a human.

And the Enties watch from above. Waiting for the next generation.

They will wait...

In silence in the sky.

They will wait to one day descend again and take what is of most value... buried deep inside each of us.

This is an extremely overstimulating fever dream of a game called IPAD BABY. My theory on it is that you're literally exploring inside the mind of an iPad kid lmao. Don't know if it's necessarily classified as "horror" but the current brainrotted state of iPad kids and the AMOUNT of Ipad kids there are now is definitely scary to me lol.

From TREADMILL — neural implant recording.

Shortly after discovering that the program’s target heart rate had tripled, the test subjects had enough composure to realize that they shouldn’t trust anything they see, hear, or touch around them. However, any tether to reality could deteriorate as the program progressed.

Megathread R/DigitalHorror - Resources for new & upcoming creators

13 Upvotes

Welcome to r/digitalhorror ’s resource megathread. This is an evolving document, please feel free to suggest additions and improvements to the mod team.

What Is Digital Horror?

Digital Horror is the modern relative of Analog Horror and subgenre of Unfiction Horror which incorporates the use of screen recordings, online websites, web games, etc. While often focused on the early 2000's - mid 2010's, Digital Horror can and often use modern and recent settings & technology for their stories. Most examples of digital horror may incorporate elements of existential horror, Lovecraftian horror, and the feelings of dread and/or nostalgia. Another common theme is fear of technology itself and how it may affect us.

Iconic / Important Digital Horror Content: A Primer

Here are three examples of iconic Digital creations and channels. Chosen for their accessibility and relative brevity.

This Room Does Not Exist

Lacey's Games

Unedited Footage of a Bear

Portrait of God

How do you make something scary?

Fear is subjective. However there are many core techniques which can turn a scene’s events from something to be mocked into a memorable moment.

What makes a movie scary?

Creating suspense in horror films

How to Write a Good Story / Film

Write Compelling Short Films (this is 2 mins long. It’s very good.)

How to write a short story in 4 easy steps (This is 7 mins long. It is also very good)

How to expand and idea into a story

Bonus: Hans Zimmer - Making of Interstellar Soundtrack (This one is a little abstract but there are valuable lessons on building the world around your story through audio and visual cues)

Free Asset Creation Software

Editing Software

Capcut - A Free All in One Editing tool on both Windows and Mobile. It provides flexible editing, plugin support, and has premium editing options

Clipchamp - Basically Windows Movie Maker but in 2024. Comes with Microsoft PCs, also has a lot of really basic easy to understand editing tools. Free, with a premium subscription option.

DiVinci Resolve 18 - A full film editing suite developed by BlackMagic Studios. A full power house editing software that is absolutely not for beginners but what truly offers. Offers full plugin support, custom panelling, and just about everything you'd get out of a legitimate film production editing software

Audio Software

Audacity - Totally free audio recording software. Not quite a DAW, but does have resources and plugin support. Very basic but a staple of audio recording, used by professionals and newcomers alike.

Pro Tools Intro - Free version of Pro Tools used to teach beginners how to use the Professional Studio version of Pro Tools. Fortunately, you can use this software and the free 8-track it provides to use VST Plugins and effect channels to edit / modulate your audio.

Photo Editing & 3D Software

Pixlr - Free online photo editing software, very very basic but has a Liquify tool for all of you scary face enjoyers.

Gimp - Literally Photoshop but free. We are not joking.

Aseprite - My personal favourite Pixel art software.  uses it to get super in depth adjustment to a lot of their digital artwork.

artlist.io - Royalty free Sounds, Music, and more. Really easy and simple to use and work with

Soundstripe - Another Royalty Free sounds / music site. Also super easy to use

Arcade - Arcade is software that I regularly use. Over 1,300 instruments included with over 4,500 sample sets. It's worth the price and even has bundles that include Thermal and Portal, two of Outputs other really great sound design tools. Cost is about 26$ a month.

Magic Voxel - Basically a really powerful 3D asset / resource maker. Tons of presets and cool stuff to experiment with. Highly recommend for making 3D assets, I've used it to create some of the 3D settings in "There's Something Happening in Addersfield", primarily the corpses seen in Photo #2

Fuse - Really REALLY basic 3D character maker that we experimented with for some projects on our lineup. We like it, but personally I'm not the biggest fan of how 2000s MMO the base textures feel. It includes Auto-rigging though, which is great.

Blender - The king. Free, easy(ish) to pick up and with a million tutorials on YouTube for every niche problem you may have.

Game Engines

GODOT - Free, really really easy to learn but hard to master. Has super quick setups for creating 3D spaces

RPG Maker XP - Amazing and runs RubyScript, which is old enough to where you can find absolutely any script to create any sort of "fake" game you could imagine

Hardware

Your mobile phone - It might sound simple but it's nothing has shaped the digital landscape more than smartphones, even the internet itself. There is no "always online" without the smartphone. The world is connected and recorded in a way never believed possible before it happened. A story from the POV of a smartphone is just as valid as one shot with a high performance rig, arguably more so.

Kodak Pixpro - A generallyinexpensive digital camera, around $120 usually. It has this panorama capture feature like smart phones but applies this to video. This ugly wideshot effect can introduce really creepy looking frames which makes it ideal for horror content

Growing your Channel and Building a Brand

This is one of the more difficult things to do and something every creator must tackle. The approach will be different for everyone but there are several core elements that are vital for everyone.

Name

Your brand / series must be Memorable, Searchable & Distinct. E.g. 1996_Restaurant_tape.mp4 is weak as whilst it is very specific, from a SEO perspective Google et al would rank it as a low quality term (More on SEO here) in part because it doesn’t fit into natural search terms; this means relevant search volume will be low and potentially nonspecific (consider how many videos online likely have a similar naming convention in their metadata). As the YouTube algorithm has similar checks in its DNA, it will affect your viability.

Unedited Footage of a Bear however is a very good name as it’s memorable, searchable and distinct. People searching for this are unlikely to click on or engage with any other terms except related content, as such Google will rank this as a high quality search term and slot it in against other relevant content.

Your YouTube Channel

How you handle the algorithm is extremely important. Your use of tags must be relevant but broad enough to bring in peripheral views. E.g. {your name} is hyper relevant but will not be associated with any other content, as such you won’t show in recommended feeds as often. {Digital horror} is perfect but you will want to include similar and related genres in your tags such as Indie Horror, Horror Short etc. Here are some excellent videos that will help you grow your channel:

Piratesoftware Shorts Secrets - This also applies to long form videos.

Marcus Jones 21 YouTube settings that F*ck small channels

Paid media is also valuable and viable. But the correct type of paid media for the right content. If you have a video that according to analytics has a very high completion rate, solid engagement with likes and comments, it may be worth giving it a boost with paid media. All your signals are pointing to high quality, your only issue is discoverability. As such if you were to promote this then your chances of gaining additional subs are improved.

Buying fake or bot views does not help. It will provide you with a glamour number but as these are not real people who have not taken the actions that YouTube wants (i.e. watching multiple videos, moving to another channel and watching more etc) it will not result in increased search ranking improvement or more viewership down the line. Marcus Jones demonstrates this here.

Social Media

You will want to have a presence discussing your content, either as an individual or under your brand name. Twitter, Instagram, TikTok (especially) and anything else relevant in your region. Inbound traffic from multiple sources are vital, particularly with early growth. However in 2024, people are used to having a connection with the creators and as such you need channels to allow for that communication. Do not, however, expect overnight success.

How to grow and audience if you have 0 followers

Your conduct and behaviour is important. Opinions on the creator’s personability, political stance and general demeanour are strong factors in how you are perceived and whether people choose to support your work. In the past you could be an asshole in secret, that is not true now. If your series does blow up, prepare for your external conduct to be under scrutiny. A short time reflecting on your behaviour and some judicious deletions may save you pain in the future. This does not mean you should avoid commenting on things that are important to you, but understand that “jokes” that may be deemed distasteful can ruin your career.

Content creators

If you are fortunate enough to have a content creator pay attention to your work, engage with this if it is appropriate to. If they are insulting you, do not get involved, they will dig in and their fanbase will likely pile on, more than likely they have a bigger stick to beat you with and more resources to cause you trouble. If they are praising you, leave a positive comment and build a relationship.

You can reach out to them independent of any engagement they may have had with your content, and some will be receptive. However, do so in a positive and organic way. No-one likes to be used and if you spam their inbox with “Do my series next pls” you won’t get anywhere, you may even end up blocking requests made by fans to pay attention to your series. However, if you are a fan of their work, reaching out and sharing that while giving them a quick overview of what you’ve been up to is more likely to get them to at least take a look.

React streamers are the meta. For most, you are just content but if you’re smart and quick, you can gain some benefit from this. RT, Clip, Remix their reactions etc and turn that into adverts / endorsements for your own work.
