Repo Game succeeds in building dread without relying on constant jump scares. Instead, it cultivates a slow-burning fear through atmosphere, sound, and pacing. Players may go long stretches with no encounters—only to be ambushed when their guard is down. This methodical pacing ensures tension remains high and players never feel completely safe. It’s a masterclass in horror game design that rewards patience and perceptiveness. Whether you’re tweaking your flashlight settings or checking your objective, everything is just a few intuitive clicks away. It's another example of how Repo Game puts player experience at the forefront of its design.
