    Overview

    J-Horror is often synonymous with psychological horror, in contrast to the visceral horror often associated with American horror.

    In video games, J-Horror is sometimes classified as a sub-genre of survival horror, emphasizing psychological horror and a disturbing atmosphere, over the more Hollywood-style action and visceral horror of action-horror games.
