Why do some English games seem like a Chinese ghost story?

One characteristic is the use of suspense. In both, there is a build - up of tension. Just as in a Chinese ghost story, you don't know when the ghost will appear, in an English game, you might not know when the next scary event will occur. Another is the use of sound. Creaking floors or howling winds in games are similar to the spooky sounds in Chinese ghost stories.

One game like it could be 'Tale of Tales: The Path'. It has an eerie atmosphere and a somewhat similar aesthetic. The game involves exploring a forest with a dark and mysterious undertone, much like the feeling in a Chinese ghost story.

There is also 'Tales of Berseria'. It features a world filled with magic and mystery. The story follows the journey of the main character through a world full of different creatures and complex characters. Similar to 'Chinese Ghost Story', it has a richly detailed world with an overarching plot that involves elements of the supernatural and moral choices for the characters.

Not all Chinese manhwa are the same. It could be that the ones you've come across happen to share some similarities, but there are many unique and different ones out there waiting to be discovered. Different artists and writers bring their own creativity and perspectives to the table.

For a beginner, 'Detention' could be a good start. It is set in a school environment with a lot of Chinese - influenced horror elements. It has a great story that is easy to follow and not overly complex in terms of gameplay, but still manages to create a spooky atmosphere.

Yes, there might be. Sometimes, popular Chinese stories like this get translated into English for a wider audience.

Well, "Final Fantasy XIV" is worth considering. It has a very immersive story - line, with a variety of races and classes to choose from. The game also has a great community. It often has large - scale raids and events that require teamwork, much like some aspects of Chinese Ghost Story. Additionally, the in - game economy is well - developed, which adds another layer of depth to the gameplay.

These games usually have a strong emphasis on story - telling. Just as Chinese Ghost Story has its own unique plot, other mmorpg games in this category often have a main story - line with side - quests. Social interaction is also key. You can team up with other players to complete dungeons or fight bosses. There are often guilds or clans that players can join for more social and cooperative play. And of course, there are often different types of PvP (Player vs Player) and PvE (Player vs Environment) content.

I'd recommend 'The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt'. It has a fantasy world with monsters and magic, similar to the themes in A Chinese Ghost Story. The game also offers deep character development and engaging quests.

One game similar to 'A Chinese Ghost Story' could be 'Ghost of Tsushima'. It has a strong Asian - inspired atmosphere with elements of the supernatural. You encounter ghosts and spirits during your adventures in a beautiful yet somewhat eerie Japanese - inspired landscape.
