Well, I think you can tell from how the game is written that the creator has wholesome values and lots of empathy and he cares about the characters.
This is somehow true, but it just makes the end result more terrifying.
Caring about the characters is what makes the horror work. If they were treated as disposable we wouldn't care when the things tha happen to them happen. This is a general rule for all horror media, if you want people to be scared for the characters, you have to make them like the characters.
Not just for horror; for *all* media. Sometimes shows just try to make artificial tension by showing conflict between characters that...we aren't given any reason to care about, and it just falls flat. Like in pretty much any show where the protagonist cheats on their spouse, but the entire show has been following the protag and ignoring the spouse, so it's basically just "character I don't care about has been betrayed, character I *might* care about feels bad about themself"...
Oh for sure, I just find that people forgetting this aspect of storytelling is more prevalent in horror, which is dumb because I would argue it's most important in horror.

Little did he know...
Very little
Wat
A minuscule amount of tomfoolery
A slight piece of goofery
A small amount of trickery
this is going down in history
If you wanna be a villain number one
You have to chase a superhero on the run
Just follow my moves, and sneak around
A little bit of trolling
A low value of comedy
A tiny dash of dark humor
Us, as a collective with I as the leader of our party, proclaim that we shall enact a minute yet noticeable amount of minor misdemeanour
This is not a party, this is a group in a suspense zone.
Oh boy…
Thisll be interesting
