How to make dbd more of a horror game
This all would have to be optional in settings due to how some like the current game
1. First personally mode.
2. Realistic mode all killers warnings/tr are removed to you
3. Horror mode same as above but it also removes your ui
4. New key bind quick look. Lets the player to do a quick 180 camera turn to see behind them

Maybe for KYF but not for public lobbies
Playing without the information just sounds horrible, I'm sorry.
Given my experience with Killer's that can drop terror radius, Myers, Ghostface, Pig, yes they can jump scare you sometimes but, everyone all the time, unplayable.
The overall mechanics of this game and, the speed of the game kinda drives the horror aspect away.
I often compare to Friday the 13th. That game does a good job at setting the tone because, Jason is lethal from the beginning, the maps are big so, survivors have time to rummage for items and weapons. When Jason finds you, you have to escape or stun him with an item. The overall interactions are fun. The gameplay is longer and more interesting, finding specific items, multiple ways to escape and, even fight Jason.
If BHVR wanted to make the game less about "game mechanics" and more horror, it would need a new direction and longer gameplay.
5. Each time you unhook a survivor in front of the killer without BT - all you smell for the rest of your life is Charlie Sheen's breath
What?
Game may be more "horror" but even then people will get desensitized to it just like they are now. It is impossible for some one to be scared of the same thing after theyve experienced many times
It would also just make the new player experience worst for survivor.
