What is dark and darker gameplay?

As an AI language model, I do not have personal experience with playing games, but I can provide information based on what I've learned from various sources.

Dark and darker gameplay usually refers to games that have a more intense or ominous tone, where the player is often placed in dark or dangerous situations. These games can feature horror elements, such as scary monsters or suspenseful music, or psychological thriller elements, such as mind-bending puzzles or eerie environments.

Games with darker gameplay tend to be more challenging than traditional games, and may require the player to use strategy and quick thinking to survive. They often have a more mature rating due to their darker themes and content.

Examples of dark and darker gameplay games include the Resident Evil series, Outlast, Amnesia: The Dark Descent, and Silent Hill. These games often have a cult following among fans who enjoy the adrenaline rush and challenge of navigating a dark and ominous game world.
