Should this game be considered Psycological Horror?
So i know that Isaac is a pure Rogue Like as the main genre. But i think a sub-genre of horror could be aplied. Considerating all the gore and, well, obvious nightmare scenario that the story tells.

It doesn't evoke horror in the player, so no, it should not.

Then again who cares about classifications of games.

the game doesn't try to scare you.
it's more or less the lore just being slightly disturbing (or straight up depressing for some), but it's not meant to scare you.

A psychological horror game in the sense that the lore might relate to you and disturb you.
