How important is setting and location to making a good horror game? Pic related, the scariest place on Earth

>an incredibly diverse landscape
Not really. most of the state is a prehistoic sea floor that;s lake country to the north, with some river valleys. On the other side of the river to the south in kentucky you start getting into some foothills.
I grew up in Miamisburg, just outside of Dayton.

Why is there a place named Miami?

>not even sure if it's really Midwest.
Midwest in the US doesn't refer to the middle of the west, as one would assume.
Ohio is the eastern edge of the midwest, and smack dab in the middle of the rust belt.
It also counts as a great lake state because of Erie.

alabama is actually quite nice

california is nice. except for the blacks.

Named after the Miami indians that lived in the area.

this. largely thanks to Stephen King I'm sure, but still.
Foggy little isolated fishing villages and the like.... spooks me good.

The only thing Alabama has going for it is that it isn't Mississippi or Arkansas.

Why did the Indians name themselves after a Florida city?

Alabama is a shithole filled with literal retards

coastal elitists and 3rd world cucks don't know about Gary Indiana

Reminder that Ohio BVLLS took land from m*ch*g*n by FORCE. 600 vs. 1000. The Ohiomensch heroically forced back the onslaught of disgusting, inbred, subhuman monstrosities that wrongfully claimed land in their name. My only regret is that we stopped at the strip. We should have marched on Detroit and burnt the entire place to the ground, killing every last m*ch*g*n dog we came across. I guess niggers managed to do pretty much the same thing, though, it just took longer.

Pic related. All that was left of the mittenbois when we were finished with them.

It's a state with effectively no identity due to being almost perfectly centered in the US. It's sort of midwest, but also sort of eastern, and it's got some southern-like rural areas, and it's got some major cities, and it's got lakefront, and mountains, and forests, and a little of everything.

And Mexicans

The florida city was named after a different tribe of indians called the Miami.

Yeah, the Amish are scary

Miami just means river in certain native languages. Same as hatchee.

Alabama is literally the worst state in the south, right next to mississippi
Literally all the southern stereotypes are based off the retards in alabama

Mississippi is far worse than alabama.

>Hell I've seen ghosts near chillicothes old roads and tunnels.
Sorry, that was me. I get that a lot

Someone get me out of here

Mountains? The southern part of the state, especially around Cincinnati, is nothing but rolling hills but where are there mountains?

Remind me what's so bad about Ohio

There's literally nothing scary about the midwest.
Save for the cities, all you get is the same green field over and over again for endless miles upon miles, with small hills scattered throughout.
It's a purgatory of green flatness.

Born in Pittsburgh, lived in Akron a few years, back to the Burgh, sick of PA bullshit fueled by Philly-shitters state govt side and the damn Allegheny Co fuckheads.

Take me back bros.

Ohioan here. Why is Ohio the meme state? Whenever there's a meme that requires a specific US state, it's almost always Ohio. Why? Is it because we are so much better than the rest of the world?

No jobs, shit economy, everyone's mad all the time, a lot of shitty cities/neighborhoods

Ohio is legit an untapped source for horror shit
>the southern Ohio area around Serpent Mound is the #1 crop circle hotspot in the US, #2 in the world behind Wiltshire, UK
>the strange saga of the UFO flap of 1966-67 which was recounted in John Keel's legendary The Mothman Prophecies wasn't only focused on Point Pleasant, WV, but also played out across the entire Ohio River valley (and to some extent, the entire US)
>Salt Fork State Park is both a hotspot for Bigfoot encounters and UFO sightings as well as at least one abduction report with supporting physical trace evidence
>In fact, pretty much every area with more than 3 trees has some kind of Bigfoot sighting in its history, possibly Dogmen too
>Loveland Frog, Crosswick Monster, Orange Eyes
>haunted graveyards, sanitariums, etc.
>Wright-Pat AFB, home of Project Blue Book and supposed home of a repository of recovered materials/bodies from UFO crashes

There's nothing to do there.

it's a reddit meme, see

It's both a literally who state and the most important state of all. The dichotomy of man in state form.

We Ohioans hold the truth of the world in our hands. When the time comes, you will be begging us for salvation. It will be too late, and we will leave you all to suffer.

This but Georgia if you can get past the humidity.

>Licking

>Most important state of the most important country
Does this mean Ohio is the single most important place on earth?

>Chile becomes Long Chile, removing the entire West Coast and causing the Chile-American war
Sudacabros, is now the time?

Ohio is the heart of it all

maine is comfy, not spooky you fucking quivering pussy.

Virginia is for losers
