AUTHOR-SUPPLIED ABSTRACT: Abstract The gaming industry has witnessed a significant surge in popularity owing to technological advancements. Game developers leverage innovative techniques such as intricate light and spatial design to create more realistic gaming experiences. This has enabled players to feel fully immersed in the game, moving through the created space as if they were physically present in said environment and is particularly evident in the horror genre, where the overall atmosphere plays a crucial role. The objective is to create an environment that closely resembles the real world while intentionally deviating from reality in specific ways to elicit an emotional response from the player. The research aims to offer a deeper look into designers' ability, be it game or interior, on how atmospheres are created and how these strategies can be applied to game design. Further, this research should examine how the atmosphere enhances the gaming experience and to what extent designers can contribute to that or translate it into their profession. Keywords: gaming industry, technological advancements, game design, light design, spatial design, immersion, horror genre, atmosphere, emotional response, gaming experience, designers, interior design
