Night in the woods is an indie videogame that tells the story of Mae Borowski, a college dropout who returns to her hometown hoping to reconnect with her friends and family, only to discover a secret cult held by some of her neighbors.

The game has a cute aesthetic, with anthropomorphic animals who act like people and an art style with vibrant colors and round shapes. However, it also discusses serious topics, such as mental health and the plot is inspired by H.P. Lovecraft’s horror stories.

Doki Doki Literature Club is a psychological horror game that starts off as a simple dating simulator, with a pastel color palette and cute looking characters. However, it soon becomes obvious that something’s off, as characters start acting strange and even dying. It is later revealed that one of the characters is controlling the game.

Little Misfortune tells the story of a little girl who is the youngest member in a disfuncional family and wishes to give her mom the prize of eternal happiness. In the beginning of the game, it is said that she will die, but Misfortune doesn’t know this. Despite dealing with heavy subjects, such as death and alcoholism and even featuring horror monsters, the game has a very cute aesthetic, since the player sees everything through the eyes of an innocent and optimistic 8 year old.

The Jorōgumo is a yokai (which is a term used in Japanese folklore that means weird, bewitching or dangerous supernatural apparitions) that appears as a beautiful lady or a gigantic spider, and it’s known for seducing men into following it to the woods, where they’re eaten.

This myth is very interesting to me, as it definitely carries some creepy-cute themes, with the spider and lady duality.

Persephone’s best known myth is the story of her abduction, and how she became Hades’s wife. She is a source of inspiration to my project, since she embodies the creepy-cute duality even in her names: Kore, meaning girl, maiden or daughter, and Persephone, meaning bringer of destruction. The duality is extended into her divine domais, nature and the underworld.

This game is a dating simulator in which all the characters are monsters who are in high school and the goal is to get on of them to be your date for the prom. The art style and characters are very cute, but there’s also an element of creepiness to the game, since it takes place in a world full of monsters.

This body horror manga tells the story of Fran, a teenage girl who was made by a genius scientist and, just like her inventor, she is a brilliant medic. The art style is very gruesome and there are very forty scenes, especially since the protagonist performs surgeries in a lot of different people. However, she is also a hopeless romantic, who believes in the power of love and always sees the best in people. Despite leaning more into the creepy side, the story also has some very cute themes.
