I'm near the end of watching this right now, and wanted to share it. Jacob Geller is a game analysis YouTuber who takes a look at games through a more artistic lens, and just uploaded a video within the last hour titled "An Uncanny Reality". It talks about a few games, but 4/5ths of the video are focused squarely on Silent Hill 2 and Devotion (the game by the people who made Detention that's pulled off shelves). It's a deep dive not into the usual "Uncanny Valley" that most people think about, but how some games, and these two games in particular, use uncanniness to great effect to create a strange but compelling atmosphere that jumbles the feelings of the player effectively and draws them more into the experience and mindset of the player character and story.
I think it's an excellent video, and curious what Era thinks.
