A subgenre of horror, typically horror video games, aiming for and/or attracting a young audience through recognizable and often marketable characters, a theme of twisting something familiar or nostalgic, and ambiguous storytelling that is usually meant to keep the game and discussion around it relevant and viral.
I've been exposed to all kinds of mascot horror over the years, from Five Nights at Freddy's and Bendy and the Ink Machine, to Poppy Playtime and Garten of Banban!
