A subgenre of horror game that combines a walking simulator with sudden, jarring audiovisual shocks. Instead of building tension gradually, these games rely on abrupt loud noises and flashing images to elicit quick, visceral fright responses. This approach sacrifices narrative depth and atmosphere for cheap thrills, it is the lowest, cheapest and most abundant form found in horror because it takes little skill/effort.
- Did you hear about that new horror game "Back door horrors 9"? It looks like it's gonna be really scary.
- What? What are you talking about? That's obviously some startle simulator. The entire trailer is just popup images and boom sound effects. It's made for YouTubers to get meaningless screams out of them for clickbait.

Get the startle simulator mug.When you forget you have your computer speakers on and one of those audio alerts (from spell checker,you've got mail,Weatherbug, etc) scares the crap out of you. Can also occur when computer is idle but the speakers are on if you have an Aquarium screen saver.(bubbling water)
