Yes, because this would make it something special and I like subtle 'horror' or tension more than jump scares etc.
I am the same. The jump scares are too predictable. I prefer something just be creepy. Lurking.
I don't know about it being Japanese. Should remain Rising World. And rather then pester the player, I would prefer they actually made you uncomfortable. Like the first time you go swimming in Stranded Deep and a shark comes close. A bit of panic isn't bad...
