Video game horror stories are scary because they're one of the purest forms of "corruption of the innocent" we have in this generation. All of them focus on topics like Pokemon, Zelda, Mario (basically any Nintendo property), and the like because those were the games we played as children. They were safety and an escape from boring and frightening reality. To ruin our nostalgia and turn those comfort items into something that wants to do us harm tells us that nothing is safe, past or present, and can even be a metaphor for aging and growing up, which is scary for anyone.
