It is horror, but it’s also not horror. StP brings so much more than just horror, it has comedic moments, romantic moments, thoughtful moments, and plenty of WTF moments. And, how it all plays out depends on what you choose.
Steam has a two hour return policy, so I would recommend getting the game, and trying out the opening to see what you think. It’s not for everyone, but if you’re the type who likes to think deep thoughts about the universe like OP posted, then you’ll probably enjoy this game.
So more the kind of horror that Gothic is (thinky horror) than the more visceral type? Because I actually love the more Gothic horror that’s more about making you sad than scared (like Frankenstein), I just hate the feeling of jumping at shadows after a scary movie/game
It will definitely make you think, and feel. Yes, there are some gory moments, and some jump scare moments, but not many. It’s more about unsettling your view of reality type horror.

I hear good things about it, but am not particularly one for horror, still considering picking it up at some point though
