One way or another, it is all about the mindset you bring into your content consumption. Regardless of what philosophy a developer uses, if you are planning to binge content you will be prepared to crash course theough it and will experience it more as a rush. It's the thriller variety of horror films. Monsters and danger the whole time. Gore and chases and scares.

But if you go in wanting to consume it in pieces with lulls and time to build between experiences, then regardless of he content being identical the experience will be different. This is how I consider more paychological horror films. That crawling feeling in your skin considering the details of what you are experiencing.

Horror is one of my favorite genres of anything. And with horror more than any other genre what you bring into it is very important. Sometimes you have to plan to get spooked. To get unsettled. Regardless of the content you are consuming you frame it. I watched Insidious in a 120 seat auditorium. Alone. I doubt I would have as fond of memories had I watched it in my living room with the lights with the rest of my home buzzing. So, even if the developers intended an experience as a single sitting, your approach regarding your consumption will change the nuance you get.

I guess that is the long winded way of trying to express that people are active participants with media as a whole and that will impact their experience regardless of a creators intent.
