A Winter's Tale

The cold, dark atmosphere really amplifies the suspense, but I wonder if the season was chosen for symbolic reasons or for mood. Was this a conscious decision from the start?

There was a subtlety to the fear that made me question what was real and what was imagined. I'm curious whether others found the horror more about the mind than monsters.

The tempo kept me on edge, but I wonder if the slow build was intentional to maximize tension or if it reflects the character's internal state.
