    Hi guys I'm working on a first-person horror action-adventure game and would like to know what kind of HUD should I make. Or maybe even be hudless. The game is set in the early 1900s.

    Thanks mates ! :)

    I say hudless for the main part, until there is some action, then have a very small and simple ammo and health display or something like that. Cluttered interfaces make you lose that since immersion that horror games need to be scary. Kinda like the way Half Life 2 did it's hud. Very simple, very effective. Just make sure it's not distracting.
