Immersive story is good. However, you can count on one hand the amount of jump scares that Dark Descent actually had. That's not what made it great. It induced REAL fear in the player through the use of horror inducing buildup. The few jumpscares that existed just added to the fear factor rather than being the big payoff in scares.

Jumpscares are the cheapest and most unimaginative way of getting a reaction from the player. And this poll is missing the point of what makes a good Custom Story.
