what does a psychedelic horror game mean ?

Solution
This video right here shows you what "Psychedelic" horror is: https://youtu.be/PIWA-9GCydg?t=3m21s
It's about being creeped out by something as opposed to being "scared" of it.
Or like in PT, where you can hear the croaking sound of the ghostlady behind you, and if you turn around she kills you, but if you just hear her and just never look behind you you'll be fine.

sorta like "mindblowing",
like a gun to the head is physical horror
where as psychedelic horror, is the use of "effects" to make it horrific,, sounds, aestetics, "immersion"
i suppose straight up jumpscares could be sorta the gaming version of a "gun to the head = physical horror" because its a cheap trick,
other horror games rely on much more, to make it more "psychedelic"... in the end its just a marketing term, since most of the games that use it arent truly psychedelic
