What is the SCARIEST game you've ever played? At whatever age.
>>737920676A Hat in Time forest level, the section when the possesed granny hunts you..t 30yo
>>737920676subnautica
>>737920676Five Nights At Freddy's 2 in like 1st grade
Super Mario 64 piano
>>7379207422 didn't have the atmosphere the first game did, though it's definitely scarier than every single game that came after 3.
>>737920802I never played 1, some kid brought it to school on his kindle tablet or whatever it was and I couldn't get past 15 seconds before being too anxious to continuesame with 3 when the fire alarm went off
scary maze game7
Back when Amnesia came out, I almost passed out when I first saw the monster in the cellar early on. I could only pkay the game with a friend, alone was impossible.
>>737920742>FNAF 2>First gradeHoly fuck, please leave. I'm having an unc crisis right now.
RE1Those fucking dogs nearly gave me a heart attack
>>737920676Shadow Man was so kino
>>737920676ReMake. Got it because it came out 2 days after my 15th birthday. Had the homies over and it was hilarious. The first crimson head to pop up made us all freak out like little bitches. My best friend was also my neighbor and his birthday was one day after mine so it was a cool party that year.
>>737920676RE-make when I was like 7 years old.I don't really get scared of media anymore, got desensitized as a kid.
>>737921165He said SCARY. Not KINO. Try again, retard.
>>737921121In another 6 years, people younger than FNAF 2 will be posting here without breaking rules and gambling legally.
Silent Hill 3
>>737921121Embrace it nigga.
>>737920676Attack on titan wings of freedom, I was playing it at a time where my dad would sometimes come home and rape me, so I was in constant fear at that time
>>737921157Same. The dogs was like the first ever jump scare for me
>>737921292Did you ever close your eyes and pretend he was a titan?
>>737921157>recently playing Remake for the first time>remember the little cutscene shit with the dogs when you try to open the front door in the original RE1 Director's Cut edition>open door>no cutscene>A FUCKING DOG ACTUALLY GETS INSIDE>try to unload into it and only hit it twice>it jumps on me and rips Jill's throat out>game overWhat in the actual fuck, I was NOT expecting that shit kek
one of the fatal frames on ps2i was 14ish
>>737921121Here's another fun one for you. I originally was browsing this website when I was 14, I'm now nearly 30, was around for when Hiro first bought the website and people doomposted hard because of him.
I know this is gonna be cliched and generic as hell, but the first Amnesia was the first game that genuinely terrified me, I had to play it with a friend over teamspeak.Previous to that I had played many survival horror games for PS1 and the like, but none did it for me.
>>737921224It's both. You try again homo.
>>737921157This Mirror jumpscare got me. Up to that point, nothing shook me, not even the dogs from RE1.
>>737921391I just hit my 20 year mark here. It's like I enjoy being miserable or something shit.
>>737920676Decent 2 at 8. Nothing as an adult has been scary, games are far too predictable for that. Closest thing to a fear response would just be the stress of a high stakes moment in a videogame. Like doing inferno on a HC ironman in osrs.
>>737920676REmake at age 12. Couldn't get more than half an hour into it. Once I checked this gate I was outta there. Came back six months later and played the whole thing.
>>737920676I turn 27 tomorrow and I still have never completed Amnesia The Dark DescentI am too bitchmade for it, but I will highly applaud its sound design and acknowledge that it does some really cool shit under the hood. Youtuber Lets Play Bait games these days wish they were as good as Amnesia.
>>737921224It is both kino and scary.
>>737921535Man this game was something special wasn't it?
>>737921121>unc>saw all of the movies originally that they had to remake for dumb browns>heard all the best music from the last 50+ years before streaming ruined the industry >got to experience the best era of video games ever>got to have sex and do drugs without fentI'll take it
SH2 the first time I played it. I believe I may have gaslit myself into thinking the apartment building was morphing as well, I could have sworn the corridors were getting longer and narrower as I walked down them.
RE1 when I was a little shit. Never made it past the first few rooms
Exmortis when I played it on the pc when I was alone in my house as a kid. Genuinely got shook
Easily Alien Isolation. Nothing else comes close and I've played a ton of horror games.
there's a jumpscare in silent hill 1 that genuinely made me scream. not the cat in the locker. I think it's in the final level, there's an INSANELY loud glass-breaking sound effect and I nearly shit myselfalso REmake, when you're in the residence and you walk through a door and there's a GIANT tarantula on the fucking CEILING
in high school, I played FEARthat shit basically scared me off any other horror games forever
>>737922727Yeah that game has an insanely oppressive atmosphere
what’s the appeal of horror games? why do you willingly want to be scared?>muh adrenalineI might be the only person on this planet who fucking hates the feel of adrenaline rushes
>>737922748I was fearful of FEAR...but the gunplay was too much fun, it ensured I powered through the scary sections. Funnily enough the tensest part of the game wasn't the ghost shenanigans, but the section with these invisible ninjas.
>>737922857It's a safe way to feel vulnerable if you let yourself get immersed in the situation. It's a way to see how you'd react in an extreme situation if you self insert as the protagonist and progressing can feel more personally earned.
>>737920676Soma and Outer Wilds. I have thalassophobia and fear of spaceI couldn't play Subnautica eitherFUCKFUCK
>>737920676Silent Hill 18 year old me wasn't ready for that
>>737922857I like the typically more methodical game play with some kind of puzzles broken up by violent encountes. I like the art direction and atmosphere. I like a life or death kind of consequence to my actions.
>>737922857well, yeah, it gets you going sometimes which is pretty fun
Condemned Criminal Origins, I played it without knowing anything about it, completely blind, over the course of two long nights with my headphones.Shit was tense.
>>737920676Voices of the void. I honestly can't think of any other game that manages to get me immersed enough that it lets the scares pay off perfectly. It maintains the lonely atmosphere but lulls you into the mundanity of the work just enough to get you. It's a shame that it doesn't take too long for you to realize that there's almost never any real threat. But by that point it tries to be more funny. I wish it could maintain that tension longer.
>>737923296Now I feel like replaying the game but it seems the game is not on Steam even though it was released on pc, what the fuck GabeN.
>>737920676I downloaded UFOPHILIA for the Switch 2 and had to close it after 10 minutes, really fucking scary shit.
>>737923429Explain this, lil niggaI got this for free at some point, no idea why or when.
>>737923775This on Steam if you're poor too i guess
>>737923375check the bathroom
>>737923050Outer Wilds turns into a horror game pretty quick when you play the DLC
>>737920676Visage, genuinely cant play that shit. My brother was watching and he straight up walked out of the room.
>>737924031The DLC wasn't scary for at all for me. It's actually very cozy with fuzzy owls. Compared to the base game with the fucking black hole. I closed my eyes if I mis jump in brittle hollow and had such a rough time in giant's deep FUCKFUCKFUCK
>>737920676When I was really young I had the Are You Afraid Of The Dark PC game and it scared me so bad I had to get my dad to play it for me
>>737923296I was so on edge at the start of this, only to swing at a real mannequin to knock its head off or whatever and instantly kill the guy hiding next to it. Couldn't help but laugh and lose all tension, still a great level though.
>>737923296Once I found the taser button, this game's horror died and it turned into a shooter.
>>737920676shadows of the empire, the IG-88 fight when i was like 9
>>737924164Giant's Deep was pretty spoopy yeah, big Thalassophobia attack there especially when you go into the wrong tornado and end up underwater
>>737920676As a kid: 40 winks for the ps1As an adult: Afraid of Monsters
>>737924325I can actually relate to this. It was as scary as facing a phase 1 dark trooper for the first time
>>737924574it was the fact he moved so fast and did these long jumps across your screen so you never could get a good look at him and when you did he was this skinny slenderman-esque figure that was just creepy
>>737921535I has a similar experience. I was exposed to re1 super young. Terrified of it, then my family rented remake when I was like 11 or 12 & was petrified of it after that first crimson head got up. Kept renting it over & over again until I finally got to the lab thinking I had finally gotten over this game, but nah the bugs made me give up
>>737924426>Afraid of MonstersLudokino yet somehow I couldn't bring myself to finish Cry of Fear. I got bored by the forest.
>>737924642For sure he didn't really look or act like anything I had played before. Super intimidating.
SH1 ar age 12, specifically the hospital part where you're bumbling around, exploring, seeing all the looked doors. I remember thinking "wait, did i miss something important, why can't i do anything?" and then floor number 4 button appears and the door opens up to the otherworld. Stopped playing for a week as i had an honest to God panic attack.
>>737923887You had to buy it before a certain point
>>737920676I started playing Condemned for the first time recently and it's the best horror game by a country mile. 99% of mainstream horror games (can't speak to indie) are actually just action adventure games with a horror aesthetic. Even Silent Hill is like this. But condemned? It's got better horror direction than most horror movies. AS LONG AS YOU PLAY IN THE DARK WITH NOISE CANCELLING HEADPHONES. I just got to the level with mannequins in an abandoned department store. I'm expecting some scary enemies posed as dolls....instead this happens>Looking diligently for whatever they will scare me with out at the edge of my flashlights beam >Suddenly hear some bumps that sound like they're everywhere around me...then nothing>Continue before hearing a voice from directly behind me, dripping with a cold calculating disgust and rage>"I'm gonna kill you tonight">WTF>continue on deeper into the store>"You're gonna die"JESUS CHRIST >Suddenly hear some kind of air rushing>It gets louder and louder like it's getting closer>Eventually realize it's the sound of heavy breathing getting right up next to my ear>BANG>A body lands at the foot of the escalator right in front of meThis is just one 30 second section of a level. The game is horrifying and great.
>>737921391I've been on this shit for 14 years, no wonder I keep coming back

>>737920676Played this shit when I was 9yo, when that fucking retard jumped on me from the ceiling I pissed my pants and cried, real story
>>737925698RUH ROH, RATER ROT RAFE, RAGGY!
>>737921224Well, that’s awful rude, anon
>>737921157>>737921306Then the remake rolled around and when you enter that hall and walk past the window all that happens is it cracks. And you're all like "Ha, very clever, they knew we'd expect that." and you keep going down the hall feeling a bit safer since they clearly aren't doing things exactly the same this time around. Which is why they just moved the actual scare down a few windows.The bastards.>>737920676Silent Hill 3 had two moments in it the first time I played it where I had to stop and cool off with warm fuzzy shit, and I played it at the point where I was beginning to get inured to horror media. The first was the backroom with the dress form mannequin. The second was the mirror room in the hospital. Both genuinely unnerved me for some reason.
silent hill 2 remake
>>737920676Low G Man
>>737925635I love Amnesia but hate its consequences to the game industry. It set a precedent of making games for youtubers and streamers.
vampire masquerade bloodlines. when you went into the haunted hotel. never made it past that point..
>>737926301You gotta let it go and enjoy the moment
Not once have I found a video game to be scary.
My first playthrough of Silent Hill 1, where I never turned off the flashlight and aggro'd fucking everything.
Alright this one is lame as hell and not from a horror game, but I've estimated from where I would have seen it first that I would have been 3, so you never know what random things will get you at that age. At the end of the FMV intro for TimeGate: Knight's Chase, the villain appears in a mirror and laughs, then turns into some red eyes.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9HwtRaR5ncI remember somehow getting a jolt of fear from this. I guess I hadn't seen 3D cutscenes in games before. Also there's a bit shortly into the game where the player character is stuck in a closed museum, then the security lasers come on, and he drops down low to avoid them and goes "oh my god!". Because he dropped down I thought he was literally on his knees praying to God to be saved from the lasers. Just kind of a funny mental image to me in hindsight.
>>737922857It's simply the most immersive game genre. If immersion is important to you in gaming, horror is peak.Open world rpgs have nothing on them.
>>737922857>I might be the only person on this planet who fucking hates the feel of adrenaline rushesYou unironically have autism, you brain doesn't know how to handle such emotions and the thought processes involved simply upset you. It's okay, just understand this and add it to the list of things to avoid in your already burden filled life.
>>737927216Try VR
>>737925501Y'all are pissing me off I was able to fucking purchase my own alcohol when the first game came out
>>737920676Minecraft. I didn't like mining alone. Still don't. I can play horror games just fine, but I don't like the feeling of constantly being on alert, waiting to get jump scared. Fear of Herobrine aside, I often get surprised by creepers and end up losing all my hard-earned diamonds...
>>737928275Minecraft with the fog was hella scary.
>>737920676Amnesia the bunker
>>737920676The haunted house in A Hat in Time was pretty scawy >_<
dont laugh
>>737920676I played The Suffering when I was like 11. That shit scared the fuck out of me.
First time encountering the flood in the first Halo game way back in 2001
I used to get scared after dark in the field outside Hyrule castle gates in Ocarina of Time. I don't remember how old I was at the time.
>>737928951also the forest temple's ceiling hands
>>737928987Fuck, I have to change my answer to this. Wallmasters were unreasonably terrifying as a kid. I didn't even like Floormasters because they split into tiny little creepy hands. I could handle Dead Hand in OoT just fine but had to pass the controller to my older brother for the Forest Temple. Freaky hand fucks.
>>737925635For me, it's the sequel.The only sequel.
Little bit intense for teen me
>>737926301The Bunker was great though
>>737930048this is weird to say but i genuinely enjoy playing the bunker just for fun, i think it has really solid gameplay, i've been putting all the difficulty options on their max settings to see how it goesdo not put the "realistic bleed" on, holy shit, worst mistake of my life
>>737920676I was scared shitless of the swamp level in Turok 2 when I first played it. Looking back it was most likely because I was nine at the time and it didn't help that every enemy was a jumpscare in that game thanks to the N64's abysmal rendering distance.
>>737926301I think FNAF did much more lasting and deep rooted damage to gaming and horror in particular. Streaming was always going to take off in the 2010s when webcams were more readily available at a good quality and internet widely available enough for viewing online streaming regularly. Amnesia was one of the first horror games to get a big streaming following, and it has influenced a few too many games to copy its "no weapons, hide from all enemies" approach without any good game design or original ideas to go with it, but that's a more isolated issue than FNAF's truly wretched babyfication of the genre, launching of a billion wannabee money spinner mascot horrors, and most irritatingly of all, the obsession with fanwikis, "lore" and stupid faux-ARG formats.
>>737930175>this is weird to say but i genuinely enjoy playing the bunker just for funDude same.
>>737930292how would you solve my current problem of "i have touched a single puff of gas once and am now bleeding to 1hp forever and have no cloth since i just started and no gas and the monster is hyper aggressive and even more so due to bleeding"?i'm thinking just fucking restart but that's just me
>>737930360I don't believe bleeding affects the monster at all. Just rats and your movement speed.Also, just don't touch gas.
>>737930387i thought it did, he seems to track my trail of blood to my hiding spots when otherwise he'd leave me alone
>>737930048>Pigs sucks>Rebirth is muh baby>Suddenly they remember how to make a game againIt must have been some employee restructuring
>>737930537I would sooner assume you just sprint a lot.
>>737930604i really don't, i do know how to playi mean unless beds and tables are just shit hiding spots but they've worked plenty of times when i'm not bleeding
>>737930649I barely ever see him at all anymore. Basically every run ends with "Times spotted: 0." It's a rare day that hits 1. And I play with Presence, Aggressiveness, and the other stat pumped up and Unpredictable turned on.
F.E.A.R.
was Daniel from Amnesia a chad or an incel?
>>737920676Probably RE3 back when I was 12. Fucking Nemesis chasing me through doors: I couldn't get a good night of sleep for a whole year.
>>737922440SH was always too much of a nightmare already for me to have nightmares about it.House of the dead, back when I was about 8, fucked me up: I just watched a bit of the gameplay demo they have on an arcade and that scarred and scared me for about half a decade.
>>737921224It's scarino.
>>737931104His old man is a Chad, Daniel is a shaky little chud.
Visage in VR
>>737920676Dead Space.Scarier than all Japanese horror games combined. Silent Hill included. In fact i don't find the mainstream J-Horror survival horror genre scary at all.I also thought the Penumbra games and Amnesia the Dark Descent were interesting at their respective times i suppose.
>>737920676Condemned: Criminal OriginsWas playing the farmhouse/orchard level in the dark on a rainy night.
>>737920676That dumbass haunted hotel section in VTMB:Bloodlines.It's all cheap shit and it's really hard to even die there, but for some reason it always fucking work.
The earliest game I remember being scared of was The last world jurassic park for ps1 when I was like 6. I just remembered being afraid to get eaten and die. Also shout out to Croc and it's bottomless black pits scaring the shit out of me.

>>737920676Amnesia The Bunker
Counter strike gives me the worst jumpscares
Darn Shadow Temple
>>737920676Fear 2, easy. I was probably 13, the school level was really fucking scary to me. I was in a voice call with my friends on Xbox 360 as I played it, and I just screamed and averted my eyes to prevent any jumpscares from scaring me while sprinting through the level.
>>737920676It was penumbra until scav/prototype dropped...fuck me that blows all the shit in this thread out of the water. Amnesia is ok but the older penumbra games are significantly better with puzzles/the setting and the darkness/madness mechanic.And scav is literally the antidote to all the normie faggot hide and seek jump scare streamer bait games. Ain't no normie gonna touch that lol the worse you are at video games the more your character suffer
>>737920676Outlast and Amnesia The Bunker
I was 12 when Doom 3 come out and it scared the shit out of me so much I never finished it

>>737936519Adrenaline numbs physical pain
lol nobody itt has played dead space remake
When I was a kid I was too pussy to play most horror games. None of it affects me anymore, with few exceptions. Last time I got scared was playing the Scarlet Cascabel thief FM a couple of years ago when I was was 27. Genuinely fantastic scares.
>>737936678No I have not, what of it/
I watch my neighbour play Resident 1 on Ps1 in like the year 1999 and it fucked me up for weeks, especially the zombie head turn cut scene.Had recurring nightmares of zombies coming to my house
>>737936876it's the scariest game ever
>>737920676That one SCP game where you go down the stairs. Yes, I was a retarded kid, and that made me scared
>>737920676SH2. Getting to the prison after the long walk down the stairs in the historical society was too much for me to handle, I had to put the game away for a week before I got enough courage to continue.
>>737936678I played it and loved it, but I played DS1 as a kid. I think they definitely upgraded the scares (though it still has the DS issue of the music giving away too much) but I'm just not going to feel any fear when I'm holding a giant laser beam that melts every enemy in 0.5 seconds.
>>737936937There's a game of that one? That's the one SCP that ever scared me. I still think of it sometimes and have to look behind me.
>>737920676Alien: Isolation, mindless zombies other games throw at you so often can never be as scary as an intelligent killer.
>>737937149There is at least 3 games about it that I played, it was a huge thing back when youtube let's plays were just gaining traction
>>737920676I'm a horror game pussy so I can only beat the ones that have guns in them like F.E.A.R. or RE 7-8
>>737937314Huh, I don't remember seeing any of them. Weird.
I'm more of an atmospheric horror kind of guy. The kind who prefers Alien and The Thing which builds tension instead of the slasher or the cheap jumpscares most horror movies/games operate on. Peripheral scares and fear of the unknown are also my favorites.If we're talking older games, then the first >Resident Evil was really good at some of it way back when.For not too recent games, >Alien Isolationtakes the prize and changed the genre in the mainstreamFor newer/somewhat newer games, >Mortuary Assistant delivers very well>PhasmophobiaDoes a good job at scares when the ghost becomes aggressive but most of the time you anticipate it, so the scare-factor gets boring quickly.>World of Horror also delivers on the atmosphere part exceedingly well despite being really simplistic graphically, even if the actual scares are practically non-existent. turning on the "real" aspect ratio in the main menu send chills down my spine every single fucking timeRecently, I've been playing >Voices of the Voida lot. I think it's an absolute masterclass and currently the best at building atmosphere slowly, giving you spooky sounds from space to listen to and then breaking it by evoking panic when the monotony is broken with a curveball like something is approaching your base on the radar screen.I think horror works best when you don't actually expect something to happen, like one minute you're playing a job simulator and then out of the blue a curveball comes even if you know you're playing a horror game.I can't recommend it enough. Play that shit immediately if you like atmospheric horror.As for more... "cultured" (lewd) games, >Sin Spiredoes work rarely, but gets repetitive and boring very quickly. It's still an interesting concept in the horror genre.
>>737920676I've never found games scary in the sense that I feel "afraid" but in recently memory I could see RE9 being too scary for normal people to play at all, let alone finish, there are segments that would probably make people drop the game.as a kid? Tomb Raider was kinda spooky in the caves I guess
>>737937729I played Alien Isolation and by the time I was halfway through I just wanted it to be over, I was enjoying it until then but the problem (it's a me problem, not a problem with the game or genre) with hide and seek style horror, is that if you're not afraid it just becomes tedium, y'know? it's obviously a great game and a great horror game but I couldn't get much out of it.Voices of the Void was quite cool
>>737936678dead space is just an action game that begins it's action segments with a loud noise, not a good horror experience.
>>737938102I agree. The overwhelming majority of horror games, Alien Isolation very much included, turns the horror aspect into tedium with repetition in my opinion.They usually start off strong but then you understand the game enough so it loses any power it may have.It's why I sing praises of Voices of the Void day and night. I don't know what magic randomizer algorithm they concocted but it manages to always hit you with a curveball when you least expect it. It takes a very long time to "understand" the game the same way you understand any other horror game.>yeah yeah, alien walks around, I know the pattern, just go and hide and I'll be finewhereas VotV will keep you on your toes with giving you new things for a long-long time.

>>737920676I can't play RE2 or RE3 even to this day because I can't but panic when I hear loud thumps getting louder and louder.If I hear someone walking behind me, making loud thumps and seemingly accelerates towards me, I have to look behind me in a fit of panic. It's like the only trigger I have that makes me lose it.
>>737920676>Stranded DeepShitty abandoned indie game but jesus nothing gets my thalassophobia going more than going between islands on a raft. Subnautica was a close second my first run through, but in that game you can easily get a vehicle that can outrun anything I think.
>Max Payne>The fucking dream sequence level with the baby cryingalso>leave original xbox on all night at the main menu>creepy fucking sounds after idling for a whileclassic
>>737938360>>737938102I have a weird relationship with Isolation and I full-heartedly agree with you two on it getting very tedious.The thing is, the game doesn't turn just casual tedious, but it keeps the adrenaline spikes for me everytime I know I have to hide from the alien in order to progress. It's like doing very mundane things but my heart is constantly pounding and I feel very exerted afterwards.It's not fear, it's just that tense to me and I feel very weird about it since it feels like a mechanical switch to make me nervous with a clear mind. Isolation is a physically taxing horror game.
>>737936275My man. I've played a fair share of horror games but thief3's Shalebridge made me lose my shit more than once.
>>737938842I can see where you're coming from, but it sounds like you were just more invested than I was in the first place, which is fine
>>737930292holy shit isn't the game only around 20 hours long? What kind of autism do you have that can stretch that to 500? Impressive.
>>737920676fuck that beginning with the crying baby and creepy ass metal bird
>>737920676No joke, Clock Tower is probably the most hauntingly creepy game I can think of these days. PS1 graphics are naturally uncanny, but the nondescript nature of the music just fading in while you're trying to examine for clues, and then you never now 100% what mechanic he won't detect next, and how each level is so brief that you haven't memorized its layout as you escape, is genuinely nerve-wracking.https://youtu.be/HAa238LUGA0&t=122
>>737920676Rented OoT as a kid and the tomb where you get the sun song with redeads scared the shit out of me. How they turned the camera and froze you in place and made the screaming sound.
>>737920676Earliest scares that come to mind were jurassic park on SNES where the T Rex chases you and the FPV at 8 years old. Then later on D for the PS1 was very scary and resident evil 1. Then the REmake on gamecube and I could never play it past the first few rooms.

I wish they didn't turn the series into a shitty arcade action game
>>737939028>lighthouse>baby>metal birdDid Levine just shamelessly steal all this shit for Bioshock Infinite?
Definitely Alien isolationNot knowing when/where the fucker would show up and how much noise you could make without attracting it was nerve wracking during the first playthroughs.
A few horror games managed to get under my skin over the years, but the only one that got me to put the game down was pic related when I was a kid, to the point I had to ask my dad to finish the last level of Spider-Man for me.Beyond that, I played through the Rose DLC for Resident Evil 8 for the first time semi-recently, and while I didn't find the baby in the main game scary, the fucking weeping angel mannequins caught me good and jumpscared me more than once by grabbing me when I thought I had enough room to run away from them.
>>737921292Wish you strength in breaking out of those walls, just like the survey corps.
>>737940010holy shit
>>737921165COME TO MAMA BABY!SWEET BABY!COME TO MAMA!FOR WE ARE MANY!
>>737921391I've been browsing this site since I was 11. I am 28 now.
>>737921391I've been posting since 2009 and I've literally been radicalized in the opposite direction because I hate the people here so much
>>737920676Dying light, the first one, inside the buildings.Outside you're having a great time clambering over shit and jumping on zombie heads, whacking them with pipes. Inside you're at the mercy of everything and anything, and it's completely overrun.Just about shit myself the first time I encountered one of those witch-knockoffs.
>>737920676watching my mom play Silent Hill 4 which was running a bit in slow motion due hardware limitation, then she drew those sygil circles on walls. Now as an adult, I don't find things scary or creepy that much anymore..........
>>737940917I still can't muster the courage to fuck with the night in The Beast. They added some new beast volatile on the hardest difficulty and he follows your scent across the map, I always clench my ass
>>737937923RE9 isnt scary
>>737941061Your mother drew sigils irl?
>>737921165sarevok anchovy
>>737920676Can't think of any games that scare me. Not trying to put up a front or anything, but video games have pretty much conditioned the Flight part out of my Fight or Flight instinct. I get a stronger reaction from books or movies.
>>737941670>his mother doesn't do satanic ritualsngmi
>>737939028Holy fuck, THAT game.
>2001>7th grade>get luigi's mansion>pressing the "cry for Mario" button.>feel genuinely bad for Mario>think about my older brother if he was trapped in a mansion>feel bad
>>737938993>20 hoursIt's about 4 hours your first time through, and an hour on subsequent playthroughs without cheesing the game.There's also a small handful of custom stories that are basically the game again, but rearranged. And one that IS the main game, but adds much more randomness. So from the Steam workshop, I recommend>Survival>Burial Ground>Escape the Bunker
