play games that scare you
>>738430713what are some good console horror games that don't get mentioned much?
its a mod, but still scary.
>>738430713Real life is scarier than any horror game when you are an autist.
>>738431250
>>738432076>go in expecting spooky shit>just turns into an edgy civilian shooting simulatordoes it get better?
>>738430713>barely started the game>already too spooked with the kid section in the mall
>>738438120atmospherically thats the scariest part of the game probablybut the house itself has plenty jumpscares
>impossible to get scared from video games>certain pictures and music scores can make it so i can't sleep at nightNot sure why this is
i dont have toi can just go outside and feel a wave of intense anxiety crashing down on me
>>738437676Yeah there's some really cool monster designs and nightmare-esq levels later.
>>738430713any cool horror game rec, the only one i finished was lost in vivo(and votv if you can consider it an horror), i tried amnesia the bunker but dropped it. any cool suggestion
>>738447675Butcher's Creek. You can probably finish it and still be under the refund time.
>>738447707i recall liking the demo during a next fest but then completely forgetting about it, thanks for reminding me
>>738430713how do I stop being a pussy and play one for more than 30 minutes?
>>738430713Visage is the only game I’ve played that actually managed to scare me but the gameplay itself is pretty shit so I never finished it. That old lady is the fucking devil himself.
>>738438120this is correct>>738441196 the game is not so great once you actually get to the house part. so you are getting 20 minutes of decent gameplay at best, in typical puppet combo fashion
>>738441836Post some spooky music scores.
Fucking Minecraft cave noises have scared me more than any actual horror game
>>738447675the penumbra franchise is top of the line for the horror genre and somehow still obscure to most people, if you get through the 2 main games and enjoy it the necrologue mod is very well done as a conclusion to the series and worth playing
>>738431250Horror expert here. Pretty much the only genre I play.The problem is that a lot of obscure horror games on console are either bad or never left Japan. I'll give you some flawed gems.Rule of Rose (10/10 story, 2/10 gameplay)Kuon (see above)Haunting Ground (genuinely good game)Illbleed (janky, but very entertaining. They tried to make a game to encapsulate the horror B-movie and succeeded)Sweet Home (good game)Deep Fear (confused narrative and gameplay design, but has its charm)Michigan (great concept, dubious execution)Corpse Party (good game)Koudelka (great story and characters, questionable gameplay)Hell Knight/Dark Messiah (see Michigan)Gregory Horror Show (genuinely good game)If you can read moon:Laplus no Ma/Laplace's Demon (very interesting attempt at a Call of Cthulhu esque dice-roll combat JRPG set in '20's USA)Twilight Syndrome/Moonlight Syndrome/Yuuyami Doori (all brilliant games)deSpiria (masterpiece)Hungry Ghosts (good game but weird)Not recommend:Calling (good idea, but so slow and wastes your time)Ring: Terror's Realm (play only to learn how not to make a video game. I am a patient man, but this one is horrendous)
>>738449657Of the ones you listed which one would you say is the scariest?
the only game that genuinely scares me is legend of grimrock when the spiders attack you from behindtheir frontal attack is pretty spooky too
>>738449864The Ring, but not for the reason the developers intended.Real answer: probably Corpse Party.It has excellent sound design, so it's a good experience in the dark with headphones.I'm talking about the PSP version, I should clarify (which lends itself well to a comfy horror experience of playing in the dark in bed).
>>738430713>le scare"scare" is for kids and simple minded people, even a child hiding behind a sofa can jump out and scare you. For horror to be effective and avoid becoming trite and ordinary it has to make you feel uneasy, and that takes a lot of talent

>>738448958https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHvwRImMuFY now i'm wondering what kind of music tracks actually gave that anon nightmares.
>talk about lost in vivo ten hours ago>lost in vivo threadI hate the fake internet >>738449050penumbra 2 is better than amnesia and I'll die on that hill
>>738430713
>>738450261>penumbra 2 is better than amnesia and I'll die on that hillalways had the same thought, amnesia was not really that scary and much more scripted/linear by comparison. I do like amnesia's story and setting
>>738449657>Koudelka>HorrorTo be fair the art direction is of horror genre but the fact that it's an RPG, tactical at that, didn't do well to the horror aspect. You can kill that one armed baby faced that jumpscared you in the cutscene as long as you can whittle its HP to zero.
>>738450440Opposite reason, I didn't care for the old ( linear, that's true ) castle with duck faced bare ass retards roaming the halls. The Thing aesthetic is unapologetically kino and so penumbra is better in my book. And you have emergency light sticks, fuck candles and matches. I hated this shit so so much. The bunker too, "let's annoy the player with a meek source of light that lasts seven seconds before it needs to be kick-started noisily again". Really?

>>738450565It's a horror game. It's not a very scary horror game and honestly I think much of the soundtrack provides good music for relaxation, but the narrative is definitely a Lovecraftian affair.
>>738438120I love a bit of Puppet Combo but he definitely leans into obnoxious jump scares. If you enjoy his style of horror it's really good tho
>>738441836>>738450802Made me think of this, genuinely gives me the creeps. In general scratches' soundtrack is very creepy to me.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVuYsnnxA2M
>>738430713Has there been any good horror game releases lately? Preferably something else than those maze runners where you hide in closets half of the play time, those are kinda boring. I'm looking for something more like Cry of Fear or Afraid of Monsters where there is also some combat.
>>738453479nomodern indie horror games are either tranny metaphors for depression/mental illness or time wasting simulators. the best games have already been made
>>738453479There is wicked seed but that is more horror themed than actually spooky. Haven't played any more recent horror games I would recommend.
>>738453563>>738453602Well that sucks. Might just play original FEAR again then. We need more spooky games that are not just about depression or walking sims.
>>738453954not quite a horror game but you might like Northern Journey, the environments are eerie and the tone is overall somewhat dark, also gameplay is focused on combat. it's one of the few recent games I actually consider to be great. there are a few levels that toe the line of being a horror game
>>738454771>there are a few levels that toe the line of being a horror gameI mean Thief has Shalebridge Cradle which is one of the more scary levels that I always think when horror in vidya is mentioned and Thief isn't really a horror game either. The first game's Cathedral levels are also pretty spooky.
