half life 2 and amnesia some 15 years ago
sad satan
sonic cd sound test (NTSC)
anyone got some spooky indie shit?
>>739865251Routine wasn't amazing or big think but Entity A disturbed the fuck out of me.
>>739865251Silent Hill 3
>>739867189Same. Moment I realized what was up, I turned off the game and haven't turned it back on.
>>739865251Looks like the stain on my toilet paper after I wipe.
>>739865251AmnesiaAt least initially but now I can't get the voice of that fucking key jiggling retard PEEEEEWWWW DEEEE PAAAEE out of my fucking head all of these years later
>>739867295>he doesn't have phantom poops
>>739867403we now live in a world where people will tell you that this was when youtube had heart and soul
>>739865251Amnesia: The Bunker. I even got that achievement for quitting when the monster first appears completely organically.
>>739867602At the very least we have a word for shit like that now, slop. And what a perfect word for it because it was annoying trash made for the lowest common denominator to just mindlessly eat up. I heard he mellowed out after growing a beard and is now somewhat watchable but I honestly don't care to check.
>>739867189Man that part was fucked upI was really fine with handling the horror for the whole game but that section was fucking stressful and anxiety filled
>>739865251begotten
>>739867902>be me, random engineer guy>reading journal entries about invisible creature>"wow that's pretty spooky, bet he'll show up soon">turn a corner>see an nine foot tale pale, hairless man crouching in front of me>he screams and starts crawling at me at high speed>turn the fuck around and run away>"oh fuck that is not invisible, that's not invisible at all"
>>739865251Lost in Vivo was good
Spirit Hunter: NG and DM & The Dark Rites of Arkham had some damn great spooky moments. I'm about to play Midnight Special; a game that is copying Clock Tower's aesthetic, sound, and gameplay.

>>739865251The new resident evil games are just stressful. Outlast games are demented and sick. An honestly scary game was evil within 2, especially when trying to traverse through the neighborhood.
>>739867189I heard it thumping around first and was confused as I thought the game was only about those easy to deal with robots. Then I saw its hunched shape stomping at me as I rounded a corner. Not even the pause menu saved me. It kept coming and killed me even through the blurred overlay. I literally uninstalled the morning after. I thought I was hot shit because I acclimated to Resident Evil 7, Dead Space, and Alien Isolation wile being a fan of scifi horror.My hubris has been thoroughly abused. Fuck that. Now I don't even know how to get back into it so I'm gonna have to start fresh if I ever get the balls to face it again. You gotta understand that I went into this absolutely blind a day or two after release and this was a brand new kind of monster with new rules that was a complete curveball. Those proportions and sounds alone fucked me up. I didn't even get a good look at the face. Even the sickening green lighting, film grain, and distorted camera made it even more distressing. I mean it. This thing is distressing. Now I know why my mom hates the Xenomorph and calls it "demonic." It's her equivalent of Entity A.10/10 one of the best horror games ever. Worth the decade long wait even though I'm too pussy to finish. Maybe if some freak made porn of it I would be eventually desensitized, but I don't think monsterfuckers would even want to touch this thing.>>739867189>>739868010>>739868187I feel uneasy just looking at these pics. Fuck you for posting it.
>>739865251Played Prey (2017) for the first time last week, on hard. Mimics were somehow the scariest opponent even though they are technically the weakest ones. Also a few jumpscares really got me. Like the dead body that falls in front of your feet after you open the door, etc.Oh and Nightmare waiting for me at the bottom floor of the lobby just after I came out of the elevator scared the shit out of me. Thats the first time I encountered it.
>>739869860One of my most formative memories was playing the RE7 Beginning Hour demo as a teen. The demo appeared as an atmospheric escape-room game with no real danger until it got updated. Then I checked the toilet and found the handgun, which implied that this photorealistic horror game had something to shoot, and following video game logic, would be almost immediately. I quit like a bitch.Another run that I remember had me encountering the door to the guest house basement and just seeing that long, dark descent down without any jumpscares spooked the shit outta me. Then I put two and two together and realized the gun was for whatever the fuck was down there. When I eventually got the courage to fight the Molded down there, it looked more like a panic inducing shadow than the fodder I would be mowing down in the main game. Yet even in the main game, looking down the basement stairs next to the safe room in the main residence evoked a similar flight response.That's what RE7, and so many other good horror games do: It lets the atmosphere and tension settle as much as possible and forces the player to be the one that opens the door to the monster. In a horror movie or book, there's a degree of separation and a inherit loss of immersion as the character is acting independently of the viewer. Having the viewer be an active, immersed participant turns even a simple horror game like FNAF into a consistent yet effective house of horrors.
>>739867189I hope the Alien: Isolation sequel can perturb me like this fucker did. The Alien was a great "Sword of Damocles" but was kind of subdued by the flamethrower, noisemaker, and persistence. Once you learn that constant movement forward and never running cheeses it, it goes from scary to an (engaging and fun) enemy.
The last time a game legitimately scared me was back in 2005 playing HL2. Ravenholm when the fast zombies first appeared.
>>739867014It's not too spooky, but Blood Mall: Retaped is some fun while also having a goofy yet creepy take on a dinosaur.
>>739865251FAITH: The Unholy Trinity was fun, yet mild despite the godly atmosphere. Until You get the camera and see Malphas in the apartment complex.https://youtu.be/Uwo4PqkfiXE?si=d9f8CoHPKzn4HVQ6&t=45
>>739865251Horror is pretty much the only genre I play and I think I must own just about every horror game of note from the 4th to 7th console generations.That said, I think the only time I've ever actually felt scared by a video game was as an elementary schooler playing Fatal Frame II in the dark. Nothing has ever hit as hard as that since.
I replayed Dark Forces and those cocksucking Diagoongas spooked me as much as they did the first time I hate them so muchThere could be one underneath me right now
>>739867189I turned off the game around the part of the scripted jumpscare with him luring at you>he starts patrolling the area>I decide to hide under the piled desks, waiting for him to pass and then move on>while under the desks I can still hear the patrolling music, so I figure he must've gone invisible>keep waiting>suddendly the game must've glitched because the fucker CATCHES ME in what I tought was a safe spot and eats meFirst time in my life that I couldn't finish a horror game due to sheer terror. I should probably go back to it one day, but this experience scarred me for life.
>>739867189Still haven't completed it because of this thing.It's too scary.
Screw games, what is the best horror media around? Movies, books, pastas, anything
>>739872904It was posted in this thread already: >>739872183
>>739872904Alien: Romulus puts the horror back into the franchise with the Newborn. The entire theater went quiet when that thing showed up. Sure, the movie was OK, looking back, but that monster really felt more "alien" than the Xenomorphs. Now that I think about it, its pretty similar to Entity A from Routine.
>>739872904Just my opinion:>booksThe Collected Ghost Stories of M. R. James>movieHäxan or Carnival of Souls>gameRule of Rose
>>739872904FNAF 3 needs it's medal. Springtrap is a creepy design and blends right in to the background until he's staring right at you near the office. Those phantoms do great at giving you whiplash, too.Scott does a pretty good job building atmosphere overall. Put on some headphones, settle in the dark, and ignore the shitty lore and writing, and you have a consistently tense quadrilogy overall.Sure, the games are memed to hell and everyone has watched the Let's Plays but they can stand on their own once you actually play them for yourself.https://youtu.be/K7gKsoSb3H4
>>739872904Books and pastas are good but they don't provoke the senses the way sights and sounds do.Scariest movie I've seen is Skinamarink because it's shot from low angles and everything appears indistinct; it sends you right back to being a child hiding from monsters.
>>739868187Dawg look at this shit. It looks like some analog horror bullshit. >>739872904Lake Mungo. It's free on Tubi for crying out loud. You have no excuse to not watch it.
>>739873431I think Heck was better.Skinamarink was too long.
>>739873043>Alien: RomulusIs it just me or did that movie really feel like an aborted streaming show that was cobbled back together into a movie? It seemed strangely "segmented" for lack of a better word.
>>739873431>SkinamarinkThere's a specific kind of horror that sticks with me, which emphasizes hopelessness and fates worse than death. Those kids were in Hell.There's another movie called Anesidora or something that follows a colony spaceship that went off course and the people within doomed to die. Such an awful fate that sticks in my head. It's like being immortal and being locked in a shipping container at the bottom of the ocean.>>739873526It had the tall order of wrangling the mess that was the Alien franchise. Alien 1 was excellent cosmic horror with a unique monster, but Aliens removed the horror for space Vietnam. From that point on, the Xenomorph wasn't scary at all, and the shitty prequels tried to be high brow while also ruining any cosmic horror the first movie had.I feel bad for Romulus, honestly. It couldn't be it's own thing until the very end with the Newborn because the Xenomorph is so iconic. Alien: Earth, despite its flaws, had the right idea to add more creepy alien lifeforms beyond the familiar Xenomorph. It makes me wish that the cosmic horror stayed and the franchise was more of an anthology of the unexplainable fuckshit that out in space.
>>739873526It was probably the best Alien movie since Aliens... but it was still just 'okay', I thought.Brought nothing new to the table and drew too heavily from Prometheus which is the film that made it clear to me Ridley Scott has lost the plot.It was pointless fanservice, ultimately.6/10 seems fair.
>>739873526>>739873768>>739873816Romulus's biggest problem was that it was an Alien movie. What Aliens did to the franchise is like what Re4 did to Resident Evil. Sure, it's great, but most of the horror was lost. Now the Xenomorph is well known monster that has embedded itself in pop culture. There's no mystery, ambiguity, or dread associated with it anymore. Resurrection outright lampshades this issue when the Ripley clone taunts the guy with the embryo in his chest. Prometheus exacerbated the issue by explaining away the Space Jockey and trying to be high brow with its Bible metaphors because Ridley Scott didn't have a tard wrangler.Romulus had no choice but to be fanservice in order to try to put the franchise back on track. How can you make something new when you have all of this lore that butchered any chance of making a horror tone? Alien3 tried to recapture the horror robbed by Aliens by being as oppressive as possible and failed. Romulus could only manage to squeeze in that newborn alien at the very end to leave on a good note when it could have carry an entire movie by itself.We need new things like >>739867189 to switch up the meta. Horror in film love their iconic slashers and monsters but that iconic-ness kills the horror until what you get is just a glorified SFX death compilation and fanservice.

>>739865251Alien Isolation in VR
>>739865251Subnautica 1>>739868187I can't feel scares by this because I kinda look like it myself
>>739873456>>739874548Lake Mungo is fascinating I watched it recently and i thought the movie itself was actually pretty average and typical, then it just suddenly throws at you a really horrifying concept thats just deeply unsettling. Its a movie thats really carried by that one conceptSimilarly a movie thats actually really average but horrifying in concept was the movie Sinister. Man that movie is CARRIED by the taped killings and the music accompanying it. https://youtu.be/2Wd-1WZ5W2ILegit I think the music used would be pretty good for a Silent Hill movie/game
>>739875017Why did you capitalize "Fuckmeat?" That is the part of your post that disturbs me the most.

>>739873043Yeah, the movie was noticeably derivative but seeing the Newborn for the first time is one of my favorite cinema experiences, you could feel everyone was uneasy.
