Dead Space scared me so much it made me numb to lot of horror games since.

I’ve really liked my time with Signalis. It does some neat stuff with it switching between the top down sections and first person puzzles/segments.

Megaman_EXE,

The world building and nods to other horror games was a lot of fun! I hope they make more horror titles in the future

I don’t know if I would call it horror, but Dredge is fantastic with creeping dread

Megaman_EXE,

Ooh I think I’ve heard of that. Thanks, I’ll check it out!

I don’t much like scary games myself, but here’s someone asking /r/HorrorGaming what their scariest games are:

old.reddit.com/…/in_your_opinion_what_are_the_sca…

EDIT: And yet somehow, despite not liking scary games, I’ve wound up owning some of these, like Darkwood, the Amnesia games, Clive Barker’s Undying – which I wouldn’t call that scary – Doom 3, Lone Survivor, Outlast, and Subnautica.

I’ve also played Clock Tower, which was on there.

Megaman_EXE,

I’ve yet to try darkwood, clive barkers undying, doom3, lone survivor, or clock tower. So I’ll have to give those a try.

I’m specifically curious about darkwood because I’m unsure how a game in a top-down perspective could be scary. Same with Lone Survivor, actually. I’ll have to see!

I found the batman vr game on psvr scariest. It wasnt that scary a premise, but because of the immersion, it was extra. You knew joker was in a cell and you had to Kean in to see. Although you knew he would get you, you had no choice. You had to physically force yourself to be attacked bybsteppibg forwards.

Similarly, the jumping off a cliff to commit suicide in suoerhot vr was quite confronting and scary. I think they edited it out.

Megaman_EXE,

During my search, I keep seeing things about VR, and it seems like it very well could be the next big thing to scare me lol. The added immersion might be just the ticket.

hitmyspot,

I think some have said the start of resident evil village is quite scary on vr, but I havnt played it. Probably less so if you’ve already played it. There are a bunch of junonscare games but they interest me less.

How has nobody mentioned Condemned yet? That game is unnerving from the very first minute you start playing.

Megaman_EXE,

Condemned 1&2 are excellent. I would love if they made a game like that again

Blackmist,

Those fucking dummies…

I’m not a horror game enjoyers so my scariest games are Subnautica and Dredge both of which were already mentioned. But after reading some of your responses I’ll recommend you Hellblade Senuas Sacrifice. It’s not a horror game but it’s an incredible intense experience. Headphones are a must tho.

Megaman_EXE,

Hellblade had some of the best audio design I’ve heard in a game. I’m curious what games will take inspiration from it in the future

Easily the scariest was „Amnesia: The Dark Descen“ (2010).

Darkwood. Incredible 2d survival horror game.

The first fear game really scared me when I was younger. I was 16 maybe and that’s how I found out I don’t like ghosts haha.

Playing in ym room at night alone in the dark. Ghosts coming out that I can’t hurt haha

Fuck that was bad

The Cradle level in Thief 3 will forever and always be the scariest experience I’ve ever had in any video game, including horror games. It elevated an otherwise mediocre game to be a worthy entry besides the first two games.

Megaman_EXE,

I’ve never gotten a chance to play the thief games. They look right up my alley, though!

@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

They’re great. Just avoid the reboot. Its developers didn’t even play the old ones.

Megaman_EXE,

Ahh, that’s such a shame when that happens. I’ll avoid it like the plague then!

Some games it was just the difficulty that scared me.

There were plenty of jump scare games that definitely got me like the early RE and SH games. Even Metroid games got me when I was a kid.

I haven’t tried a horror game in more than 20 years though!

cliched yes, but I will always remember how scared as hell I was playing Silent Hill for the first time in high school, when you go down that dutch angle alleyway and the evil toddlers stab you to death…

i couldnt play any more for a few days haha, it was a pretty stand out memory for scary game stuff. Its hard to state how unexpected it was at the time, I hadnt played any early horror games, and I dont know how many similar experiences there were at the time (year 2000ish) so it really was brutal and surprising

Megaman_EXE,

I’ve yet to play the first 3 silent hills. I feel like they’re the elephant in the room for me lol

When I played the original Fatal Frame it was unlike anything I had played at the time. The Penumbra series was also up there.

These 2 series lead to me realizing I disassociate when I watch or play horror and I stopped consuming that genre.

ConstableJelly,

Fatal Frame has gotten lost to history a bit, but I remember those games having the reputation as being the scariest that games have ever gotten when they were new.
