Silent Hill: The FPS
>>17361339
I haven't played a lot of scary vidya but I'd have to say that the scariest was bioshock. (I know)
>>17361339
Metro 2
Game should have won awards amn, I love how it moves from one gameplay area to the next with a few relax periods between to grab some ammo and get a striptease or whatever. Masterful game. The scary parts are when you are running low on bullets and swarms or horrific beastly monsters are running toward you. You're backtracking through the level in reverse until you take a wrong turn and hit a dead end, bam! out of ammo, switch to your shotgun, only 6 shots then a loooong reload. Nevermind they ate your face. Or when you're above ground in the fallout and need to find some air filters cause you only have 40 seconds left on your last one cause you decided to go exploring halfway through. Gasp gasp gasp oh shit I fell in the water, where the fuck did these creatures come from mutant cockroaches?!
It's an awesome game, good for jump scares too.
/positivereviewover
Yeah metro was fun but I never ran out of air filters, some choking moments but that was more funny then scary.
The monsters were LoL. I did enjoy the weird plot, and the hidden ending.
>on PC
Parts of Diablo 1 are pretty creepy, if you're playing by yourself. Especially when you get to the catacombs part where it's dark as fuck, and the caves. I still play D1 every couple years.
>>17361339
SCP: Containment Breach
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
When I found my first bloodsucker I shat briks
Amnesia: The Dark Decent was scary.
Also, idk if u can get for pc, but Fatal Frame 2 was really scary, think we played it on ps2 at the time, would have to take breaks, my friend got nightmares from it he said, pretty intense, haha. Never played it, but i'm sure the first Fatal Frame is probably spooky too. Can you get Decay on PC? they were like indie 360 games, had some spoops, and interesting puzzles. Resident Evil 4, classic spoops. I feel like we used to play alot of scary games, i'm gonna ask my friend if he remembers any of them
>>17361339
> Orphanage in Thief: Deadly Shadows
Was playing through the game with 2 friends and this level was something else. The atmosphere and tension in this level was remarkable. Years later I read that many people felt the same and it is considered one of the scariest levels in history.

Quake 4 had a creepy fps feeling throughout the entire game.
>>17361339
not really scary, bit knowing your character could die and the game would go on without them led to some really tense monents the first time playing

>condemned: Criminal Origins
Literally the scariest games I've played.
Scared me when i got the game and it still scares me now.
The second was not scary at all (at least not as scary as the first one). Except the parts with the weird ass black goo creatures, i fucking hate those parts.
>>17361433
Fatal Frame 1 is less spooky and quite unmemorable game really. They got it right in FF2. Also FF3 is awesome, it's like an improved version of FF2 and there are levels where you are in a modern Japanese house and it makes you feel exactly like you're in Ju-On. Fuckin love this game. Gutted that I'll never play FF4, fuckers only released it in Japan. I heard there's a fan made translated version but fuck if I'm going to search for it.
>>17361458
Are you a fuckin teenager? I was playing spoopy games when Outlast's creators were sucking their mama's tits.
>>17361433
>Resident Evil 4, classic spoops
you know, back in 1998 Resident Evil 1 and 2 were pretty darn spoopy (Zombies were still moderately scary back then because they hadn't been done to death yet). The beginning of RE2 before you make it to the police station where you start out surrounded, gradually run out of bullets because there's nowhere near enough, and finally limp your way into the police station — and then its full of dead guys and fuckin' pic related. The unkillable, mutating g virus boss thing was pretty scary too, at least when I was ten
>>17361339
s.t.a.l.k.e.r with some mods,
>>17362154
This guy is correct.
>>17362053
Fatal Frame 2 is the shit, I thought it had the best story of the initial trilogy. Isn't FF4 a Wii U exclusive? Heck, if ZombiU got a port, who knows...
>>17361770
Its Cry of Fear
>>17361402
It wasnt that spoopy right? Maybe because I played it on normal. I thought the game was beautiful, storywise and gameplay.
>>17362042
thanks mate ive been looking for somethign like this for awhile now. lists some of my favorites so i know i can trust the other recommendations, despite them not coming up in basic google searches for spoopy games.
>tfw you enter X-18 for the first time
Nothing quite like being a rookie stalker, doing your first playthrough of Shadow of Chernobyl, I envy those who can still experience such joys.
>>17362059
Not that poster, but...
OP didn't say it had to be an OLD spoopy game???? He's asking for scary PC games in general. Outlast definitely makes that list.
Yume Nikki and LSD are still on another level for me of creep the fuck out factor. It gets so bad the chills and fear that I can only play them in short bursts with months in between. Its been like this since 2009.
>>17362293
You're THAT afraid of them? LSD isn't spooky at all, unless you're afraid of textures getting fucked up?
>>17362302
yes, I play them in short bursts for a period of time and then don't touch for months.
Hell its taken me 13 years to start watching Lain again. I originally watched it on TechTv.

Sonic 06
Silent Hill The Room was creepy af. The blair witch project games are also extremely unsettling.
Its not meant to be scary but try an old 90s game called Riven, the atmosphere is the most unsettling of any game I've played
>>17362399
fuck, sauce on that pic please? i remember that from years ago but cant remember what its from
I really liked F.E.A.R. (First Encounter Assault & Recon). Hell of a twist at the end, and it's use of sound effects was masterful. It will train you to expect creepy shit with certain sounds, then uses that to fuck with you, like hearing the sound effect and seeing nothing, and when you're like "WTF, was I turned the wrong way and miss it or something?", you let your guard down, turn a corner and BAM! I loved it.
F.E.A.R. 2 was the best one in my opinion, had even more creepyness as well as action, and kept the two balanced well like the first one.
F.3.A.R. kinda sucked by comparison, less creep factor in exchange for jump scares, gore, and more action. It isn't total shit, though, and would recommend playing it if you liked the first 2 if not for the sake of completion and knowing how the story ends.

Ah yes. Bumfights unleashed. 2x4 with nails to the crackhead's temple. I rather liked that HP Lovecraft Dark Corners of the Earth for Xbox
Just recently played through slender the arrival. It for sure had its scare factor, i refused to playvduring thebdaytime or with lights on, not to mention i did console version which helped add to the fear seeing as how it was on my 55 inch tv. All in all i ended up a hit more frustrated with the game than scared when all was done. Certain shitty spots pull you out of the experience
Tomb raider 3.
Tutorial mission.
You're in a mansion. Somewhere there is a creepy butler with a tray who will follow you. You can hear the clanking of his butler tray; it is your only warning of his approach. It is the sound of terror, and upon sight you will hear his old man moans. He gasps, wheezes, rattles his tray, and then croaks something unintelligible at you. His small, beady, demonic eyes are always on you. You can lock him in the freezer, but sometimes he gets out. He's always hunting you. Always following you. If you stay still for too long, you will hear that dreadful clanking of his tray.
The butler cometh.
... Seriously it creeped the crap out of me.
Any horror game that gives you the ability to kill the creatures is not fucking scary at all. How does feeling invincible make you afraid?
You don't feel exposed. You don't feel vulnerable or hopelessness. You have power and intelligence over the creature, so what's to fear? The way it looks?
Maybe it's just me, but those games do nothing fo rme

fatal frame scared me for this reason. you can weaken and sometimes take out the ghosts with the camera - but you're still wandering around with a camera and i found that premise to be frightening, i also liked that even the item screen wasn't safe from spoops
>>17363127
It's not scary at all if you can only run away from the monsters. In outlast you stop caring about the monsters eventually because you can out run them. Even if they hit you, you will recover fast.
In alien isolation you stop giving a shit about dying because you die all the time.
>>17361421
This
I didnt expect much of it but goddamn it was really good.
>>17363415
True you can out run enemies, but if you couldn't, then enemies in the game would be too hard.
Imagine if every single time a monster saw you, it basically meant death. it would get frustrating quick
SOMA had it setup to where you're in a maze every time you encounter a creature, so trying to outrun them usually meant running into a dead end and being fucked. Actually running away is probably the worst thing you could do, so you had to crawl and hide somewhere, and hope that it didn't move too close or it'd kill you.

The Long Dark is not scary really unless your fear is being alone in the middle of nowhere with wolves, bears, and deer that don't attack first. (unless in hard mod)

It's called Metro Last Light, not Metro 2, get it right
>>17363127
>>17363415
>>17363438
Either of the two extremes totally sap the tension out of the game. I found amnesia to be totally dull and boring once I discovered there was literally nothing I could do to defend myself against the monsters.
Get some scary music and some shuffling? Go run and hide until it stops. Ad infinitum.
That's why games that allow you to fight the monsters, but make the fights challenging and unpredictable, are always the scariest.
Those moments where you are deciding, fight or flight, and knowing that either option isn't going to be easy, are what really gets the heart pumping. It's really a shame that so many modern 'horror' games fundamentally fail to understand this.
>>17363127
games where the only option is to run and hide do nothing for me
there is no "fight or flight" response, only "flight" - there's no choice
that's just lame IMO
games that don't punish you for dying also suck

Point is you can't call someone a pleb for not mentioning freakin Outlast, a freakin 2 year old game which will scare you only if it's the first spoopy game you played in your life. Or if you're in one of those "faggots react" videos.

David's Firth's performance in this game (he plays two characters) is mortifying.
I'd also recommend Downfall (the original. The remake, which I finished this morning is okay, but there is just something so disturbing about the original. I loved its atmosphere as well.)

>>17362053
I dunno, I think FF1 is a lot more spooky than 2, you can tell that scares were their primary target while in 2 the story was definitely the central draw though.
100% agree about 3 though, the best of the franchise imo. It has this unique and fantastic atmosphere, cold/tranquil/claustrophobic/isolated/dreamy/disorientating/oppressive all in one, it's really amazing- legitimately my favourite game of all time. Just one of those games that clicked perfectly with me. I really wish it got more attention in gaming media, because I seriously think it's a "games-as-art" contender on the level of like Silent Hill 2.
4 was as good as 1 and 2 imo. A lot less scary, but its art direction is fantastic and the story very interesting, if riddled with plotholes. That doesn't sound very good, but I feel its ones of those games where it's more than the sum of its parts.
>>17368048
Oh and 5 is legitimately shit lmao. Like, a complete disaster, with shit like retcon incest children thrown in.
This lady was one of the few redeeming features.
Forbidden Siren is amazing too if you can make it past the difficulty. 2 is just as good, pic related.
Lone Survivor.
Pixelated horror game. Pretty good and can deliver in the horror department.
It has a really nice atmosphere if that's what you're looking for.
>>17368071
Yeah good games. I remember 2 had an awesome final boss. Haven't played 3 because I never owned a ps3.
Power Drill Massacre
>>17361437
this.
i knew of this part a bit before and it's the biggest reason why i bought the trilogy. it's just so nice how they build up a setting that isn't really horror and then but in this part that works so well. it was almost like the slow passed story in the games was mostly made for this part.

The game mode where you had to hunt for items above ground was amazing, a little short thought.
Going out into the closed off world full of mutants, starting out with nothing but the worst possible items. It had a good sense of progression.
>>17370516
Kshatriya was amazing. I'm really hoping that the next Metro takes more of a lead from it. I loved the more free form exploration and the comfy feeling of taking your loot back to base. It really started to capture that stalker feeling.

The game also had nice scenes, most of them were decently scary if you were playing at the difficulty where its actually difficult, the mission where you start off deep in a spider infested sewer system or whatever it was, got a decent spook out of me, until it turned full rambo.

I got stuck on part 4. Couldn't seem to figure out how to progress inside the house. Never beat it. Dad bought a 360 to play Fable and Red Dead recently so I may redownload the Decay games. Spooky point and clicks are fun.
I played a lot of scary flash games back in the day. Really enjoyed them. I remember a few point and clicks on Kongregate before the Gamestop acquisition. One where you were in jail and a huge monster appeared, another thatvwas like a haunted house (SUPER scripted) and I feel like I'm forgetting one... I know that The Last Stand 1-2 used to freak me out as a kid, but zombies aren't scary to me anymore.
>>17362051

You already posted a screenshot from the most scary game.
First few parts were pretty spooky with the insane asylum and the twins house, as things go on they become considerably less spooky though.
/x/ is the most scary thing you can play on PC.
Eversion
It just starts bright colorful and happy then level by level it descends into a frightening lovecraftnian experience of madness. The true ending is cool af
I don't enjoy playing video games in the horror genre, but I generally enjoy reading the plots and watching others play. The Screecher is a Don't Starve mod released by the devs, and that has had me spooked to go anywhere near the woods at night for a while. It's full of jump scares, but it's a fun experience.
>>17370911
yeah, I went back thing to kill Ethan on purpose and it didn't work, Im assuming scott is the same considering the ending. everytime I tried to draw out his timed sequences nothing happened it he just walked away from it or something. I really wanted to see norman get it on with the sexy reporter

Everything moves so slow in that level though, there's only a few moments where you can stop running and just die.
Valve put way too many safety nets in that level, just crawl under a spinning blade or hide behind a fire until everything chasing you dies.
>>17361402
Actually I would argue that Metro 1 was much more spoopy. The atmosphere made you feel dread and hopeless. Not to mention the ghost parts. Both games were masterpieces but the second one lost luster because humanity seemed to have found some hope in survival by the beginning of Last Light. Kind of kills the terrors of the Metro if you're armed to the teeth.
Tl;dr ahead
>half life games
Not really spoopy as the other ones, but it had its moments, the ambient sounds from the later games were always so creepy like all the other odd shit with the gman and combine advisors
>fear series
Pretty messy schooter, blood everywhere, some memorable scares, fun games overall
>call of cthulhu
Good grim atmosphere, the sanity meter adds to the uneasy feeling you get when playing it. The hotel escape in the beginning was intense. A good example of a game that doesnt let you gun your way through the enemies as easily as any cod would.

>>17361458
Plebs for not mentioning a game that isn't remotely scary due to its unbelievably repetitive nature. They relied completely on jump scares. They lose fear value after 3 in a row. Basically a walking simulator of someone who has a 4 year old who jumps out to scare you all the time. They might get you a few times but then you know little Tommy is gonna be around on of those corners. I'd give it a 2/10. 2 being the amount of times it scared me.
>>17373902
I wouldn't even call it fear, it's just being startled. Layers of Fear has moments where you want you don't actually want to go into certain rooms or turn around at times because you've heard something and are actually afraid to find out the source of it.
Protip: don't turn around

>>17373916
It's a waved based co-op survival game with horror skins but isn't scary at all.
So it's survival (but only on Hard and higher)
>>17362042
Shadow Man is probably my favorite game ever, along with the sequel. Shit still gives me big nostalgia feels/creeps me the fuck out in some sections. Highly reccing
>>17371118
This one part really freaked me out. I agree with >>17373108 but when that first speedfreak zombie charges you with that scream I didn't know what to do.
STALKER
Silent Hill 1, 2, 3, 4, PT
Fatal Frame
Amnesia
Resident Evil 1 and 2
>>17361437
This!
not scary but sure fit /x/ theme and ppl
it's called harvester
>>17361432
Seconded.
>>17361402
Metro Last Light is the only game that I've ever found too bleak to finish.

well said outlast was shit
was spooped by atmosphere and treaded very cautiously for probably 30 minutes then realized every single time you see a locker or beds or a vent, someone is going to chase you soon.
i hate that that is literally the only thing you can do to circumvent hostiles. where is the scare when i 100% know i just need to return to the nearest locker i saw a few rooms back, jump in one, then watch the thing chasing me open every locker except the one i'm in.
also remember that doctor part being lame as hell because it was inevitably trial and error, as you had to go in and out of rooms at the right times etc to avoid him, it was a complicated area to navigate with a lot of rooms/doors and only one correct way out. so after the 5th time he catches you and kills you, it's not so scary anymore you just want to get through this bs
>>17373417
That's the best way to play them
Though one word of advice, play on master, the game was never meant to have lower difficulties so they just randomly slapped on some weird ass stats on everything.
>>17375490
The only thing I didn't like about last light was the inability to kill the little dark one. I wanted him dead when I found him and I most certainly wanted him dead after I had endured his company for more than 5 minutes,
>>17372860
This.
I mean, the murder mystery stuff was a tad obvious to me, but when you realize there's a supernatural twist to everything it makes about 90 percent of everything that happened earlier a bit more frightening when you go through it in your head.
There were little things that made my buddy and I nervous throughout the game
>in the beginning when you break into the house to let everyone in one of the windows is already open
>when exploring the house as Sam while everyone barely is walking into the house one of the upper level doors leading outside is already open and unlocked
>[spoiler]Hannah's true fate [/spoiler]
>[spoiler]finding the film reel about what really happened to the miners [/spoiler]
>[spoiler]learning the wendigo can mimick human speech from the hunter's book, then hearing Jessica in the mine when walking alone [/spoiler]
>>17377398
Also I fail at spoilers
>>17361339
Half-life play it as a kid in 2002, the jump scares was scary.
A few months ago I scored a modded version of borderlands 2 or something from a garage sale
(Spoiler ahead niggas)
After you kill Angel and Roland dies. when you're at the mining place and you're about to turn on the first pump for that mission to overflow the pipe. a face of an eyeless angel oozing/spitting slag or eriduim or whatever would pop up screaming "No daddy No daddy" and end.
I was playing that at 3 am after work and about shit pants.
Nothing 2 spooky tho I guess.
>I took it back, got a refund, the owner explained to me his wife accidently put some of his pet projects into the sale
>>17361339
I never have really dove into scary games, but the scariest I probably played was Manhunt (PS2). I remember a few parts being a bit unsettling and overall I had fun with it at the time.
>>17362042
>Doom for Psx and N64 are obscure and weird due to the BGM, PC and other ports are action-fps.
>Far Cry 1 was semi-horror
>Bioforge isn't on the list, and was the predecesor of Dead Space
>Diablo 1 was semi-obscure rather creepy than its sequels
>Super Castlevania IV is creepy
>>17377466
>Borderlands 2
>"Modded"
>Scary
Quit Roleplaying you little faget.
>>17377485
>Implying that Super Castlevania IV was scary
are you retarded?
>>17362242
What an amazing game, seriously no other game got my interest as much as this gem did, never got to finish it but got very close, I think I'll give it another shot soon, last time I got to Prypiat and real life started getting too busy for me to finish it.
>>17377504
>Being butthurt about a shit posted copy paste from a deleted /x/ vidya group on fb.
TOP FAGET.
Go watch ur Faze Clan videos anon, you need to calm down.
>>17377471
Yep. Some parts of Manhunt where if there was a supernatural element to a game it would fit perfectly. There are the satanic cults though.
Penumbra was pretty spooky
>>17361339
Play White Day.
>>17377573
Black Plague was pretty good
>>17361411
Agree. Playing D1 alone 2 am 1st day playing, being totally spooked by the music and art design. Have nightmares about dungeon crawling later. Hear something say "Fressh Meat!" in the darkness, wake up in cold sweat. Can't sleep, play more D1.
>>17361997
>locks self in locker
>nothanksnotforme.mp3
Think most people on /x/ would appreciate D. My brother bought this for me on Sega Saturn back then and at the time it was the spookiest, most realistic thing I'd ever experienced. It's still top level story telling in the games medium.
This is a Kenji Eno game (rest his soul), the guy who packed in condoms with one of his games and developed another game for fucking blind people. The sequel for Dreamcast and the digital actress Laura's other starring role Enemy Zero are both worthwhile too but the original D is where my love of horror games probably started.
That said I'm a huge Team Silent fan and probably the scariest game in recent memory is Penumbra which thankfully blew up once Amnesia came out. Oh and laugh if you want but Escapee Go! on Nintendo DS fucked with me too.
Need to play DreadOut some more as well as Evil Within (that fucking giant Sadako monster spidering all over me after I thought I thought i finally burned her to death gave me the nopes...)
>>17371569
yea past the part where you become a tree it loses its creepyness and then the story just gets sad
>>17378546
Evil Within is a pretty shitty RE4 retread, so I'd pass if I were you.
>>17378622
It's a lot more psychological than any of the Resident Evils. I really enjoyed what I played, man, idk.
Scrolling through the thread I haven't seen Sanitarium mentioned, and props to anon who sid Eternal Darkness.
>>17361353
You're so basic.
Dead Space is a fucking classic regardless of it being 'jumpscare the game'. I love the backstory, I love the world its set in, I love the aesthetics, I love Dead Space in general. I even have a soft spot for 3 to some extent.
> engineering will never be this cool
Why even live?
>>17378644
Dead Space had a cool story too, a lot like Jacobs Ladder meets Event Horizon. It was definitely an homage to the genre but it stands on its own two feet. And in the second one you can kick bloated dead babies...?
>>17378644
>tfw you rented those games atleast 3 times each back in the day then bought them years later when you got the dosh
My headcannon said that a lot of the shit Clarke saw weren't straight up monsters, but that being infected by the beacon made people see other people infected by the beacon as monsters so they were all just killing each other in a beacon fueled frenzy of fear and hallucinations.
Not to say some weren't monsters, just that the more humanoid ones might not have been what they seemed.
>>17378140
That's funny, totally had crazy dreams after playing that shit. Makes me want to play it again to see if I still would.
Lakeview Cabin Collection is nice. Pretty fun to play and hard imo. Revolve around puzzle solving and got a few nice random moment that can creep you out. It's worth checking out.
>>17361339
This isn't exactly about vidya that's scary.
Or about being scared, since I'm not scared about this.
But you might be spooked.
When I was an inmature teen, there was three times I bought videogames that were new, and that I had no clue if they were good at all. They were all for the Sega Mega Drive (Genesis for murricans). Other games that I picked "randomly" are disqualified, as they were picked for other reasons, for example: picked by a friend, so they really weren't random picked by me.
So here's the list of the games:
-Light Crusader.
-Gunstar Heroes.
-Dynamite Headdy.
Notice anything?
Anything at all?
Some kind of pattern?
I assure you I'm not making this up.
Yes, pic related, yes.
Without knowing 'em
And yes, I'm aware they are rather unique games from an unique developer.
No, I never saw them on mags, I hadn't much money back then, too young.
Sneak King
>>17379392
I don't get it.
>>17379437
I purchased 3 random games I never knew about for myself (only other games I ever purchased unknowningly were purchased by frinds).
All 3 of them were developed by Treasure.
Treasure only had 5 Mega Drive/Genesis games.
They also happen to be some of my favourite mega drive games, I have other favourites, but it's quite spoopy that 3 randomly picked games ended up being of the same dev, and ending up faves.
It's true, google it, they're all treasure games.
>>17379431
>>17379448
TL;DR
Teen -now adult- buys 3 games because fuck you I don't even know why I want this.
All three games happen to be of the same developer.
And eerily attractive and fun for him.
Sad Satan easily the deep web version. Yes i know its all a publicity stunt but the game is unnerving as fuck
Does anyone remember 'The Last Half of Darkness'??
From early 90's[I think], game put the shits up me.
Not vidya but the boardgame with the VHS 'Nightmare' was good for a scare too.
>>17379431
that wasn't on PC senpai
>>17380719
someone has uploaded the tapes to youtube, it had alot of shitty sequels
>>17380801
I think I might leave the fond memories as is then
>>17363523
>be me
>play soma with friends
>friends are big horror fans
>friends find crossword puzzle more interesting than SOMA
The best horror game ever made.
>>17363710
> outerwilds
> subnautica
Excellent taste
Also, is the other game youre talking about called "the forest?" It is pretty spooky to be building your treehouse then look up and see a cannibal just sitting there watching you. Beautiful game, but fucking early access shit burned me out.
>>17363523
>beliving in people who were paid to have an opinion.
thats pretty stupid
Cry of Fear was a disappointment. I hate any horror game that pulls the "hurr it was all a dream/didn't really happen" twist. It makes the whole game feel fucking pointless.
>>17382731
I think you shouldn't be this critical towards cry of fear. We should give thumbs up to all indies with some kind of potential especially if they are free.

>>17379392
The only creepy game made by treasure is Alien Soldier, and it was fucking hard as ur moms tits.
Return to castle Wolfenstein still scares me when in the catacombs, hell even the poor Germans are shitless.
>>17361458
0spoops/10skeletons
It just turned me on
>>17362042
The PSX is a different system from the PS1, smack whoever made this shit anon
Some would say it isn't scary, and often times it isn't, but DayZ is the only game that's made me lie down on the floor of a building and listen in paranoia for an hour and a half just because I thought I heard a footstep outside.
Games that are not scary (despide what everyone says):
>Amnesia
>FNAF
>Walking Simulators
>Any shit designed for shitty Youtube e-celebs to scream at.
>>17383560
yeah, dayz is fucked up.
i think every approach to other FPS's after that one have been that much diferent because of it.
>>17382731
Cry of Fear was pretty bad. It's like the definition of a jumpscare-reliant game, the story was just edgy tryhard stuff, and the gameplay was a broken mess. That said, I did enjoy the first apartment area which was pretty well executed, and also the bit later on where you go back there.
>>17377411
no spoilers on /x/ m8
and i also like until dawn. didn't find it spooky, but it was certainly a very good game.
>>17380573
The deep web version wasn't real, it was just a fake game put together with edits by the ObscureHorrorCorner channel. There was a fake replica created but it had awful viruses and cp shit in it.
Astrovailient 2 was fucking terrifying, pic very related.
>>17361810

Misery mod
it's stalker with dark souls difficulty
i like a challenging game but misery makes the game too hard
>you sprinted for 2 seconds?heres an asthma attack!
>>17375322
i have to say, i absolutely hate point and click games, and this game, despite being point and click, is one of my favorite games of all time
it's not scary, it's not horror, but it fucking nails uncanny valley, knocks it right out of the park, the background noises and shit
fuck it's a good game, if any of you haven't played it yet, don't skip out on it you won't regret it, and since it's a DOS game it should run on any modern day toaster
Anyone ever play Pathologic?
Its not scary, as much as it is spooky if that makes sense. People have the strangest ambient dialogue.

You've disappointed me /x/
>>17361339
Cry of fear is spooky and all, but Afraid of Monsters scares me way more. It's so much more gritty and jarring. The way that everything moves and how much that game leaves to your imagination is great.
>>17378644
>try to play Ded Spess

Do you like atmospheric point and clicks? Dark Fall the Journal is scary as shit. Could just be nostalgia.
>>17384276
>>17382731
Not just for horror games, it's a terrible trope in general. They teach 8 year old children to never use 'it was all a dream' to finish a story and yet adults still do it.
However I've yet to see a game go all 'Nah bro your character was just psychotic and having vivid auditory and visual hallucinations'
