9 hours of bad acid trips or game based on DMT experience in VR

That's fucking horrifying. I'm literally shaking right now.

LSD is already a ps2 game

>mexican cartel
Nah nigga, if you are doing a mexican horror game, do aztec mythology

>Coatlicue (/kwɑːtˈliːkweJ/; Classical Nahuatl: cōātl īcue, Nahuatl pronunciation: [koːaːˈtɬíːkʷe] ( listen), “skirt of snakes”) the Aztec goddess who gave birth to the moon, stars, and Huitzilopochtli, the god of the sun and war.

>She is represented as a woman wearing a skirt of writhing snakes and a necklace made of human hearts, hands, and skulls. Her feet and hands are adorned with claws and her breasts are depicted as hanging flaccid from pregnancy. Her face is formed by two facing serpents (after her head was cut off and the blood spurt forth from her neck in the form of two gigantic serpents),referring to the myth that she was sacrificed during the beginning of the present creation.

>According to Aztec legend, she was once magically impregnated by a ball of feathers that fell on her while she was sweeping a temple, and subsequently gave birth to the gods Quetzalcoatl and Xolotl. Her daughter Coyolxauhqui then rallied Coatlicue's four hundred other children together and goaded them into attacking and decapitating their mother. The instant she was killed, the god Huitzilopochtli suddenly emerged from her womb fully grown and armed for battle. He killed many of his brothers and sisters, including Coyolxauhqui, whose head he cut off and threw into the sky to become the moon.

Are there any ayylmao horror games?

Prey is kinda close but most of the "horror" was the fucking indian ghost bullshit and not the ayys.

>In Aztec mythology and religion, Xipe Totec or Xipetotec ("Our Lord the Flayed One") was a life-death-rebirth deity, god of agriculture, vegetation, the east, disease, spring, goldsmiths, silversmiths, liberation and the seaso

>Xipe Totec connected agricultural renewal with warfare.[8] He flayed himself to give food to humanity, symbolic of the way maize seeds lose their outer layer before germination and of snakes shedding their skin. Without his skin, he was depicted as a golden god. Xipe Totec was believed by the Aztecs to be the god that invented war....Xipe Totec is associated with pimples, inflammation and eye diseases,[11][12] and possibly plague.

>Annually, slaves or captives were selected as sacrifices to Xipe Totec. After having the heart cut out, the body was carefully flayed to produce a nearly whole skin which was then worn by the priests for twenty days during the fertility rituals that followed the sacrifice.This act of putting on new skin was a ceremony called 'Neteotquiliztli' translating to "impersonation of a god". The skins were often adorned with bright feathers and gold jewellery when worn. During the festival, victorious warriors wearing flayed skins carried out mock skirmishes throughout Tenochtitlan, they passed through the city begging alms and blessed whoever gave them food or other offerings.[6] When the twenty-day festival was over, the flayed skins were removed and stored in special containers with tight-fitting lids designed to stop the stench of putrefaction from escaping. These containers were then stored in a chamber beneath the temple.

>In Aztec mythology, a Tzitzimitl is a deity associated with stars. They were depicted as skeletal female figures wearing skirts often with skull and crossbone designs.

>The Tzitzimimeh were also associated with the stars and especially the stars that can be seen around the Sun during a solar eclipse. This was interpreted as the Tzitzimimeh attacking the Sun, this caused the belief that during a solar eclipse, the tzitzimime would descend to the earth and devour human beings. The Tzitzimimeh were also feared during other ominous periods of the Aztec world, such as during the five unlucky days called Nemontemi which marked an unstable period of the year count, and during the New Fire ceremony marking the beginning of a new calendar round - both were periods associated with the fear of change.

Essentially, they were undead spirits of women who died in childbirth (wikipedia neglects to mention this) reborn as spooky skeletons whose joints were made out of stars (yes, stars, like the sun; it also neglects to mention that) that try to devour the sun and end reality for the 5th time (since they had done so 4 times already) Sacrifices powered the gods so they could stop them.

Also, they were futa's and had rattlesnakes for dicks.

I've said it before and I will say it again.

Fromsoft needs to make a Aztec souls game

That's metal.

A haunted house

>In Aztec mythology, Ītzpāpālōtl "Obsidian Butterfly") was a fearsome skeletal warrior goddess who ruled over the paradise world of Tamoanchan, the paradise of victims of infant mortality and the place identified as where humans were created

>Itzpapalotl's name can either mean "obsidian butterfly" or "clawed butterfly", the latter meaning seems most likely. It's quite possible that clawed butterfly refers to the bat and in some instances Itzpapalotl is depicted with bat wings. However, she can also appear with clear butterfly or eagle attributes. Her wings are obsidian or tecpatl (flint) knife tipped.[3] (In the Manuscript of 1558, Itzpapalotl is described as having "blossomed into the white flint, and they took the white and wrapped it in a bundle.") She could appear in the form of a beautiful, seductive woman or terrible goddess with a skeletal head and butterfly wings supplied with stone blades.

.Itzpapalotl is the patron of the day and associated with the stars Cozcuauhtli and Trecena 1 House in the Aztec calendar. The Trecena 1 House is one of the five western trecena dates dedicated to the cihuateteo, or women who had died in childbirth. Not only was Itzpapalotl considered one of the cihuateteo herself, but she was also one of the tzitzimime, star demons that threatened to devour people during solar eclipses.[3]

>As the legend goes, Itzpapalotl fell from heaven along with Tzitzimime and several other shapes such as scorpions and toads. Itzpapalotl wore an invisible cloak so that no one could see her. At some times, she was said to have dressed up like a lady of the Mexican Court, caking her face with white powder and lining her cheeks with strips of rubber. Her fingers tapered into the claws of a jaguar, and her toes into eagle's claws.

tl;dr, skeleton war goddess with claws with wings made of knives who was born alongside scorpions and toads, and who was queen of the star eating rattlesnake futas I just mentioned

>Tezcatlipoca was a central deity in Aztec religion... he is associated with a wide range of concepts, including the night sky, the night winds, hurricanes, the north, the earth, obsidian, enmity, discord, rulership, divination, temptation, jaguars, sorcery, beauty, war and strife. His name in the Nahuatl language is often translated as "Smoking Mirror"

>When depicted he was usually drawn with a black and a yellow stripe painted across his face. He is often shown with his right foot replaced with an obsidian mirror, bone, or a snake—an allusion to the creation myth in which he loses his foot battling with the Earth Monster. Sometimes the mirror was shown on his chest, and sometimes smoke would emanate from the mirror. Tezcatlipoca's nagual, his animal counterpart, was the jaguar and his jaguar aspect was the deity Tepeyollotl ("Mountainheart"). In the Aztec ritual

>Tezcatlipoca’s main feast was during Toxcatl, the fifth month of the Aztec calendar. The preparations began a year earlier, when a young man was chosen by the priests, to be the likeness of Tezcatlipoca. For the next year he lived like a god, wearing expensive jewellery and having eight attendants. "For one year he lived a life of honor," the handsome young man "worshipped literally as the embodiment of the deity" He would marry four young women, and spent his last week singing, feasting and dancing. During the feast where he was worshipped as the deity he personified he climbed the stairs to the top of the temple on his own where the priests seized him, a time in which he proceeded to symbolically crush "one by one the clay flutes on which he had played in his brief moment of glory," and then was sacrificed, his body being eaten later.

This guy also has a myth about him where he tricked a Toltec king into having sex with him by transforming into THICC women, which i'll post when i'm done dumping batshit gods

Old school Biblical Angels -- The Horror

Seriously, go read some old testament. The descriptions for the Angels are fucking horrifying. Pic related.

This is Azrael. There is supposed to be like several thousand eyes, several hundred arms and lives in some spooky space lake

A FUCKING

Here is another. Actually, I'll just post a few of the more terrifying.

>In Aztec mythology, Tlazolteotl (or Tlaçolteotl, Nahuatl pronunciation: is a goddess of purification, steam bath, midwives, filth, and a patroness of adulterers. In Nahuatl, the word tlazolli can refer to vice and diseases. Thus, Tlazolteotl was a goddess of filth (sin), vice, and sexual misdeeds. However, she was a purification goddess as well, who forgave sins and cured diseases caused by misdeeds, particularly sexual misdeeds.[1] Her dual nature is seen in her epithets; Tlaelquani ('she who eats filth [sin]') and Tlazolmiquiztli ('the death caused by lust'), and Ixcuina or Ixcuinan ('she of two faces')

>According to Aztec belief, it was Tlazolteotl who inspired vicious desires, and who likewise forgave and cleaned away the defilement of sin.[4] She was also thought to cause disease, especially sexually transmitted disease. It was said that Tlazolteotl and her companions would afflict people with disease if they indulged themselves in forbidden love.[5] The uncleanliness was considered both on a physical and moral level, and could be cured by steam bath, a rite of purification, or calling upon Tlazolteteo, the goddesses of love and desires.

>Tlazolteotl was called "Goddess of Dirt" and "Eater of Ordure" with her dual nature of goddess of dirt and also of purification. Sins were symbolized by dirt. Her dirt-eating symbolized the ingestion of the sin of those who confessed, and in doing so purified it.[6][7] She was depicted with ochre colored symbols of divine excrement around her mouth and nose.[7] In the Aztec language the word for sacred, tzin , comes from tzintli, the buttocks, and religious rituals include offerings of "liquid gold" (urine) and "divine excrements"

That's right, they not only had a fetish and degeneracy god, but she was also a goddess of scat. SMT even had her coming up out of a toliet.

I'd also be down for this, old testament gets pretty batshit crazy too

Alien Isolation?

...

Post its mother

Here's the myth I was talking about with tezcatlipoca

I hate power metal but that album is pretty great

cant find this spooky. It's just too abstract, it's like some kind of weird fantasy setting

I'm pretty sure this one is supposed to be Castiel.

Of course, how the fuck did I forget about that one.

Still I meant more with the little green men/greys type, super intelligent ones.

Ride with large marge

...

Exert from
>And this was their appearance: they had a human likeness, 6 but each had four faces, and each of them had four wings. 7 Their legs were straight, and the soles of their feet were like the sole of a calf's foot. And they sparkled like burnished bronze. 8 Under their wings on their four sides they had human hands. And the four had their faces and their wings thus: 9 their wings touched one another. Each one of them went straight forward, without turning as they went. 10 As for the likeness of their faces, each had a human face. The four had the face of a lion on the right side, the four had the face of an ox on the left side, and the four had the face of an eagle. 11 Such were their faces. And their wings were spread out above. Each creature had two wings, each of which touched the wing of another, while two covered their bodies. 12 And each went straight forward. Wherever the spirit[b] would go, they went, without turning as they went. 13 As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, like the appearance of torches moving to and fro among the living creatures. And the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning. 14 And the living creatures darted to and fro, like the appearance of a flash of lightning.

more fitting for an hack and slash boss

Sorry, meant to link chapter. It's from Ezekiel 1:4-28

The rest I could find look more like LSD trips. So I'll just leave it at that.

I wonder if this stuff came from drug induced hallucinations. It kind of reminds of when people talk about weird entities they see while on psychedelics and shit

Some sort of weird meta horror game, You start off in a run of the mill Korean MMO, but as you continue things start going wrong in ways that seem like just simply bad program at first.

You get random nonsensical but creepy messages, and helpful NPCs will start dying horribly for no clear reason. Locations will get 'patched' out and when you ask about them and NPCs that like you've gone crazy

As you'll got on you'll hear rumours of a quest item called the Black Mirror, that let you transcend worlds, eventually you find out the game it's self is haunted by the ghost of an abused autistic girl who killed herself by playing it 13 hour straight, and is waiting for the time for someone to reach level 666, when she will possess the unfortunate player, escape into the real world to get revenge on those who wrong her.

These are the most terrifying. If one of these things appeared in a vission claiming to be emissaries of god, I'd probably kill myself so I don't go to "heaven".

Yeah, same. Still though. That's a pretty fucking horrifying trip. You go down to your local opium bar, and come out seeing some fucking eldritch horror? Nah, fuck that.

I guess you could say it's like a beta test, and the multiplayer function isn't implemented yet.

Yeah but can I fuck her at the end as a reward?

You'd have to take some real heavy dosage to see somethng like that on LSD or maybe DMT. Never went far into heavy dosages but I never saw crazy shit like these images. Would be fairly scarring I think.

You could totally pull something like a cross between The Kill List and Condemned.

>You're a low-ranking mook in one of the cartels, you've been sent into some bumfuck slum to kill some people - even you don't know exactly why, but you gotta do it
>People eye you with fear and suspicion, initially because you're from the cartel, later because of something they can see, but you can't
>Your targets seem to be relatively random people, some criminal, some not, but with each mark you kill, the slums become more maze-like, lit by candlelight, decorated with shrines to Santa Muerte
>You start having hallucinations, people you'd killed start appearing around the slums, dead, but acting like they were still alive
>You want to get out but it's too late
>You're a Saint Of Killers now

What if it was bad opiates or some shit? They were pretty common back in those times. I imagine they didn't have any kind of care for what they sold their customers.

Rural Russia, somewhere in the southern parts of Siberia. You don't even need anything paranormal, it's fucking horror irl.

A halo survival horror game where you don't play as a spartan

>mountains

I think there's a single obscure Wii horror game set on a mountain, and I doubt it's any good. Just navigating a mountain ridge, with the wind, snow and rain, beating the shit out of you in the dark as you're trying to get from one ledge to another would be tense (provided it's got a good sense of scale, an open design and stakes that make failing matter).

Throw a yeti in there or some sort of enemy that stalks you and there's huge potential for a pants-filling sense of vertigo fighting against a need to run carelessly fast.

Horror game concept I've been toying with lately is the idea of a less panned out (literally camera) SIMS game where you are able to create a family and live in a house and switch between your characters and take care of them.

random reality tearing creatures attack the families on a day to day basis and purposefully create fearful situations, because it brings them glee. They are attracted to some of the scents given off when our hearbeats faster.

My main fantasy would be going up after watching movies with the kids, getting in and taking a shower like normal (Like that character did everyday up till that point) and just randomly having an event where a trans-dimensional ugly, amalgamation demon shows up behind you in the shower and fucks with you.

The goal of the game would be to see how long you could survive with out being mauled by these random creatures.

Maybe the demon in the shower kills you instantly by gutting you and then watching what your family does, maybe it leaves after tickling you. Who knows.

The events would be first person, and so I'd imagine the setting as what someone with anxiety experiences on the day to day, or at least someone with a greater fear of unknown, random disturbing entities (Like the odd beasts the bible likes to call Angels, or the Aztec god's, or Cthulhu)

Or I'd guess I'd say the setting is meant to be literally the feeling you'd get after a scary movie, the idea that something could be peering out or invent a way to trick you easily. That "I need to look behind me" feeling

Seconding that as hell

>...where a trans-dimensional ugly, amalgamation demon shows up behind you in the shower and fucks you.

ftfy

A white man gets trapped in Detroit when his flight is stopped due to weather concerns and must stop half way, in Detroit.

You cannot leave the city due to it being the year 2018 and Detroit being a quarantined city.

>GTA game where you can make adjustments to your safehouse
>there's real incentives to actually stay and hang out in your safehouse apart from an assortment of one-off gimmicks and features
>if you pay enough attention, you will find that something is a bit 'off'
>you don't remember placing certain things around
>paintings can start to seem like they're looking at you
>hear some else's breathing
>you could be a victim of a burglary/home invasion at times

>Random grunt and his buddies investigate some planet.
>Turns out there's flood out the fucking ass.
>Buddies get killed and you run for your life.
>Now have to trek back across randomly generated landscapes and dealing with flood infected animals natural to those landscapes.

source on book?

Shit idea: spooky jungles with ritualistic cannibals, snakes, giant spiders, venomous flowers and tree branches smacking yo ass

Good idea: vast open desert with nothing in it but burning sun above you. You're being followed by a group of spooky dudes\monsters who walk super slow. Trick is, you can see them almost always because it's desert and there is nothing to hide behind. You find water, food and shelter occasionally, but the dudes never stop for a second, so you gotta go fast or you get dead
Also the dudes randomly screech really loud from time to time

Something like ODST horror version ++. Sounds good.
>mfw you see some Spartans II getting rekt

>It Follows 2

...

Don't have it, sorry

Aztec user here, would love the shit out of this as well, there's so many fucking ways to do it

Could be just with humans with ONI being huge dickweeds and wanting your head, like a mix between spy thrillers, cybpunk, and horror, could be just you vs the covenant with you on some backwater UNSC colony, or it could involve the flood.Or fuck, even go fullcosmic horror with forerunners and precursors.

>Something like ODST horror version ++

Exactly my thoughts. A standalone like ODST, we need more halo games from the perspective of non-spartan soldiers

I could only imagine what bungie could have pulled off with such an idea

Read the novels.

Check out The Flood (though it's not that great), Evolutions, and the Forerunner books.

though two of the best flood bits from the first two are adapted to motion comics, for a terminal and then for waypoint. Note that the second video is over an hour long here, it's basically a movie.

There's also a really fucking fantasic dialogless comic in the graphic novel called Breaking Quarantine, pic related

Wrong image

Will check the second video out, thanks user

again, this is just too silly to be horror
