Bloodborne actually made me physically shake from fear, fear of dying and losing my blood echoes mixed with the creepy and horrific setting.

Really? I was always more intrigued by Bloodborne than any true fear.

Then again Breath of Fire II made me have nightmares and that shit wasn't even scary

Some old spongebob game for Xbox 360 years ago when I was a bit younger. That game had me shook when I was squidward and the fucking plankton bots were around the corner

...

just silent hill 1, really. these eyes have seen too much since to get too disturbed by much. not trying to sound edgey or anything.

Pic related. It's from the game XIII in one of the snow levels some bad guys are making a snowman and you can hear them complaining about how it looks and how wimpy a hiker was who had passed by earlier. You kill the goons and if you walk up to the snowman the icon showing you can break something comes up. If you "break" the snowman it reveals the hikers frozen corpse and plays a really loud spooky sound clip. It's the first time I remember ever being startled by a video game.

Silent Hill: Shattered Memories got me bad because it was the first SH I ever played and I was like wait, I get no weapons? All I can do is run?

Katawa Shoujo made me scared of dying alone.

oh yeahhhh, forgot about that. couldn't you punch or kick till you found something?..... i guess that'd still be unnerving either way

Does it count if the game triggers a phobia?
Because all games about being underwater do that to me.
I had a close call with a shark when I was a kid.

Yes, MegaMan Legends, Old Town.

I hope that series stays dead.

Dunno about scared but Yume Nikki is the only time a game has genuinely unsettled me. Didn't even play it that long or get that far. Just walking around those weird worlds freaked me out too much and I called it quits.

If phobia counts, for me it's would be Demon/Dark Souls

I have a fear of height, and those games trigger it pretty well. I had to double check for the four kids boss if i had to fall because i was too spooked to do it

Greentext pls

I had the same reaction when I first played Yume Nikki.
Although, somehow, it eventually became one of the most endearing/relaxing games to me.

I don't play horror games because I spook easily.

I used to be scared of absolutely everything, to the point where I couldn't finish a movie like Final Destination and found RE: Umbrella Chronicles scary. Then I sort of grew up and realized I am in fact not a defenseless arrested developement baby and now movies/games like that have no effect on me, but I still find the proper scary ones really oppressing and tense.

This happened to me in DaS1 the first time I was in Anor Londo. Everything was kicking my ass, and when I found the giant Sentinels outside the O&S fog gate I nearly shat my pants in legit fear, if the normal Sentinels gave me trouble what the fuck was I supposed to do about these niggers? They even wrecked Solaire's asshole into oblivion. A couple months pass and I'm already one shoting them, funny game.

I just thought of something... Ecco the Dolphin for the Dreamcast. It's the 3D one. It took me a couple sessions to get used to the regular sharks and wales from the surface. But eventually the game urges you to go into the deep. I vaguely recall doing some kind of mission in the deeper waters. But eventually they want you to go reeeal deep. I think to find the octopus or something. I was too unerved to continue playing.

Ty the Tasmanian Tiger, every underwater creature just looks uncanny and unsettling. I was so paranoid of going into the water for anything I would throw ice boomerangs on the water's surface and jump along them. I got past Crikey's Cove by looking up what I had to do and bracing myself. I don't mind underwater levels but the sea life is fucking spooky.

Was on /x/ when Ben Drowned was posted. Shat bricks. The good ole days.

Observer was just too much for me, I had to stop playing it just because of how stressful I found the dream sequences.

HOLY FUCK. I remember that exact scene from playing it on holidays back in like 2004 when I was like 8. That shit stuck with me for so long. I never knew what game it was from until now. That's crazy.

The first time I saw the Scorn reveal trailer I was super high. It really unsettled me for awhile. Had no clue what I was watching.

>t. Playstation 4 peasant who has never played other souls games

The Bioshock 1 jumpscare got me but the Bioshock Infinite one didn't

tfw cant find a good torrent for this game
also its a real shame when games as good as this just get forgotten this hard

Jumpscares get me sometimes but nothing big. A shame because I love psychological horror but games are pretty meh in that regard.

That gun reminded me of the bone gun from Existenz, which may be intentional considering the game is subtitled Dasein

CHOMP

Amnesia scared me so much I gave up two thirds of the way through it

Same, especially in Old Yarnham.

The part in Bioshock 1 when you get the shotgun, then the lights goes out and you hear clapping before having to fight some enemies.

I finished that game many times and that part still gets me.

Yume Nikki became kind of depressing/comfy with time, although .flow does it for me.

the first minutes of majoras mask made me feel fear

The scene in RE2 near the beginning where the clerk gets yanked through the window scared the ever loving piss outta me when I saw it for the first time when I was in 3rd or 4th grade or so

It gets even better after that

If we're counting phobias, than any game with bees triggers the shit out of me.

hahaha same, actually most of RE2 creeped me out as a kid.

Semi-related, but isn't there a mod in Skyrim that changes all the giant spiders into bears

I remember playing the Neopets PS2 game with my friend and her flipping her shit over the boss spider in it. I actually looked up a playthrough the other day to see how big it was because I remembered it huge and it was really just player-size

Resident Evil 3 when I was a kid. Whenever Nemesis popped out and started chasing me, I would get really fucking scared and stop playing. I remember one time when you enter this hall way and go down some stairs, the motherfucker jumps through the windows out of no where. I still remember it vividly because I actually screamed out loud at night and got yelled at. And then made fun of by my sister

Also, some Alien game on PS1 used to freak me out. Especially those fucking face grabber things

YOU RIPPER

I know which Alien game you're talking about. That was some terrifying shit as a kid.

In New Vegas I was trying to get the slave receipt at Novac and I was opening the safe for and the lady just came in and started punching me.

Granted she did no fucking damage but I was spooked

It's not really a game but I absolutely cannot get near a black hole in Space Engine without freaking out and closing the game.

I found Sneed's Feed and Seed (formerly Chuck's) to be unsettling.

No other game scared me as much as this one and I doubt I'll ever play one that can top it.

No one's willing to say it because it's been shilled so hard (which is fine, creator was poor as fuck and good for him) that 8 year olds wear its merch with pride so it now means nothing

But the first FnF was spooky as fuck. I always hated animatronics.

Nowadays this just looks ridiculous and I'd be more worried about losing my saws

I had to stop playing and look up level skips the first time

Outlast in the first 10-20 mins

It was this
youtu.be/Xw_csZfhc5M

Hearing the music again makes me feel nostalgic, because the music used to be really scary to me

I felt like utter shit for a while after seeing the true ending in The Witch's House.

I can't remember the name,
but there's this kid education game where u went into some nightmare world, and you friend became monsters, and u have to save them.
u start at a fortune telling woman stall or something.
I was small and the whole game terrify me shitless.

First encounter with Shadowman in Outlast creeped me the fuck out. It came out of nowhere, so I thought that my character is losing his mind.

Hideous Destructor makes them walk through wall s

Area 51 on the PS2

FNAF

the "Fun is infinite with Sega" thing on Sonic CD really spooked me out the day i found it. Being accompanied with the boss theme of nightmares didn't help either

I just cheesed them with the stairs lol

The average PlayStation owner ladies and gentlemen

no but an Blades of Exile custom campaign made me feel true melancholy once

I have always hated horror games because I'm a huge coward, yet for some reason I played through the White Chamber until I got the true ending.

I hated every moment and I have no idea why I stuck through.

Please don't bully me, but toward the end of Amnesia, I started to get kind of sick. It wasn't the monsters or anything like that, it was how you had to confront having tortured innocent people in these awful, brutal, specific ways. I'm a huge pussy and it just put me in a miserable, scared mood.

Half-Life made me jump in my seat a fair amount of times when I was a kid. Fucking bullsquids man.

KING
KONG

I have never been able to play spooky games. Couldn''t even play the crypt level in RTCW.

Even DDLC scared me

Death Montain Wii game

Killing Floor 2 solo, the idea that you're being surrounded by dozens of horrible monsters that want to kill you and nowhere is safe and the only way to survive is to kill them all, it's real scary, and the christmas theme makes it a bit more unnerving, things that should be nice and friendly are out to kill you. I just wish solo gave you more enemies.

This right here, Halo: Combat Evolved on the PC when you first find the flood because they were buggy and their long tentacle fingers could clip through the walls and stab you, and when I was really young this dinosaur hunting game on pc. I remember I had a crossbow and heard the tinny raptor shreak and I ran from the room in fright. By the time I came back to the pc the camera was sloely panning around the raptor eating my corpse.

This old clickamajig on Nickelodeon's website that I played at night, when I was a kid.

bump

I was always filled with dread every time I had to go into the water for the shark boss

>gf gets in motorcycle accident with semi truck turning onto highway
>she hits side of trailer and her body is torn in half
>her legs separate from her torso. she lived on for 8 months, crawling around the house

>be 5 years later
>play ravenholm in HL2

and that was the last time i played a video game

>she lived on for 8 months
Is she dead now or something?

Why not a wheelchair?

That one shitty flash gsme where you play as a parasite in some guy the music even how the guy looks is fucking unsettling with seemingly stubs for arms

Just Metal Gear Solid 2 and Metroid Fusion.

The twin cancer game?

Yeah your like his unborn brother and gotta move around his body collecting shit to grow god knows how I managed to complete it

this game left me shook after 20 minutes

I liked this but it was frustrating

>tfw played so many horror games and watched so many horror films that nothing really spooks me anymore
I still consume lots of horror media because I love the genre, but I'm very rarely affected by it. Waiting for VR to properly take off in the hopes that'll get me.

Only games that have remotely scared me are Silent Hill 2 and 3.

Please give me some actually unsettling shut because I'm convinced it doesn't exist or I'm just too strongwilled. Jumpscares don't count.

When I was 9, Ocarina of Time. Both the skeleton kids in the night and the redeads. Jesus christ I was so used to colorful adventure and I guess some spiders but then they make you freeze. Especially in the royal crypt.
Now days I can't get scared unless thinking about mortality and the fact that I or anyone else I love won't exist.
Keeps me up at night for hours.

If you're not bamboozling that sounds horrific and I'm sorry to hear.

THAT SOUND

Damn that's traumatic

Try Alien:Isolation.

>not taking solace in the fact that one day we'll be dead and gone
It's like you don't even recognise this waking nightmare for what it is.

Walking out in the dark between my friend's building and mine as a child after playing Dino Crisis legitimately spooked me. What if there was a raptor in the elevator? What if one jumped out of the bush?

That's about it.

Ignorance is bliss friend. Hold onto those you care about. Taking care of others is a good way to forget. Their life is much more precious .

The first night I spent at Hideout 2 in Darkwood.

Twisted Metal Black had some sick shit in it for a ten year old. The cannibal's story was particularly traumatizing, but I think it was because it was the only one I sat all the way through. I skipped through the cutscenes for every other story.

Jumpscare done right

Nope, I can't be spooked. Horror games are just, well, games to me.

Swimming through dark pools in Deus Ex when a fucking Karkian or Greasel would be around was terrifying.

Forgot the pic.

There's this room in Metro Last Light that you stumble upon while going through some tunnel that you go in and start hearing some weird shit and seeing some faint figures in the shadows. It escalates the longer you stay in there and I ran the fuck out after a few seconds. You don't lose hp or anything, just creeps you out. Thought it was very well done though.

I had the same experience when Death came for my sims in Sims 1, and when I played Trauma Center, and when I watched the funeral scene in Shark Tale. Being confronted with death at a young age kept me up a lot of nights.
>>not taking solace in the fact that one day we'll be dead and gone
Appreciate what good you have in your life user. Looking forward to death only leads you down a dark path.

Those awful twitchy shark things in the murky water of half life

Has anyone here ever witnessed a ghost or any paranormal activity?
