Author Topic: Scariest game you've ever played?  (Read 7366 times)

There's a Penumbra tech demo around somewhere, but it's a full game.
Exactly what I was talking about, dunno where it is now though.

Eh, even though thats probally a "baby" game compared to the ones everyone else is saying, Its the scariest one I've ever played too. (I'm not a fan of horror games or Scary suspence)

I don't know about games (I have only ever been startled) but the scariest thing I can think of would A) be that Doctor who episode with the mother seeking gas mask children (now I just laugh and think of the pyro but when I first saw it.....), or B) Robert Jordans wheel of time books (nothing in them is scray but I hate most of them to the point of a phobia).

Bioshock was chilling at times. And Ravenholm and no effect on me. It's different when you're expecting it.

F.E.A.R.

I'm going to ask if I can get it back on my computer after I deleted it for more space...

DOOM3, F.E.A.R, Penumbra, Silent Hill The Room.  These are some forgeted up games.

I would have to say the Doom games.

I don't play a lot of FPSes so I can't really say much, but I'll throw this in there:

Around midnight, pitch black outside, in my basement with only the TV on, Fanatic's Tower from FF6 music playing. Scared the hell out of me.

what is Condemned about? I understand the game can make you stuff your self.

Around midnight, pitch black outside, in my basement with only the TV on, Fanatic's Tower from FF6 music playing. Scared the hell out of me.

I've felt that fear before. I was in a large room, alone during a LAN party. The rest of the group was out of the house and I was sitting here with only my friend's computer on. I suddenly hear this music. It was like the kind of humming you hear in the Left4Dead theme. The rythm went something like; DUN, DUN, DUN-DUN-DUN, DUN DUN DUN *echoes*...

Doesn't sound that bad, but at the young age I was, it was enough to make me sprint out of the room and rip the power cord out of the computer on my way out.


One time i was alone, my parents were out and i was playing silent hill 4 the room alone, suddenly  i heard something like foot steps in my kitchen down stairs. I went to investigate, i forgot to pause the game so that was the scary part. I looked in the the kitchen from the corner of the wall and it was nothing. "Sometimes when you get scared your mind plays tricks on you." Because i forgot to pause the game i heard loud moans followed with groans getting louder from my room upstairs. I was so scared, i brought a bat with a flash light upstairs and found that i died in the game.

I cut the lights at 1 A.M. and played through Ravenholm in HL2.

That was intense.
I love ravenholm. Left 4 dead with a gravity gun and no teammates.
