StaceyPowers Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 What are the creepiest games you've ever played? Note that I said "creepy" as opposed to "scary," "gruesome" or "horrific." The emphasis here is on an unsettling atmosphere, not outright scares. For me, it is still Myst back in the day on PC. Nothing remotely scary ever actually happened in that game, and it was pretty much a vacuum when it came to other characters. But that never stopped me from feeling like I needed to look over my shoulder the entire time (which of course you couldn’t do since the game didn’t feature seamless walking). Maybe I just played it during an impressionable age, but I’ve never encountered a single game since which compares in that respect.
Demon_skeith Posted September 18, 2018 Posted September 18, 2018 Hrmmm, Okage Shadow King comes to mind. It's kind of like this weird halloween like game that is pretty fun to play.
DylanC Posted September 18, 2018 Posted September 18, 2018 The Silent Hill games (especially the early entries) do creepy very well. Their focus on atmosphere and eerie mood over jump scares is especially creepy. Also Lone Survivor is super creepy!
Heatman Posted September 8, 2021 Posted September 8, 2021 Seriously, there are so many countless creepy video games that would really freak you out at a glance. For example, Alien Isolation.
