Have you ever been scared by a videogame?
I think maybe Alien Isolation but maybe that was more anxiety and jump scares? 🤔

The original Dead Space and Amnesia were awesome.
Amnesia was great! Never played Dead Space, though.
I think I have Amnesia on the free epic library. Should maybe play one of those games some day lol
Also.. The Evil Within is currently free, just in case other people download free epic games and never play them ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Dead space. Monumental.
Resident evil and silent hill were both scary when I was a kid but I think it would look silly today.
Yeah it is a weird phenomenon that, does the ability to scare get adjusted with what you expect from the most current 'realistic' graphics. Having said that people apparently find Darkwood scary, and that's a top down, retro-ish game.
For a moment I've read "Dinkwood" (as in Dink Smallwood) and was thoroughly confused. Anyway, for anything to be scary one needs to be engrossed(?), to lose oneself in the fake world. It happens less the the older one gets, when one is jaded, a cynical bored old bastard is only scared by the horror shitshow that is reality.
Big fan of the Amnesia series myself. Just a straight up, creepy looking liminal environment.
Yes. Space Hulk on the Amiga was a scary experience. Same with Knightmare.
This looks great
It was! Simple by todays standards, but hooboy the atmosphere really had you on edge.
Here's one of the music tracks, gives you the vibe...
