Hi smile

In modern games Scratches was the one that had me feeling decidedly "unsettled" and in old games it was Phantasmagoria ....

Darkness Within. That first scene in the well was seriously scary. I felt like I was really there trying to get away from that thing.


I child-proofed my home... but they're still getting in!

Dark Fall 1.
I played it when it was first available only from Jonathan (the silver disc). Right away, I was creeped out. I could only play it in little bits. Particulary scary moments:
- being inside the rooms and hearing someone knock on the door
- the phone ringing, but knowing you were cut off
- the basement part of the garage, just having that little spot of light to look around. I was terrified something would jump out at me.
Though there may have been earlier spooky games (eg. Shivers ), Dark Fall seemed more innovative, and many of it's devices have now been reused in other 'spooky' games that I've played.

The White Chamber. It's a freeware game. It's really unsettling. I couldn't even get very far in it - I had to quit.
Even the soundtrack is creepy.

There's also Aliens Vs Predator Gold and Aliens Vs Predators II (first person shooters). The Aliens like to hide in very dark corners and they jump out at you. Very scary.

both Shivers games were scary - the music in the caverns alone in #2 creeped me out. But now I am almost done with Penumbra Black Plague and all I can say is YIKES !!!

Scratches and Penumbra were creepy for me. It was all in the sound effects, not jump out in your face monsters that did it.

Off topic but Shivers works for me on Vista. It just plays in a small window not fullscreen.

Both Scratches and Dark Fall: The Journal made it into the "can't finish it too creepy" list. Sanitarium was actually more disturbing than creepy. For the PS2 there's Resident Evil 4 and this little known game called Fatal Frame.

I'm easily creeped out. scared
