Spooky Games that spooked you pretty good.

Spooky games that frequently appear on lists of terrifying and effective horror experiences include Outlast, Amnesia: The Dark Descent, Resident Evil These games create fear through themes of helplessness, unsettling spacebar counter environments, jump scares, and psychological tension, often requiring players to hide from threats rather than fight them. is an experience that exposes you to terrifying scenes based on common fears and phobias. In Skyscraper, a player stands on the ledge of a skyscraper in the middle of a big city.
 
Been playing horror games all my life since I was a kid, so it's hard to get spooked. But Silent Hill 3 is legit scary, that sound design is insane, dark room, headphones, still spooks me even though I've finished it many times already.

Fatal Frame 3 is really creepy too.
 
The only game that ever gave me a scare was the original Resident Evil. For context, I bought it new on release here in the US. The part inside the mansion when you are running down the hall and the zombie dogs burst through the glass the first time you re-enter that L shaped hallway and wasn't expecting it. It gave me a quick jump scare. I paused the game and said aloud "Ok game, you got me"
 
Fatal Frame 2. I remember there's this one jumpscare where the ghost of a little boy quickly shows up in a window if you got close and used your camera next to it. That spooked me real good.
Seconding this. I watched my sister play it when I was very young, and from that point onward I slept with a night light lol.
Even nowadays it still gets me good; probably the best of the Fatal Frame series, if you ask me, though I remember the games on PS2 being pretty solid in general.
 
The Silent Hill games always manage to scare me😱

Clock Tower series also can scare you to the point you'll constantly get paranoid of your surroundings for a while. That damned Scissorman lol

I know Half-Life 2 is not a horror game, but to a little nervous kid me it might as very well been. Ravenholm scared the shit out of me every time, doesn't help that the rest of the game feels so lonely and hopeless, with the post apocalyptic setting and all that.
I have to mention that I wasn't the one playing, my dad was, but I liked to see him play EXCEPT Ravenhorn, I used to beg him to skip this chapter when I was sitting besides him looking at the screen. There was a particular glitch that sometimes happened to his copy of the game were the zombies whould spawn but stay frozen in place, I almost prayed that the glitch activated every time beacuse it made the experience much more bearable, it also stopped the noises from the zombies so it was a huge plus. I remember dad telling me that "all of those noises are just made by a bunch of guys grunting and having fun in a recording booth, there's nothing to be afraid of", and years later when I heard the reversed message I felt vindicated lol. Still a bit spooky to me even nowadays...
 
Megaman X4, i came expecting another dark fun colorful Megaman Game, i felt in love with Zero since i actually played x5 first, so i picked him, just to be recieved with this shit
 
The Elvira games on home computers.
Pixel games are way scarier than 3d graphics
