Do you remember any vidya moments that actually creeped you out? I don't mean a part in a horror game, I mean something unusual or weird, either IRL or in the game that got you scared.

Yes.

i fucking hate that god damn image. i literally can't play with the gb camera at night because of it. the fuck were they thinking when they made that shit?

>>714751006
why are you playing with the gb camera at night?

this just looks funny

once in a while i feel like trying to take a legible image with it, can be a little fun.

They wanted to make you laugh.

I just froze.

>>714749925 (OP)
I got to play DDLC before it went mainstream, I tought it was just a regular school love VN and the second run scared the fuck out of me

>>714751509
are you scared now?

Post THAT scary face

>>714751715

>>714751635
glad i'm not the only one who got scared by that game. lol

>>714751598
I shit my pants unironically

>>714751607
That fucking cold sweat frozen feeling is the worst shit. I remember playing Fallout 3 back on the xbox, and I was binging it for hours late into the night.

At some point, power shut off and I just froze there in complete silence surrounded by pitch black, pins and needles all over my body before I quickly curled up on the couch.

>>714751601
this is NOT funny.

>>714751601
maybe they shouldn't have put the caption "who are you running from?" then

Visual novels used to make me pretty uncomfortable. Like the combination of the first person perspective and the sprites looking directly at you somehow triggered the same part of my brain that makes you want to back down from eye contact. It went away after a while, though.

It's embarrassing to admit, but Yo-kai Watch 3. In the Hazy Lane, I tried to push that phone that told the cat story to its limit, and while it wasn't even that scary, the fact that it got me at all makes me feel like a gay baby.
Also, that one tree in Disc Creatures.

>>714749925 (OP)
Silent Hill 4 The Room was really fucked up for my 14 yo brain... that head going up the window scared the hell out of me.

Also the game was very disturbing, both in imagery and sound design.

>>714752196
The secret lab gets very creepy very fast, so yes.

>everyone dead
>did it get away?

I am able to suspend my disbelief to find games scary but in my heart of hearts I know it's all really not scary. I like to play pretend though.

Last thing that got me was, stupidly enough, Pyramid Head in SH2 (original) and how he randomly shows up when you least expect him. I remember finding RE VII VR a bit creepy too.

game console crashes *BEEEEEEEEEEP*

literal irl analog horror jumpscare
only time a vidyagaem has made me shit bricks

>>714751662
Countries should have their own walled garden style of internet where they all exist in their own respective fishbowls and can only talk to other citizens. Yes, that includes USA. I don’t give a fuck if I never talk to another britbong, my only regret would be not being able to watch you guys eat each other once there aren’t any burgers to antagonize.

This is gonna sound like a larp but there’s a cave in Far Cry 5 with an attempt at a ghost in it that’s just a plain silhouette of a person and at one point he shows up and tries to scare you then runs into a room and I threw a molotov at him and he died and somehow the game let me revive him like he was just a regular NPC teammate but then he just despawned right after. Explored the rest of the cave chuckling to myself

Fallout 4 graveyard spook

you know the one

hogwarts legacy is really creepy at times
im not just talking about like the forbidden forest or whatever, there's parts where i'm just walking around and something flys around or a random background NPC shows up out of nowhere when i'm really far away from other people

For me the game was highly unpredictable and did things I wasn’t used to at all (crashing itself, remembering specific actions). Gonna sound gay but the permanence of your actions is handled in a way that really fucks with you, specifically pacifist > genocide > pacifist. The game reads your intentions incredibly well and uses that to antagonize you, which for me was pretty scary. Flowey’s reaction to a genocide run still gives me chills and is seriously fucking dark.

>>714752196
you have to remember, undertale is almost ten years old at this point.
kids in their 20s played this game when they were like 12. I'm sure you can remember getting spooked by silly things when you were 12

I honest to god get scarred by mimick chests or mimick like enemies. Think like the mimick chests in Castlevania or Dark Souls or the mimick grubs in Hollow Knight.

>>714753396
I don't know why the face of Yume Nikki's horror is Uboa. Uboa was a bit too obviously intentionally scary to leave a lasting impression on me.

This on the otherhand, you just have no idea what you're looking at besides some kind of fucked up face, and it fills your entire screen for an uncomfortably long time.

>>714753567
>I don't know why the face of Yume Nikki's horror is Uboa
well for one its kinda hard to make art of and make a mascot out of something you can't visually comprehend lol
uboa is much easier to draw and recognize as a character, especially if you lean into the anime aesthetic

The Wii U freezing noise was scary as fuck. You'd be playing a game late at night, then out of nowhere it freezes and you get this loud sound.

>>714753456
Yeah, combined with that track it really reminds you of stuff like Cho Aniki or later Japanese internet humor.

I don't play scary games. They're too scary.

>>714752519
i gotta admit, Win7's BSOD scared the fuck outta me
suddenly one moment I'm good, the next everything goes black and then it's blue, printing out white text going "A problem has occurred"

what fucked me was
>Windows has been shut down to PREVENT DAMAGE to your computer
nowadays the BSOD is both not threatening, and not helpful (generic error instead of saying what failed, where it failed, and the error code)

Hear me out
The scariest game would be one where the developer has access to your game using a backdoor
Both Welcome to the Game and Clustertruck had these features
I mentally pleasure myself at the idea of putting a game on itch.io and replacing all the textures of a game with gore or playing a cartel beheading video on an unsuspecting player

>>714752405
3 and new vegas have decent jumps cares

>>714756537
You know you could just put the files for the video right in the game with the same effect anon

>>714756903
No, messing with them in real-time is mandatory. The important thing is that I could be a lot more subtle about it and drive the player into severe paranoia.

I got filtered by the bloodsuckers in STALKER. 2spoopy4me.

>>714756537
i dont understand what this means. if im playing the game, it gives you access to my computer so you can change stuff? on my computer or just in the game while I'm playing? how do clustertruck and wttg utilize this?

>>714757165
Just in the game while you're playing.
In both of those games the devs usually mess with streamers and they either enable pre-programmed events or change game variables like speed, difficulty and other stuff
You can find instances of it happening on YouTube

Games use these wanings about "content that might be distressing to some players" warnings so inflationary nowadays that I just didn't take it seriously.
That was something when I gently opened that door.

AAAAAAAAAAAAA

>>714759515
It's a random event, paired with sudden unsettling music and the text "whom are you running from"?It's meant to be creepy.

2 on top of my head. Monster Ock from Spiderman on PS2
And another one was that one flashback section in Tomb Raider Legends when Amanda's monster first shows up in the dark caves and begins picking off your friends one by one until it starts chasing you down.
That section freaked me out because it goes into the room with you and i would get paranoid.

The final level of the original NES Blaster Master scared the utter shit out of me as a kid. The music is incredibly unnerving and the visuals didn't help either, going from a bouncy sci-fi romp to crawling through a giant intestinal tract. "Guts" levels have given me the heebie-jeebies for as long as I can remember and I think this one is why.

>>714749925 (OP)
The jumpscare in the HAZE swamp level scared me shitless and I didn't touch the game for a week.

Thats what Im saying dude I always thought she was kinda cute. Feathered goth-y hair and weird-ass makeup is awesome. If it's a dude I guess Im just gay.

Really gay, but recently the green rain in Stardew. I thought it was a 1% chance thing crammed in by a scorned modder and some gmod tier demonic shit was gonna happen at any moment.

>>714763618
Stop motion/claymation triggers the "uncanny" effect in most people. You can tell your supposed to be looking at an object in motion but something about it is off.

This turns a goofy, childish game into nightmare fuel thanks to the combo of good old 90's gross out humour and uncanny animation

This one is hard to explain but I upgraded my GPU a long time ago, really shitty entry level card, AMD Diamond HD 6450. It was awful but I was young and wanted to play Skyrim and it was the best I could do. It consistently gave me problems but what always spooked me is that I would get a vertical screen crash sometimes while playing Skyrim to the point that it gave me PTSD for a long time. It would always happen in certain spots, like that waterfall cave part of Bleak Falls Barrow or while fighting the dragon at Whiterun. Even today if I was going to replay that game I'm afraid of that same crash happening and those spooky vertical lines appearing.

Horror elements themselves dont really scare me... However the anticipation of them scares me shitless.
Even the most bland zoomerslop for some reason creeps me out by a sheer POSSIBILITY of something happening, or knowing that this is where something happens, but the happening itself doesnt do shit. At worst i might get startled for quarter of a second by a jump and thats it.
Even completely unscary games like RE2R do that to me for some reason. I have no idea why, but that feels wrong.

>>714752209
The concept of the actual room (not so much the other segments) would be incredibly cool for a VR escape room type game

it has that message on the first second of the trailer. I gaped my mouth in excitement

>>714770539
Certain frequencies of sound are hard wired into your brain to cause anxiety, ultra low and ultra high, just before the inaudible spectrum on both to be specific

Horror game/movie producers figured this out some time ago

>>714749991
could never really get startled by this one. it just looks too cool for me.deltarune is a lot more unsettling, anyway

>>714753260
THEY AIRED THIS ON TV?!?

A lot of the easter eggs in Halo 3 I personally find a little unsettling.
The Cavemen are just these weird human things that bleed when you shoot them but appear to be petrified with their eyes just lifeless and staring at nothing.
There’s that bouncing image of some dev in boxers at the beginning of the last level that is tucked away in a dark corner just quietly bouncing up and down without making a single sound. Plus another similar image in some DLC multiplayer map.
There’s the whole “Trigate Mystery” thing which I know fuckall about despite how many videos I’ve seen on it, plus that weird looking texture in some wall way out of bounds in The Ark level. And going out of bounds in general can be a little unsettling since the world just gets more and more distorted and abstract (obviously since you’re not supposed to be there in the first place) kinda like the “Blue Hell” areas in GTA San Andreas.
And then of course there’s the mythical “ghosts” in the multiplayer. I remember spending hours watching all kinds of supposed ghosts on youtube. From the iconic ghost player that would glide around the map with broken movement animations and attack players to grenades and equipment being thrown around by a second player in what is supposed to be a solo lobby. Even though all these supposed ghosts could be dismissed as players just skillfully recording and editing footage to make it look real.
Not exactly Silent Hill or Amnesia, but there were a few things about this game that were just a bit unsettling.

>>714753260

What's more unsettling in Deltarune? Do you mean the rape or dark themes or anything visually creepy?

>>714772958
There aren't any rapes scene in Deltarune.

>>714749925 (OP)

this thing used to scare me when i was young

>>714772958
just the snowgrave route, for the most part. yeah you're not blasting through the underground murdering everything in sight, but taking a mostly innocent character and turning them into a killing machine and seeing the effect it has on them and the others can get pretty disturbing.

>>714773624
>mostly innocent
Noelle is like 3 bad days away from a school shooting

>>714773484
Gex was weird.

>>714774923
I think snowgrave is much more fucked up for Kris than it is for Noelle. Noelle at least has her free will even if she is being coerced.

>>714752975
Even without the funky JP music in their own version, why the fuck would you photoshop such a shitty crude image for Sonic? This isn't like "animators were bored so they made porn"

I got my fix or horror shit before fnaf became big, then it was every zoomer and gen alpha's only scary game, diluting the other stuff to mere memes like "analog horror" craze

>Snowgrave
Call it the Weird Route, that's what it's called. Enough with your fanwank shit. It's the Weird Route.

2003 or so, I was 15 years old and my parents had gone on a trip to Italy, leaving me completely home alone for a week. I was playing Clocktower 3 on a Friday night and suddenly heard banging coming from the chimney, and what I thought was a low cackling. Had two german shepherds at the time and they were freaking out, whimpering and running away from the living room. I chalked it off as maybe an opossum that somehow climbed in (even though the top was closed off, or at least small enough to make it impossible for something to climb in) so I went back to playing. Got to the cutscene where the Sledgehammer dude kills the little girl and he said "I killed... her" and I heard "yes, good..." in a woman's voice coming from the chimney. I freaked the fuck out, ran upstairs with the dogs and refused to come down until morning.

The rest of that weekend was pretty normal, but I moved the PS2 up to my room on to a much smaller TV just to be safe.
