ITT: unintentional horror games

>>718571637
when you finally go to the bathroom

>>718571491 (OP)
but its one of the best horror games ever, in VR its terrifying

>>718571491 (OP)
I'm not scared by any of the underwater stuff, having a time limit until the ship explodes makes me way more anxious.

>>718571739
Just wished they fixed the fucking FOV.

>>718571491 (OP)
space engine is an obvious one

>>718571984
Wouldn't falling into a black hole be the ultimative kino death?

>>718571984
agreed.
I'd add Elite Dangerous to the list once you leave civilization

>>718571739
>in VR

just imagining screaming while trying to shove the headset off like a retard

>>718571491 (OP)
>brown hand comes in
youre right OP

Area51 in TR3 scared the living shit out of me as a kid. Took me a while to clear.

>>718571637
I'd shit my pants regularly too if my bathroom had an SCP

>>718571984
That game scared the shit out of me. I clicked something and it immediately turned the camera to the side and moved at the speed of light to finally zoom really close to this huge star and it freaked me the fuck out

>>718571856
i thought the tiner was fake?

>>718571491 (OP)
Subnautica is only scary on the first playthrough, before you learn you can just knoif everything to death.
A little off subject but dear god do I wish there was a first-person version of Barotrauma, that shit would be fucking awesome.

>>718571491 (OP)
This happened to me in VR. I didnt even know there was monsters in the game, I thought it was a scuba diver simulator. Scared the absolute shit out of me

>>718572115
>when you jump through a fucking star

>>718572346
w-what's in the arrow

>>718571491 (OP)
You could have just made another subnautica thread
>>718572573
It's happens after a few in game days and makes the surrounding water irradiated. No one on their first play is going near the aurora much regardless because of the reapers doe

>>718571637
DIMITRIUS GET OUT OF THE BATHROOM NOW

>>718574405
your biggest fear

>>718571491 (OP)
I tried playing this game but I'd already had my fill of survival base builders playing Satisfactory
It really was a lot more underwhelming than people made it out to be

>>718575064
>Satisfactory
>survival base builder

Halo CE changes genre halfway through

>>718575176
t-the spiders were scary

>trillion ton ship right at your doorstep
>no you can't use it as material for your universal replicator you must farm the raw materials from the planet
Maximum contrivance.

>>718575273
Spiders?

>>718571574
fippy bippy
unlike the shit sequel

>>718575273
>First time in the red forest
>That huge spider
>Quickly build a tower to escape it
>It jumps even higher

That place in Fable 2, you fuckers know.

>>718575176
>survival base builder
pretty apt description of satisfactory, the factory part is the most tedious part of that game.

>>718571984
what is this meme? theres nothing scary about space engine

>>718577121
The infinte vastness of space terrifies the midwit instead of filling him with faustian spirit.

>>718578183
AAAAAH IM SO ALONE THIS IS TERRIFYING WHY ARENT PEOPLE IN SPACE AAAAAAAAA

>>718577040
sharks have a blind spot in front of them, he was as surprised as the diver to bump into something

>>718571491 (OP)
Super Mario Sunshine eel
Swimming to K Rool's island in DK64

>>718571637
>wake up in the morning
>realize I'm black
True horror

>>718578183
people aren't terrified of empty space they are terrified of fucking gamma rays and black holes

>>718573903
>in VR

>>718572075
Wouldn't you just starve to death because you would never actually reach it?

>>718578183
how positively gnostic. hermetic even

>>718584802
no, you would become so fast, while falling into the hole, you would be able to watch the entire universe die in front of your eyes, and then you would find out what black holes actual-

INFRA

>>718578183
its not vastness of space that terrifies me but what lurk between stars, outside of star plasma sheath

>>718587294
INFRA had pretty fucking scary elements.

>>718587294
>INFRA
>unintentional horror
My brother in Christ, what is your definition of unintentional

>>718588070
spooky

>>718586808
doesn't time slow down from your perspective as you approach such speeds?

>>718580863
>>realize I'm black
oooh so that's why she was feeling like p-diddy

>>718587972
It's just a nice walking sim. Looking round dilapidated buildings and taking pictures.
There's definitely nobody around. Nothing's causing that torch to flicker at the back of that cave-in. The coffee is fine. DONT RING THE DOORBELL.

>>718586808
No.
What actually happens is that in 3D (4D technically) space becomes one dimensional, as nothing can move in any direction other than toward the singularity. As you approach the singularity, the difference between the gravitational force on your legs and your head would be so drastic that you'd literally be torn apart.
For you, time would pass normally, but your image (ie what you 'left behind' on the event horizon) would be still, never moving, never changing, until it decays and gradually redshifts.

>>718577121
Big thing equal scary. Put me next to a large building or inside a building with a high roof and I'll get spooked. Things should not be big.

>>718578183
>faustian spirit.
The spirit to fuck up your life and the lives of those around by making a deal with the devil?

What the fuck are you talking about? Did you just want to use a big word to look smart?

>>718589001
No cap put me in an empty office building with a yellow carpet and cube walls everywhere and fr fr nightmare fuel. Florescent lights, drop in ceiling, empty pools with nobody in them.
This stuff doesn't happen in nature.

>>718589284
>Columbus bad
>civilization bad

playing video games online as a woman is pretty scary

>>718571723
your post made me shit my pants

>>718589534
Holy shit

>>718587294
>>718588329
you will never make me buy a shitty walkin sim ever again

>>718589534
yo is that britanny venti?

>>718572115
Uh oh

>>718590286
don't worry those are just brown potatoes

>>718589495
????
I'm talking about you using the word "faustian", when that is specifically referring to the story of a man who sold his soul to the devil and gets punished for it at the end with eternal enslavement and damnation

what the fuck has THAT got to do with space?

>>718589495
yes

>>718571637
Beh!

>>718577040
EY, I'M SWIMMIN ERE

>>718589284
Faustian includes: "the propensity to risk everything in search for greatness".
Hence, his post that we should conquer space which is dangerous.

It's funny you want to paint him as a dumb fuck when in fact your are the midwit here unable to process terms beyond their definition in the dictionary. Like a woman midwit.

>>718589534
LITERALLY SHAKING AND CRYING RN

>>718589534
Retards on /v/ falls for this webm everytime
She's playing a character.

>>718575419
Did the sequel have trannies or something?

>>718590286
If you don't want to play critical hydroelectric repair/spelunking simulator then that's your loss.

>>718579696
Spyro's whale and sharks. I had my mom handle the whale and she was like "Aw, see? It's harmless" and then it swallowed her.

>>718589495
no lies detected

>>718591029
>here's my made up word definition based on a book I haven't read
>your are the midwit here

>>718593108
it's a play

>>718591462
worse it had a retarded alien scientist who couldn't tell the difference between a brain and a PDA
the protagonist is also dumb, the other characters like GIRLBOSS OLD LADY, are lame and just highlight the fact WE aren't allowed to be badass killers of the ocean, only NPC's are
it's also smaller, has worse sound design and worse creature design

>>718593184
thank you for the distinction without a difference midwit

>>718593316
The difference is crucial, you gorilla nigger.

>>718593370
seems like you're having a really hard time explaining it

>>718593419
Shan't throw pearls before swine.

>>718593496
hmm quite aphoristic indeed my good sir

>>718593653
thank you

>>718593108
Wieviel Deutsch sprichst du, Hackfresse?

>>718593747
I took some german in college. shit language to be honest

>>718571984
Being scared of space stuff in general is silly. Except for the black holes in Everspace. Those things are out to get you.

>>718579506
WHAT WERE THEY THINKING???

>>718571491 (OP)
2bh, seeing the character's non-White hands in POV is enough body horror for a lifetime.

>>718594282
>Being scared of space stuff in general is silly. Except for

>>718576296
I do know but it was intentional

>>718594931
Being scared of space is retarded because it's fake and gay

>>718596712
Explain what I am seeing with my telescope then

>>718589534
Oh hey, it's that girl from the /pol/ meetup

>outer wilds
>falling into the gas giant planet thats full of tornadoes

first time i played it i had such a visceral reaction to it i felt sick for the rest of the day.

Y'all are a bunch of pussies lmao

>>718598020
strong forces of nature like that make me incredibly uneasy, I was always tense on that planet

>>718594931
We have the word "except" for a reason and you need to respect that.

>>718598178
i handled the dark bramble surprisingly well but the fucking continent sized tornadoes flying towards you faster than you can run away sets off my panic response something fierce.

>fippy bippy
>unlike the shit sequel

>>718595550
quite a throwback

>>718571984
>>718594282
>ch/v/ds afraid of a big black hole
lmao faggots

>>718598020
having to hide inside a jellyfish to get down to the core of the planet made me extremely uncomfortable

>playing gmod testing the bombs and nukes addon
>on the big city map flinging them across the map from the highest building
>uncomfortable with nukes because of fear of facing great things alone
>spawn in a bomb that looks different
>throw it
>vision becomes warped where it landed, starts making high pitched noise
>rips me off the building
>sucks me across the huge map towards it
>pause the game in fear, probably closed it
>it was a black hole bomb

>>718588070
i don't remember this, which chapter?

>>718574405
A horse

>>718581212
This is why I dont wanna go diving

>>718589284
>Did you just want to use a big word to look smart?
Regardless of what Faustian may mean, yes he did

>>718598020
I played on mute like half the fucking game because it was so horrifyng. I've always been terrified of open waters, and Giant's Deep was really difficult to get used to. Incredible game, but fuck open space and open waters.

>>718572075
What is spaghettification

>>718581212
Awww he is smiling :)

>>718577040
>>718581212
Shit like dis be the reason we blacks dont swim
Sea be full of whites who wanna kill us

>>718574662
GET OFF THE GAME AND GO TO THE BATHROOM NOW, I CAN SMELL YOU

>>718600906
>esl samefagging to save face
shiggy

>>718572153
I did that an the intro to Doom VFR. You're stuck in an elevator looking down a long hallway, and a pinky runs at you full speed. Nearly shit myself
https://youtu.be/WeRsFu6Lo-M?si=5wU7GROLoTZkeYi9&t=90

>>718589534
I'd be spooked too

>>718598020
same, I had to mute and step away from the game for a while. My heart wouldn't stop beating out of my chest

that water planet and the sun planet fucking scared me, hidden gem of a game honestly

>>718572075
No? It would be one thing if black holes were just kind of teleported you to hell or something but they apparently just turn you into a 2d cartoon and then you disappear?
Honestly they're just like dinosaurs. The more "scientists" discover about them, the less kino they seem.
I personally don't believe in black holes. If no light then = no color, and if that was the case they would be transparent or white, not black.

>>718602541
>if no light = no color then they’d be transparent or white, not black

>>718600747
Fuck I wish I could afford it, I would piss my pants but still

>>718598020
The tornadoes on Giant's Deep are ten times more scary than the anglers. It think it's because there's always a chance of the island you're on getting thrown up, where the anglers are rather static if you don't make too much noise.

>>718593297
>it's also smaller, has worse sound design and worse creature design
Yeah because they fired the first game's sound designer for wrongthink on Twitter.

>>718602387
Is this the game where you like bounce/roll around?

>>718602387
Word of mouth is hard to spread when you omit the name of the game.

>>718574405
Something really cool and technically impressive for the time.

>>718602387
Loved it. Although it did become a bit repetetive.

>>718606217
Exo One

scared the shit out of me the first time I saw it

>>718607997
yeah right, the only thing really scary about it is that it animates at a lower framerate than everything else around it.

>>718572075
Bro that Thing is worse than skinny dipping on the Sun. You'd be dead and minced by a Million things long before you reach the Fun part of the black hole that's raping our physics

Didn't finish the game when I was a teen

>>718571637
GO!!!!!!!

I'm not afraid of any of those meme phobias, like really are zoomers afraid of big buildings or underwater machines, but I have a very rational fear of the deep ocean. I'm a shit swimmer, and even if I was a good swimmer:
>Unfathomably deep.
>Goes on forever in every direction.
>Creatures that can and will fuck you up. Sharks, poisonous jellyfish, all sorts of spooky shit.

>>718608507
I was 13 when I played this for the first time and thought it was goofy as fuck lmao.

>>718571637
>we mocked the game for having really bad mirrors
>now games don't even have mirrors at all

>>718575372
You absolutely can, the map is littered with ship debris you can turn into titanium. And all the tools and vehicles come from wrecks scattered around.

>>718575372
You can shovel scrap pieces from the ship into your replicator all day to get titanium

>>718589534
My sides

>>718578183
I'm not terrified by space itself, I'm terrified that sentient life like ours relies on an indifferent natural universe, and that everything humanity has achieved could be wiped out in an instant with one perfectly-timed and aimed gamma ray burst.

That's why its vital for humanity to spread across the stars. With humanity spread across galaxies, there will always be some of us that survive the indifference of nature and physics.

>>718589495
Columbus was pretty bad, even his own country wanted his head for pointlessly fucking up first contact.

>>718598020
Falling through the black hole gave me a headache, like it triggered something in my brain saying "we do NOT like this". Also the DLC is an actual horror game.

>>718579506
what the fuck were they thinking with this? just why?

>that damn dog
iykyk

>>718609806
>what if we mixed skinwalker looking motherfuckers with weeping angels and then made it a mandatory stealth segment

fucking jumpscares man, takes me back to the old penumbra days
