The Most Scary PC Game Ever

lunisicx · 10-16-2006, 05:10 AM

What do you think is the most scary PC game of all time?

My was Doom 3 [when the baby cry and Ambient sounds], F.E.A.R and the expansion demo too [Little girl, Ambient sounds] and condemned criminal origins. [Mannequins and Ambient sounds].

I'm always on the edge of my seat and I jump several times a night when I'm playing The Hidden. My wife thinks it's funny...

System Shock 2 is definately the creepiest and most frightening game I've played. Silent Hill is also up there. Doom 3, FEAR, and Condemned did nothing to scare me.

I got to say F.E.A.R was the scariest game I have ever played. Something about a little girl stalking you, scares the poo out of me.

Clive Barker's Undying.

The original Half-Life probably had me jumping the most of any game I've played. I'm not a survival horror-type person, and my PC wasn't able to handle Doom 3 and FEAR, so I'm likely not the best source for that stuff though.

For straight freaked-right-the-hell-out factor, I don't think you can top Phantasmagoria and Phantasmagoria 2.

System Shock 2 made me feel very alone in the game, which is kinda creepy. And the first time I played the original Doom it gave me nightmares.

**icky** · 10-16-2006, 11:16 AM

Phantasmagoria was scary, but more in a creepy and gruesome way. It didn't make you jump out of your skin, but it could give you nightmares.

**Vulcan** · 10-16-2006, 11:19 AM

Silent Hill or Resident Evil, the original games. In that day I did jump playing those games. you have to set the mood for horror games though, turn off the lights, play at 12 am.

The sequel gave me happy dreams too, after I played out the fetish club scene. :P

Yes - and parts of the Thief games can contend for the title too.

Half Life 2 Episode 1 made my jump a few times, the Headcrabs launching at you. Or the Zombines appearing behind.

TychoCelchuuu · 10-16-2006, 12:30 PM

F.E.A.R all the way. I installed the demo, walked down a hallway, saw the girl, hit esc, and uninstalled. Seriously. I am so bad with scary games, although for some reason I was able to make it through Half-Life and Half-Life 2 without the zombies or headcrabs scaringme, and Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines without getting completely freaked out in the haunted house.

While not a scary game in and of itself, there is a montage during Max Payne that had me very... creeped out. The part where he goes back to his home, and everything is distorted with a baby crying and people screaming.
