I’m currently going through Alien: Isolation and I’m having a blast. However it’s not making me piss my pants as much as the DLC from Outer Wilds could do, on some parts. (Not gonna spoil anything since Outer Wilds progression is based purely on knowledge). Subnautica was also surprisingly terrifying. Having a nice swim can turn dark real quick, and it’s filled with suspension and ‘the unknown’.

So I was wondering which games unexpectedly freaked you out. I’d like to explore some more titles on this - especially if it like the above mentioned OW and Subnautica. Suspension is the real fear, as soon as you see the monster/alien/bad guy, that tension is gone.

    I never liked jumpscares, I always liked horror movies that try to scare you with their ambience and psychology of the characters more. One of my favourite movies is BlairWitch Project (not the new one)

    So in that sense, The Forrest was absolutely fantastic.
