I feel like I've played a good amount of horror titles, and I find I don't really get scared much anymore.

What are some titles that scared you the most? I would love to hear your recommendations!

I thought it was pretty good! There were definitely some tense moments for sure

But what type of spooky are you looking for?

[–] Megaman_EXE@beehaw.org 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Oh man, absolutely anything to make me feel dread or have me not knowing what to expect. Which is vague, I know. I feel like I've played so many horror games that they start to feel too gamey? If that makes any sense? It's like I can predict when scares will happen or the gamey aspects sometimes don't immerse me.

Oddly enough, subnautica really had me on my toes a few years back. Fatum Betula was an indie that also gave me some heeby jeebies but wasn't exactly scary either.

I feel like I'll probably need to crawl through dozens of indie titles or something. Or possibly go back to titles made prior to 2005. I'm also not caught up on recent games in the past couple of years, so maybe there's something special I've missed.

But I'm also just curious to hear what made everyone else scared, too!

Welp, as a tie-over I can recommend plowing through some of the stuff on Gamejolt.

There's a few pretty good indie spookies for free. They aren't too long, but have some pretty good concepts if nothing else.

But yeah, one tends to get a bit numb on horror after a while. It helps to take a break every now and then.

I don't know if I've ever been on gamejolt before, thanks, I'll take a look!

Yeah, that makes sense. I guess I'm chasing that next scare. Something to wow me again, haha. I'm sure there's gotta be something out there
