Just what the topic says: It's Halloween (or, depending on where you
live, it was Halloween. Hello Australia!). You need to play a spooky
video game. What game do you pick?
I think I'll go with "The Suffering". It's an older title, and gets a
bit tedious near the end, but it is surprisingly creepy... especially
at the start, before you collect your usual armory. The design of the monsters - representing the various ways people have died at the
haunted prison in which you find yourself ensconced - are all quite
well done, and the game makes good use of light and sound.
"Outlast" is pretty good too, in terms of creating a horrific
atmosphere... but I find the whole "you're powerless to fight the
monster" gameplay more annoying than enjoyable. But it can be
wonderfully creepy.
So... how are you scaring yourself this Halloween?

Luigi's Mansion, too much of a scardy to play a more intense horror
game. Maybe FNAF.

Nothing. :P

Came here to say Luigi's Mansion!
Also Resident Evil 4, predictable I know, but haven't played it much
before so now is the chance....
Scared ants?

"Resident Evil 7" has its moments too (especially the first half of
the game, when it rivals "Outlast" in some of its icky scares.

I couldn't get into after playing it for free in my local CompUSA since
I am not into adventure genre! I don't know if I mentioned in here or
not. I was playing it on a demo PC. And then, I got a crowd watching.
And then, my mom found me and told me it was time to go. Ha. Anyways,
the game was pretty but boring to me. :P

Normal, or VR? because holy crap. The "dinning with the family" scene in
the beginning can get icky with a headset.

Well, there aren't a lot of people who remember "7th Guest" for its
story (quick! What was the name of the villain? Do you even
remember?)[2] or its gameplay.

I liked and played adventure games a lot back then but the game was
pretty but boring to me as well. But if you had a CD-ROM drive back
in the early days of the medium, it was kind of a given that you
would have the 7th Guest.
I really can't say I have any* as although I've played a few horror
games they just seem to rely on jump scares. The other problem I have is
that unless I feel some sort of connection with the character you're
playing I just don't feel the horror however horrific the situation is.
So my horror of choice is Call of Cthulhu RPG where I do feel a
connection that I just don't getting in video games and you're often in situations where you feel powerless. We played last night and the end
scene was me helping a very troubled old man to die by shooting him
through the heart. That does get my emotions going.
*The one scary moment I do remember though was in HL:1 when the accident happens and you get transported to Xen. That completely shifted my expectations on what type of game I was playing. Oh and the part much
later on where you are navigating paths around a high cliff. That
brought my vertigo on.

Movies I guess, but even then they usually don't get to me. The Ring
should probably be my go-to, but I didn't watch that.

For me, Rebel Assault 1 even though it was linear and short.
I regretted buying it. :(
