I wasn't either apparently. Its actually way worse when you're playing it yourself. The game does a great job making it feel like you're part of the environment..
Seriously though Outlast could be up there and probably even Bioshock. It's not scary like the others but the immersion is great. Hearing a Splicers rants in the distance is pretty creepy.
I really enjoy horror game but have never played a game that i consider really scary, i played Outlast and it did make me jump a few times especially the jump scare near the start :P
Dead Space is horrifying, it's the only horror games that have literally made me sick to my stomach because it makes me so scared/anxious/nervous. So yes, please, play it. You won't regret it.
I don't play too much scary games but maybe Slender, Resident Evil 4,Bioshock and Left for Dead
Can someone tell me if Dead Space is good ? cause i wanna try it
Dead Space 2. Returning to the Ishimura, knowing what happened there, and then being confronted by hordes of Necromorphs, I literally almost threw up thinking about it when the story told me it was time to go check it out.
I haven't played many scary games.. but Amnesia: The Dark Descent was just ridiculous. Its a terror from the minute you start playing. I thi… morenk I came pretty close to finishing it before.. but couldn't do it. It recommends you play it in a dark room with headphones to really get into the environment... and yeah. I can't even explain it really. Its just intense. Your character can actually go insane and becomes a sobbing mess on the floor if you aren't careful.. which can potentially attract monsters to come and kill you... so that's always fun. You can't even fight back against the monsters, you just have to run for your life or find a place to hide.
Think I'll give it another shot.

I'm not easily scared... Not bragging but its true. I almost gave up on horror until I played Amnesia The Dark Descent. No game has come close. And I realize why. Its because you have no means of defending yourself. You hide or you die.. That simple. People are talking about Dead Space and such when that game never came close to scaring me. Why should I be scared when I can shoot at everything that moves? Give me no guns whatsoever then and only then will I consider it horror. Oh and play the free DLC Justine.... That is actually scarier than the base game and thats saying a lot!... Justine is especially terrifying when you discover what its all about!
Outlast also worked in the same way. Give you no means of fighting back..... Give me more like this please!

In some ways yes and no. The hospital setting is really creepy especially when you discover whats been going on there. They also mix it up by having more than just 1 type of enemy after you. That big guy going "HERE PIGGY PIGGY" was truly terrifying. On the other hand they always gave you an escape. If the guy too close you can run to a narrow corridor and he can't follow. Also he's scripted to only show up in certain parts. That one relied a lot on scripted events to bring the scary. AmnesiaTDD has the scarier atmosphere and it always give you that feeling of nowhere is safe. Its story is also much more disturbing the more you discover the truth.
You'd probably have to play it yourself. FNAF is one of those atmospheric games. A lot of the paranoia comes from not being able to move or defend yourself other than shutting the doors, plus you have to worry about conserving power. The jump scares only happen if you fail. The game also has subtle details that add to its creepiness.
'Five Nights At Freddy's' and 'Among The Sleep', even though being Indie titles are goddamn horrifying.
This fucking asshole is the reason why we can't have nice things.
Another one was SIREN: Blood Curse. Game freaked me out! Going back in time but Clock Tower; mind you, I was just a punk ass kid, so this scared the pants off of me! XD
The enemies aren't scary, but it's just the atmosphere, world and audio that gets to you. There's a terrifying mechanic in the game too called sightjack that allows you to "tune in" to the enemies sight allowing you to see what they see. The idea is you use it to work out where the enemies are (you tune in using the analog sticks in their direction) and see how to avoid them (they can't die) or where a needed object is or code etc.

That damn Durance of Hate with the Lake of Blood and Bridge of Skulls that leads to the Portal to Hell that was summoned through the souls of the screaming damned terrified me.
Anyone who hasn't played Diablo 2 (A.K.A myself) has absolutely NO clue what you were on about.
Diablo 2, man. Then again, I was only 5 or 6 years old when I played it, so being really young contributed to that quite a bit. Walking thro… moreugh dark temples and running into a pile of corpses out of nowhere really screwed with my mind back then. That damn Durance of Hate with the Lake of Blood and Bridge of Skulls that leads to the Portal to Hell that was summoned through the souls of the screaming damned terrified me.

I just watched Markiplier and others play it. I'm not man enough to play this. XD

Scooby Doo Mystery Mayhem. 7 spooky 23 me.

DeadSpace
IMVU - scary level maximum.
The original Obscure and Silent Hill are probably right up there for me as scariest.

I played it twice... Cause I'm hardcore like that. The free DLC Justine is even scarier! OMG just thinking about it is freaking me out.

I couldn't get past the sewers. Not sure if that's close to the end or not. I'll probably start over at some point
I had Justine as well, never gave it a shot though.
Would you say Outlast was any better than Amnesia? (In the sense of being more scary)
In some ways yes and no. The hospital setting is really creepy especially when you discover whats been going on there. They also mix it up by having more than just 1 type of enemy after you.

Really? I watched a letsplay of Five Night At Freddy's and I didn't get scared at all. I don't understand why is everyone so freaked out
Well, I played home alone with all the lights turned off. So there's that.

I guess you have to play it. That fox that runs through the hallway scared the shit outta me.
That is fucking terrifying. By Jesus, that's gonna haunt my nightmares.
I can't sleep it's becoming a problem now for real.
It's 5am here.
Alan Wake.
That thing was so damned creepy, I didn't even finish it.
I liked the game but I also stopped playing it, but only because I was so damn bad at it..
My 2 fav scary games are Amnesia TDD and Outlast(+ the Dlc).
Resident Evil 5... It was scarilly dissapointing.

Oh ups sorry, fixed it
I played Outlast and Five Night at Freddy's, but SCP containment breach still creeps me out more.
Among the Sleep is really scary.
Forbidden Siren.
