Real scary PC games.

This, although one of the scariest levels that I've played in a game has to be Shalebrigde Cradle from Thief Deadly Shadows.

It felt like they kept the horror and action sides seperated by a brick wall at all times.

The disconnect was that every gamer knew Alma couldn't impede their progress or really hurt them in any way, so everytime she'd pop out it'd be more of a cutscene.
"Oh, hello again. I see that blood and crow thing is still working out for you. That's nice. Well, until next time. I'm going to go fight some things that can actualy kill me. See you in, say, 10 minutes?"

So true unfortunately, they just swapped it with a QTE in the second which is just as bad, if Alma could just randomly kill you sometime during the game it would have been better.

Penumbra: Black Plague.

Surprised that hasn't been said with the big PC written in the title.

Edit: (oh it has, just slipped by me eyes)

Penubras are in FPS view but you use the mouse to pick things from the game environment up. It's mostly psychological horror with one or two monster things in it, but not much combat.This video shows bits of how you use the mouse to interact with things better than I can explain.
[small]This is the first one from 2006 so when it boasts about it's graphics remember that[/small]

Edit: lol at the flying bird thing in that video. Only played the second one and haven't seen that yet.

please don't do the /thread thing, its really quite annoying

anyway, i think fatal frame was rather scary

also, if you have a gamecube, try the game that turns your tv off and flickers your console and things, i can't remember what it was called, but it freaked me out

damn that shizz looks spooky, if I had enough money to get a game I'd probably check that out

 

[rokkolpo]

i think it was called the path.

real freaky

 

[Shadowfaze]

i know some others have said it, but Vampires the masquerade: bloodlines is really quite scary. especially late at night, in a dark room, with headphones.

 

[damselgaming]

the original Alone in the dark games weren't too bad, quite scary for their times. Condemned was very intense but like the OP said the sequel isn't on pc. I don't know if the fatal frame games are on pc, if they are get them.

nope not on PC but I've played Fatal Frame 1 on my PS2... honestly one of the best gaming experinces I've had in my entire life.

Oh man, when you hear a ghost moaning and you don't know where it is, it is truly terrifying.

Personally the controller shaking with her heart beat REALLY pulled me in, soooo freaked me out every time the thing started shaking.

That and the detail of the ghosts. Remember the old lady with the broken neck?

I played through this for the first time since I was 13 this week. I had nightmares about the man with the long arms. Yick.

 

[rokkolpo]

Oh my god, Fatal Frame.



You will not sleep.



Ever.

ow yeah.flashbacks. that was god-awful.

Vampire the Masquerade : Bloodlines.

It's just for one bit in a haunted house, but it's so well done. The first time I played it, I had to shut it off and play again in daylight.

Ah I freaking hated that.
Especially since I only had a pistol, with 4 shots when I went in.
It felt like it was the hardest quest to do, and then i realized I didnt even fire a shot

You can get the set on steam of $20 and just one (I think it's the newest) for $15. *I'm in America so Amarican dolars.*

Heh, did you go into third person at any point? Biiig surprises there...

Spoiler

Occasionally something comes up on the screen just behind you. If you turn to look at it, it dissapears. I genuinely found it fucking terrifying.

 

[TheMasterGL16]

So, ok here's what I'm willing to settle for guys... a CREEPY game, that is good for Halloween, but mostly is just really fun to play.

I'm willing to let scary slide a little since it looks like options are limited.

Yeap, I had to switch out of first person because it scared the crap out of me, only to see her right behind me.

Also the second house they make you go to, later on in the game. You sneak in from the second floor down into the basement, and it has the blood all over the place..creepy stuff.

 

[G1eet]

I've played Condemned, and really liked it... lol

Have you played the second one?

The part with uh... THAT FUCKING BEAR THAT LOOKED LIKE A JAWS-BEAR. That got me riled up.
