12. Don’t be wasteful
When I accidentally killed my horse in Skyrim. :'(
The first time it happened, I actually screamed. Then I skinned it because my first character isn’t the type to waste resources.
13. Never saw it swimming
In Resident Evil 4, I was just shooting the water at the end of a pier because I thought I’d get the fish.
When that big fish came up and ate me, I actually almost crapped myself.
14. But only a bit
When I was 11 Halo CE came out. I don’t play horror games, and didn’t expect anything like the flood was going to pop up. It creeped me out a bit how closed in the library level was… it was a bit scary to 11 year old me.
15. Bitter
My sister unplugged my Battlefront II save file when I was saving to the card and it got corrupted. She wanted to watch TV.
I had hundreds of hours of stats on that account. I’m still not over it.
16. But only the ankles
There was an evil hamster in the Hamtaro videogame that used to give me nightmares. I was convinced he would emerge from the baseboards and stab my ankles.
The “water” part of the original amnesia.
17. It knows me
Metal Gear Solid 2 when Raiden is running around naked and the game starts “glitching”, there was a part where it says not to sit so close to the TV and you should get some rest or something along those lines… it was 3am and I was sitting right in front of the TV. I just shut the game off.
18. Nope
When I was in middle school I got MYST for my DS. It’s totally silent except for possible machines you turned on or clues. In one building there were these books. You open them and there are screens inside with fuzzy moving images of people talking in creepy, old radio-like voices. NOPE.
19. That’s not creepy at all
Alien Isolation. Medical Bay. When a person sends you to look for something in an area where the alien is actively searching for you. You can’t just hide and wait for it to go away. It will not go away. It waits. For you. Because it LEARNS.
Took me a month to beat that part.
Then the Hive level.
Took me more than a year to beat Alien Isolation.
Recommended.
20. Haunting
Being up 14-1 round in CS:GO only for the opposing team to win every single round after that to win the game. It was terrifying and I still think about it often.
21. Look away
That part in Dead Space 2 with the laser in the eyeball.
Anything eye related makes me freak out, it’s as if my eyeballs don’t want to see their kin being hurt in any way.
22. Real vs. Fake
Condemned. Minus the hallucinations, the mannequin sequence in that game was so well designed. The AI is basically designed to move ever so slightly right when they are about to leave your line of sight and make noise when you’re not looking.
When the game has you going around smacking mannequins just to make sure they aren’t real you know it’s done a good job of getting under your skin.
