What do you guys consider to be the scariest horror game that you have played? Amnesia: The Dark Descent was a really scary one in my opinion. I played it in one sitting last halloween, and I was basically on edge throughout the entire experience. I also really enjoyed the first Dead Space game. The game had a really great atmosphere and I thought it had a pretty interesting story. Tell me your favorites!
I couldn't finish Amnesia, honestly. It really was scary, and I just got too paranoid to finish it. Kudos to you for playing it in one sitting.
I suppose this is more of a psychological horror, but nonetheless, for me it would have to be 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors. It's a visual novel for the DS, though rather than the typical definition of a game. Somewhat reminds me of Saw, but I honestly probably read 3~10 hours worth of text in a sitting, though I suppose the game's puzzles took sometime. The character development is just amazing and the plot is unveiled at just the right pace; it felt like an emotional roller coaster of paranoia. By the end of it I was totally mind blown. It's not entirely graphically gory, but having a bomb explode in a guy's stomach for disobeying the game's rules in the first 20 minutes, described down to the yellow bile, was a bit much for me.
