I don't know how much of a dumb cunt you have to be to wish it was real just so you wouldn't be wrong

Unnerving instead of jump scares

Momo is cute! Cute!
Robert Cruz
The dumbest thing about it is that the image itself has existed for a bazillion years already
Jacob Jenkins
Can someone explain “momo” to me?
I haven’t heard of this because people I know aren’t very retarded.
Liam Brown
QUICK!
Respond to this post with an "eoo" to protect yourself!
Nathaniel Price
How do you know it's retarded if you've never heard of it?
Colton Baker
This.
A jump scare catches you once for a few seconds to a minute. But disturbing you lasts hours, can even be permanent like with old Horror movies like Final Destination and the original IT.
Carter Myers

Just tell them you cant go on youtube for a few days why the fuck would you explain the momo shit to them.
Dylan Ross
It's a self defeating genre. The more popular it gets, the less effective it becomes due to exposure.
Lucas Peterson
Based on context of thread. I hadn’t heard of it outside of the comments in this thread.
Nolan Ortiz
I love momo!
Ayden Harris
Pure cute, you mean

Damn mexican memes

Was it? I could've believed it, sounds just like the blue whale game where similar shit happened and they caught the guy behind it.

More games like Darkwood. Amazing setting, simple and combat that is satisfying but still tense, disgusting imagery, a mystery to solve, unique mechanics, no scripted jumpscares and no fake jumpscares. If it's loud it will probably try to chew your face off.
Brody Rivera
Damn darkwood is a good game that I need to revisit. Never got past the second area

It's just a mask that supposedly spooks children in youtube videos into killing themselves, but it was all a hoax

It's some sculpture someone made for an art project.

Nicholas Torres
The point is that it's part of the zeitgeist, it's just another meme floating around now. Same as the yeti or w/e, the idea itself will just keep on spreading.
Bentley Evans
what even was this? someone uploaded pictures of that face with "LUL IT WOULD BE HELLA EPIC TO KYS YOURSELF FOR BIG INTERNET UPVOTES" and kids actually did it? I dont understand. Every article I read just says it "somehow" managed to convince kids to kill themselves
Hudson Lewis
Go the opposite route. Make it a game about ghosts being chased by people wanting to fuck them.
Charles Butler
This.
Connor Foster

What the fuck is this Momo thing? There were videos for children and someone edited her in and said creepy things to kid or what?
Jonathan Johnson
+ Don't rely to jump scares like an autistic sperg all the time
+ Use the environment to create the creepy atmosphere
+ Make the game's character have a sense of purpose without being executed in a cheesy way
Samuel Murphy
It was just a statue someone made.
Bentley Nguyen
Just another zoomer variant of slenderman

scariest moment of my gaming life was accidentally walking into the wilderness with my cash stack and hearing the ice barrage sound. horror games need an element of risk and loss to make them actually scary. if i die in a horror game i dont really care because i can reload at a checkpoint and avoid whatever killed me
Robert Moore
Make a game where you play as someone with schizophrenia or something.
Carson Campbell
I want to fuck this Pink haired slut
Jeremiah Sullivan
I'd add
+ give value to the player's stock or run within that save as to create tension.
(If you can save scum all day, the tension kind of dies)
+ focus on enemy patterns and figuring out the "trick" to avoiding or fooling enemies.

>M-m-muh jumpscares
>They just startle me! That's not real fear!
1. Explain why a jumpscare isn't scary. If you use words like "startled" or "shock", describe those words without using or relating to human state of fear.
2. All seriousness aside, you need Jumpscares in games as a threat to make the other parts of the game more scary. I'm legitimately more afraid of the moments leading UP to a jumpscare. I haven't even flinched at a jumpscare in the last 5 years. And there have been some ones that I even admit were really well done.
Hunter Clark
Does anyone have the jewtube links to Momo randomly popping in kid's stuff?
Lincoln Bailey
1. Because they're not actually frightening, it's literally just surprising stimuli. It's like saying your door bell ringing as you're concentrating on something is good horror content because it made you flinch.
2. If you know a jumpscare is coming then it doesn't even surprise you so you don't even get that novelty factor, which is most of the time since they are usually telegraphed to fuck and back by hack game designers.
Jacob James
Was there new porn of momo after it got revived or no?
Aaron Martin
Jack Hill
The latest incarnation of chain mail, this time with added chance for kids to kill themselves in order to “save their parents”.

Adam Anderson
Some statue someone made for a project that first got popular because of a phone number that if you added it would threaten you in Spanish and send you gore, it got popular recently but this time apparently some kids videos had been edited with momo appearing and telling the kids to do shit like killing themselves or their parents
Nathan Collins
I mean there was literally never a single example uncovered of a kid's video actually containing anything related to the big panic
Brayden Green
1. Surprising stimuli is waking up to a blowjob, or getting a surprise birthday party. You're just trying to redefine actual fear and being scared into something else for convenience factor.
2. That's IF you know the jumpscare is coming, of which the same could be said of any scare. Once you know the fear, you acclimate to it, which is one of the benefits of horror stories. If you try to make the argument that "some people are still scared by muh deep horror", then we can simply point out there are people who are scared by jumpscares EVERY single time even if they know it's coming. Also, it being telegraphed is part of what builds up the fear. You KNOW it's coming, it's just a matter of when. That doesn't diminish the threat, but rather gives weight to it.
William Edwards
ugly people sure are scary.

That image above has been recently used by somebody where if you contact them, they will give you a creepy request to do something retarded or else

Momo was a Greek myth about a female baby eater, so it was probably made up by Ancient Greek little boy fuckers to get kids to turn to the gay by making them afraid of women. It was also probably made to scare the girls in lesbos from doing lesbian sex with all the women there, so the men can marry them as virgins after all the gay sex they had and would have afterwards. 100% true.
It was an actual Greek myth though:

Well according to wikipedia the artist had to discard the sculpture because the materials used to make it started to rot away. Kept one of the eyes though.
Brayden Martinez
Cute and funnypilled.
Jack Anderson
Here is another interpretation of her
Tyler Richardson
I can disregard pretty much everything about this but pretending the Alien franchise was ever meant to be horror is absurd.
Zachary Nelson
It had to be disposed of because the rubber was decaying or something.
Landon Fisher
Thats pretty hot
Nolan Sanders
it was thrown away before the momo thing happened
Tyler Wood
Would you let her eat you?
Jack Brown
Alien should have went the full H.R Giger route instead of Aliens
Ayden Cruz
>let your stupid kids be babysat by the internet
>be surprised when they do stupid shit
Only bad thing about this situation is a cool artist got his name dragged through the mud for no reason
apparently it was made out of organic materials and had already begun to decay. No way to preserve or restore it, so might as well toss it out anyway at that point.
Matthew Scott
At least in 3 and Covenant we got some beautiful hybrid works.
Juan Price

I don't know why people keep pretending this image is in any way creepy when it's so blatantly unconvincing. Spamming it does it far less favors since it only benefits from the rarity of it's appearances-meaning seeing it one time in passing haunts the person more than repeated exposures.
youtube.com
there's a creepier webm version of this video floating around.
Mason Morris
Black and white expressionistic horror game when?
Brayden Collins
Don't know about that user, but I'm very much okay with being eaten if that's the way I'm to go out.
Cooper Smith
More classic Gothic horror games, Castlevania is a good start now make it scary.

You can start by never asking any gaming community ever. These are some of the worst ideas I've ever read.

you keep it up and you'll single-handedly turn the rest of this topic into an android 21 thread.

Yeah wouldn't that be spooky? haha.

It wasn't supernatural, the claim was that people were editing her into kids' youtube videos and directing them to light their houses on fire and shit

Blue whale was fake also senpai. There's zero proof that an incident happened before the creepypasta was posted just like Momo bullshit

>Alien
>not horror
What? The goddamn thing was designed by H.R. Giger and had the tagline "In Space No-one Can Hear you Scream"
If you're talking about "Aliens" then you'd have a point, but the first movie is clearly a horror movie user
Nicholas Baker
"Horror" just relies mostly on jump scares and chasing, but this isn't scary rather it's more thrilling. It's meant to make your adrenaline run.
Games should be turning more to the surreal, confusing, and uncomfortable. Horror that makes you think, that stays bothering you, give and take away kind of stuff. Think Google Dream, it's meant to be an advancement in tech but in practice it's something from H.P. Lovecraft that the brain can't process well. You want to stay in that uncanny valley. The mechanics should also compliment facing these phobias, like in the Fatal Frame series.
Henry Price
Then why are the aliens so fucking hot?
Christopher Sullivan
what the fuck are you talking about
They've literally talked about how they wanted to make a movie that would make male viewers as uncomfortable as possible, hence the forced male impregnation, oral rape, phallus as a weapon/mouth, etc
