For me, it was Ghost Town and how quickly you can crash the game if you venture out too far into the sear closeby or near that one section with the garbled mess that can crash the game too if you get close to it.

This shit. Especially when I only started playing and the mobs in the cemetery were hitting like a truck, holy shit this was unnerving.

Liberty City as a whole, if you listen well, gives a very spooky vibe with the sounds of objects, people and cars making some kind of echo. The weather doesn't help at all as well.

Gmod. Half Life 2 DM, TF2. You always expect something to happen.

a lot of places in PS2 era GTA are like this. GTA3 is probably the most eerie. If anyone else found the hobos in the tunnel with the molotovs while on foot they can probably relate. everything in gta3 is gray. it rains all the time. the npcs spout one-liners that are sometimes funny but mostly just weird, and their voices echo. phone booths ring, and the voice on the other end summons you to bring him his enemies so he can turn them into dog food. drive without the radio on sometime, very strange feelings from this game.

Fuck You

This exact combination did it for me too. I think it had something to do with a fear of the ocean, the things in it, and being metal making you sink.

Office gives me the vibe that you get when you arrive at your work/school early in a cold day and you're minding your business until the rest of the people arrive.

i remember intentionally blocking those areas off with props whenever i was fucking around on construct alone because it spooked me so much

I literally had nightmares about the place in WoW where the emerald dream portal was. The one that's guarded by a twilight dragon. I think it was in duskwood?

I wouldn't get near the portal because I was honestly afraid that a hand would pop and snatch my character to hell or something

Not to invoke a meme, but there's a "souless' element to those Bethesda mods that are basically just level design with enemies placed in it. They can feel disconnected, really hostile and barren in contrast to the rest of the game.
A lot of mods suffer from it unintentionally, but I know a few that also utilize it; I'd recommend checking out Area 51 for New Vegas.

Probably one of my favorite experiences from this game, seeing it off in the distance from the upper east part of the map and thinking wtf is that giant box out there. Also seeing the one giant spider boss puzzle thingy moving around on the volcano at the beginning of the game.

This is highly amusing to me. back in vanilla as soon as I got my mount I tried running anywhere and everywhere that was off limits either by design or level of enemies.
I was pretty disappointed when nothing happened at the dark portal but getting into the unfinished mount hyjal was neat.

thanks

That feeling of knowing that someone is watching you through their scope in he distance, but not firing until your done looting. Heart rate spikes, when you hear the snap. I’ve had to turn off my pc and just sit there for a few mins after losing all my shit in this game.

Probably, same vibe as schools at night.

Code Talker's mansion made me feel real uneasy the first time I visited, the hastily-dug graves outside especially. You never see any sort of lab or anything on the premises so you never see the smoking gun that killed your men, and your mind is left to wander thinking about how and why your intel guys met a fate worse than just death.

Fuck, I remember that place, it was weird, what was it called again?

I kind of get where you coming from cause the game was just really clunky in general, but I was more disappointed than anything. I had played only a little bit when I was younger and had recently emulated it and it just doesn't compare to bfbb or the movie game at all in quality. It actually kind of felt like a prototype game or something when I think about it, which really does lend itself to a weird vibe.

I FUCKING HATE THE SPA IN STARDEW VALLEY.
first of all, it's blocked off by a landslide that an earthquake clears away. Then, all of a sudden, there's a well-maintained totally vacant totally free spa. The reason it's so unnerving is there's not a single soul in the building, and the FANS ARE ON.

Hazy maze cave is an unsettling level in general. Just a lot of weirdly disjointed rooms, pits, and the music. That room particularly feels out of place.
Dorrie also has this cute but creepy vibe which is probably why Nintendo made it cuter and friendlier looking in the DS game.

I was scared of the yellow gas areas for some reason but the room with the loch ness monster made me feel safe. The ghost level was more of a nightmare to me.

The city of ancients or whatever it's called from FFVII always had this odd feeling of stunning beauty mixed with haunting desolation and isolation, an off putting feeling.

And any random encounter in the desert in Fallout 1 & 2 with the haunting music in the background also had an isolated chilling feeling.

>So were the Korriban tombs.

Scariest moment in DayZ happened to me here. I was looking around one of the cells in that building by the hangars and some guy came out of the corner out of nowhere and we both freaked out and shot at each other with our pistols. I wasn't sure if I hit him, but once I ran out of ammo I booked it out of there and into the woods without looking back.

Some of the environments in the game. Especially when you play on higher difficulties the corpses come back to life. You'll see floating facehuggers and aliens moving toward you before springing up back to life. It's pretty jarring if the map is completely empty and you're completely alone.

the zones arent random, the way WoW works is that all the zones are stacked on top of each other like floors in a skyscraper, so if you fall through the ground in one you wind up at the top of the skybox in the one 'below' it.

need a good horror game that abuses the shit out of suspense and fear exploiting rather than a jumpscare every 5 seconds

What is it about low-poly environments in older games that are so disturbing and unsettling? The obvious answer is something about creating a believable universe. A story that is told through characters, situations, weapons, etc. Allowing gameplay experience to reflect real world situations is part of the charm of low-poly environments; how believable a world feels. Low-poly experiences in older games may be very good, but they have the potentials to feel so fake that you're not aware what's going on.

The key to making this happen is the right set of tools for each game; they are very specific to what game-dev knows as a "low-poly", and how they'll fit within that context. It should be remembered that the "low-poly" world doesn't have to fit within a "low-poly" world: there are plenty of environments that aren't technically games with this "low-poly" element, but do still have an "inadequately detailed" quality. The same goes for textures; one could argue for high resolution textures because everything is high quality to begin with, but then how does that translate to the game-world itself? If we're really talking about "worlds", are we comparing them to something that is a very specific physical object, or are we really looking at high quality worlds and low quality textures?

There are a few Dunsany stories that exploit the horror of this feeling.

It's something to do with the fact that low-poly, slow moving games are almost less stimulating than just sitting in your room doing nothing. The mundane nature of these games, limited by their plainly seen skybox and corners with repeating music give off a feeling of unnatural despair.

I think Trainwiz's mod Wheels of Lull kind of does this, the Thalmor compound that you go too is bare as fuck sans the weird glitchy looking abominations around. Aside from those enemy's it's rather plain looking as you try to get out it's pretty damn spooky.

Part of the vigilant mod invokes a same feeling but it also has creepy mansion vibes going for it more than what you said.

This game was honestly fun and scary despite being crazy jank. It came free with my PS1 and I remember really digging it back in the day.

Much more fun with how everyone can be packing heat, like a doubly surreal universe where everywhere’s a small to giant shootout.

Only marginally related, but in GTA III if you used the cheat code to change models with a pedestrian, sometimes you would turn into this guy. Normally at the end of the game every gang is hostile to you (which makes most of the map impossible to traverse without getting destroyed on sight) but if you turn into this guy, every gang ignores you. I don't even think they would fight back if you shot at them.

As a kid I developed a fear of this guy because I didn't understand why everyone was too afraid to start a fight with him.

Man, I would sometimes use the mall as my stronghold position while I went on a killing rampage. I would barricade myself in one of the stores and see how long I could last against the cops.

le epic spooky but not really spooky ha ha upvoted

Agreed. I always found the Mall in Vice City very unnerving. ... Probably one of the darkest video game memories is stealing the Lamborghini which is on display inside the mall and mowing down the crowds of shoppers with just the sound of the mall music playing. Extremely fucking dark, and made me want to turn the game off.

RE4 isn't particularly spooky, but there are some moments where they really upped up the atmosphere. The very final regenerator you meed isn't even that scary per se, but the entire set up, the light and feel of it is incredible. Made me really wish they went for a more somber approach with less action, since when they do it's fantastic.

I guess that kind of mindset isn't too out-there, especially for ""deconstruction"" (couldn't think of a better term) kinds of games like Undertale, considering it's a long-standing joke that RPG protags just barge into people's houses and ransack their shit.

Holy fucking shit, that was Vault 34. I remember sneaking around in there the first time I played it, minding my own business thinking I'd cleared the ghouls on one level, and then I turned and a feral was charging me, arm pulled back, about to strike. Scared the shit out of me.
All the vaults in NV and 3 that were "dead" were pretty fucking creepy though. Gary, the hallucinating one, plant one, all fucked.

i just recently played croc for the ps1. it's not too creepy but it has the cramped early 3d feeling along with mixing out of place objects like you would do in a 2d platformer. early 3d platformers in general are very wtf.

This game is so good though, apart from the insane load times on PS2. The atmosphere from the lighting/modelling/music/sound effects was incredible for the era. I don't think any Potter game has come close to duplicating what a reader feels when experiencing the first couple books.

Yeah, it's basically a tasteless and cheap recreation of real life, plus everything in this game has mid-late 90s/early 00s feeling. And of course some of the hidden stuff is intentionally creepy, like that meat factory, gimp factory, houses with blood, sewers etc. Also this description applies to Bloodlines, too, oddly enough.

The lodge in condemned 2 with the bear

The entirety of Glover is eerie.

any early 3D era graveyard is weird. They feel like a bad trip while watching a tim burton movie.

There's a small shed attached to an apartment south-west of the faggot bar in Watch_Dogs 2, in some sort of conjunction of 3 backyards that requires you to jump over a hedge to get inside. You can find a bunch of NPCs in the area occasionally, but the most unsettling part is the weird screaming and groaning coming from the shed itself. The screaming itself sounds like a dog whimpering in pain, but then there's clearly human screams of agony and terror, and it's pretty fucked up. It's strange because none of the NPCs comment on it, and the fact that barely anyone played the game means that there's literally no discussion on what it could be. There's some other weird shit like the Grifter easter egg quest and the Zodiac Killer quests, but they've been covered to death.

GTA3 in general was spooky if there weren't NPCs around.

this spot right here is fucking unnerving as fuck. just a pier with a wheelchair, but more unnerving to me is the nearby hut that glows red at night with no discernible lightsource.

pic related. also underneath the floating island with the ruins, it's literally nothing but water for hundreds of meters. i can't look down usually when traversing that area.

Was just thinking about that, Why don't game devs do cool shit like having a fucked up thing follow and fuck with you throughout the game? Have like a 1 in 10 million chance of it happening so only a handful players witness it, Maybe a deformed entity made out of random models so you can't exactly trace it in the games files, Just the code that triggers it maybe.

Yeah, it's pretty depressing in hindsight. You can even find his Dad in a nearby tavern talking about his son left to try to save anyone and never came back. Of course 5 year old me missed most of this was just freaked the hell out. It wasn't until I replayed it later on that I got the full story. If I remember correctly he does just vanish if you enter the grove in the Light World prior to finding him in the Dark World.

Is this the name of a game or a reference to something in a game? I'm searching "Watch the sky game" and not finding anything.

True I always felt creeped out by that game but don’t really know why

The reliance on jumpscares should have died in the 1980s. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to say that jumpscares don't get me, they often do, but damn if they aren't lazy and a piss-poor crutch.

All the weird secret stuff in Bully gave me the heebie-jeebies like the abandoned pirate ship and the asylum. God-tier atmosphere.

Even 80s jumpscares had more work put into them. Look at the operation scene in The Thing. It's a jumpscare when the guy's chest opens up, but the whole scene feels unsettling and tense already.

It goes to show how good Rockstar was at setting details.

I remember the father, but I guess I just didn't pay enough attention and that's surprises me because I re-played it in recent years (3 years ago), now that I think about it, was there a reason why he had the Ocarina?

This right here. Fallout 3 and New Vegas both give me those vibes, but the AWOP and Interior mods amplify it tenfold. Regardless, I found playing TTW with those mods to be very comfy and enjoyable despite creeping me out a lot.

Is the House of Jump Scares good?

Jumpscare are essential, but they should be kept at a very low count and be placed only in occasions that gets the players really off guard.

Man I should really play Bully someday.

That's fair. I guess I'm mostly just bitter about how a lot of contemporary games feel like a roller coaster of "HURR DURR JUMPY JUMPY" over and over. In the example you give, which I remember freaking me the fuck out the first time I saw it, they put a lot more into it than just the physical jump scare itself. It's easy to trigger the biological startle response, it's much harder to actually psychologically scare someone and I feel like that art isn't very common in modern vidyas.

In LttP it was just normal flute, not a special instrument like the Ocarina of Time, etc.

Definitely agree with the game as a whole. The Piggsy part actually didn't get me that much though, I think because it was during the Piggsy battle that I realized how atrociously bad the AI was at finding you in shadows. How I got through the entire game without noticing that, I had no idea, but when the SWAT/Security/Etc. guys could be standing 10" from you staring straight at Cash and not see him, it just killed the atmosphere for me.

Some parts of the psx spiderman games felt like a bad trip

Attached: spiderman.png (1920x1080, 2.14M)

I always liked to wander thru some multiplayer maps in mostly-single-player FPSes like COD 1-2, Far Cry 1, Chrome, and whatever else. Sepecially Far Cry, beacuse since i got a lot of 5-in-1 pirated DVD's there were a lot of fan-made weird maps.
You know how there is that weird feeling of exploring a totally empty map, it's kinda like wandering throug empty schhool rooms, except there is absolute 0% probability someone would actually come in.
The creepiest ones were Battlefield 1942 or 2 after i realised that desert that surrounded every map was stretching for god knows how long so the map itself is like a small island in the middle of weird empty desert.
Or a Black Hawk Down online maps because town levels were surrounded by some kind of infinite(?) procedurally-generated desert without any borders so you could wander for like 15 minutes running straight and get lost.

Agree, creepy ass half developed game.

is it true there are vampires and shit to find? I never came across anything like that.

Also another one: Mysterio's funhouse of doom in spider-man 2, all the distorted spidey's coming out of the warped mirrors.

Anyone have that webm where the sub uses sonar and finds a ship but the closer they get to the ship its actually a monster?

Honestly, same. It's gotten to the point where I get dissapointed that most games just kill you when you fall under the map instead of getting to recreate those experiences I had as a kid.
I also get nostalgic when I think of the times I loaded a custom track in MM2 the wrong way named "Lost City," then saw nothing except the skybox, the car lights, and the HUD. A true feeling of being in the middle of nowhere

That fog in the first one always creeped me out.

Yeah there is a "vampire," ayy lmaos, ghosts, time travelers, a ghost train, a fair amount of stuff really.

What freaked me out about this room was why was it here in the first place? There are no places in the game where you can walk into that gives you a special camera shot of the place. I always thought there was something here you had to do except there wasn't it's just there.

Not disagreeing at all. Dead space barely tried to be spooky and just throws in a music sting and a monster in hope you'll be tense the rest of the game.

I don't remember the name or characters, but I remember it involving wading through water and you couldn't jump with only the water splashes and a quiet drumming.
If I remember you go to the next level without encountering any enemies.

All I remember about that was it randomly appearing in a game once and I was unable to delete it.

What the fuck, this sounds familiar as fuck but I can't remember what it's from. It's giving me an eerie feeling.

I think some horror games, or horror segments in other games, overdo it with sound. It's creepier when there's little to no music or noise, and when something spooky pops up, I think it's more effective for the game to stay quiet rather than blare an annoying scare chord. That makes you jump, but it doesn't cause the type of fear that really sticks with you.

This game scared the shit out of me as a kid. The only thing that kept me comfortable was the presence of other characters/creatures from the show. At one point, the whole town goes empty with this music playing.

I specifically went into the tunnels searching for Ratman when I heard about him. I became more and more paranoid the deeper into the tunnel I traversed until I finally cracked and sprinted back up to the surface. I don't know what it is but those tunnels are fucked.

Yeah it's one of my favorite PS1 games, but for some reason the world just creeped me out. Like the resort level? It was like there was this whole resort but it was just abandoned, save the weird little blobs of enemies.

My favorite level was probably the house up in space, but that one also made me feel uncomfortable.

There's one I found recently, in Blood.
One of the earliest levels features a railroad coming from a tunnel, and while it's not required to ever go there you can actually walk very deep into the tunnel, a good couple minutes of walking in pure darkness. Shit's fucking unsettling. If you keep walking, eventually the train shows up and runs you over.

It might not be explicit horror all the time, but if horror is fear of the unknown, then Killer7 exploits what we will never know about how the world really works.

The game got delayed multiple times, even after being split into two parts. And now they got some investors to pay them and that keeps them from releasing it this year, somehow.
It's never coming out.

That game was fucking amazing. Only downside is you need a fucking guide to get the true ending.

I get this feeling when playing old TF2 maps from FPSBanana. Not shit like Mario Kart or Ctf_Vikings, but maps like Warpath or Redfort, even some achievement maps like the Golden Machine Gun maps. Maps that no one has played in years.
It's just such a strange feeling. It's like visiting a ghost town. And you know that you might be the last person ever to play on those maps.

Was going to post a screen of Redfort but my data is too slow.

A. Wouldn't that still be inside the moon?
B. I could be wrong, but isn't that area literally referred to as "Inside the moon" in-game?

Something about the improved graphics and lighting of the levels really did take it to the next level.

Oh yeah considering every other level before that had been wide open and you could jump and see a long distance

Is Bully a good game, like lots of content, decent length, etc? I know there's a lot in terms of outfits.

Deadwind Pass from WoW. There's just fucking nothing of value in the zone besides Karazhan, it's so eerie you just want to get the fuck out of there,

Funnily enough, I found Lake Placcid to be the most creepy of every Gex level. Even today it creeps me out. Scream TV is meant to be spooky and it works, but unintentionally creepy gives me the chills more. There was just something off about that particular hub world.

On my first playthrough of 4, I didn't realize after encountering the first regenerators on the way to the freezer that they could be killed. I thought you had to do it with the scope only. So I ran past one which latched on and scared the fuck out of me. Then when the goal of the freezer room was to free another in a tiny space, I legit turned the game off for 12 hours.

Same, the whole Castle of Mario 64 creeped me the hell out.

I think it's a combination of factors. It's early 3D so everything is a bit uncanny, the music is a mix of reverent and uplifting but it contrasts with the empty castle. Bowser is supposed to have taken it over, but there's no sign of anyone. The basement has a hellish painting, the outside courtyard has ghosts and laughing, the infinite stairs etc.

What's that?

dead quiet in there. and then you walk up the stairs and hear cj's loud nigga nosebreathing to signal the shadows give him stealth mode

Reminder
I do like how the games play with your expectations and don't put the scariest enemies where'd you expect them. Playing COC and dealing with poltergeist for the first time in Dark Valley in the underground labs really surprises you.

I remember pre eoc, around early 2010, there were videos on YouTube about the frozen door in the God wars in dungeon near saradomins room I think. People used that one item that you could use to see shit you couldn’t usually see and it showed some really eerie shit. Towards the end of 2010, they said that it would be a new boss and you could hear voices when you went near it and then early 2011, nex boss released. Good times.
