It would be creepier if it was in a non-horror video game. But the main question is, what is something in a video game that just makes you uneasy or just plain out scared? Im not sure what mine is, but if I think of it, I'll edit it in later.
ALSO: If you have video, picture, or story, or even the game link, please post that too.
From the top of my head, some of the new Croft games death scenes. Maybe it's because I get grossed easily. And because when she looks like she's in pain I feel in pain.
Ecspecially in that moment when you are storming Nova Prospect (Half Life 2) and you go into a room, hear a muffled moan, look to your left and see one of these
also, basicly any part in penumbra: the black plague or Penumbra: overture. used to play this when I was 14, just remembered playing this part. I was startled pretty badly.
this, fucking, moon. as a kid I was scared of this shit.
I don't get scared by horror movies or horror games, but this...
It still didn't scare me as much as those damn trials in SS, especially that last one, holy shit. Now that I think about it, that's the only time I had to put a game down about an hour before playing again.
Well since I am a lot older since I was a kid, I don't find scary games scary.. just funny xDDD well.. one game that scared me then I was little was.. Rayman 3 hoodlum havoc at the bloody end.. with those.. things.. whatever they were called.. xDD that level scared the shi- out of me.. and another one must be Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask.. there isn't really that much I can remember.. Ahh yeah, and that.. freaking song from Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow Lavender Town.. that song gave me headaches.. I still have those games... hidden..
most recent for me the Sunken Ship in Okami was really screepy (spooky creepy). I couldnt find any good footage but there's creepy dolls that laugh in a creepy way, a weird moss hand that comes up to kill you, which also has a creepy face you can kill later by running over it with spikes (Did I mention it looks like a human face?), the worst is the creepy ghost you can't avoid. It goes straight up to the screen and it looks like that girl from the ring, but you can see the face. Oh, and it's a spider. And spiders are scary. Plus, human skulls everywhere. Yea, it's spook.
for others... I guess the Rattmann in portal kinda creeps me out. Not in a scary way... but in another.
Oh, and the radios in portal.
At the end, when GLaDOS sends you/Chell out, there's either Rattmann in the back, or a frankenturret...That bit gives me the creeps... o.o
wait? little big planet 2? I don't recall anything remotely scary.. well maybe the fact that if you die just once you lose your ace is pretty scary.
I agree, if you lose your ace it's pretty scary, but I mean some of the levels people make. Like Annabelle's Lullaby, or this other one, can't remember the name of the level, but it's a series, and one of the levels in the series has a girl being hanged. That bit wasn't scary, but the other bits were. The freaking levels some people make just scare the crap outta me...
Well, I played LeafGreen, and Lavender town... well, didn't really scare me at the time.
Until I read about Lavender Syndrome. Now in HeartGold, I don't even want to go there...
And in Pokemon Platinum Version. The Old Chateau in Eterna Forest was freaking scary. It had a demented television. In my opinion, the Rotom I got out of it wasn't even worth it.
Then there's Majora's Mask, which I've never been able to play, but I still know a lot about it. Dat moon...
And, of course, Portal 2. It wasn't really scary, just really creepy. Doug Rattmann...
Just the pictures he would leave always made me shudder, especially that one room that was full of coffee mugs. It was almost disturbing.
And then the Re-Dead in Ocarina of Time. What are those things' problem?
old chateau actually scared me when I first played it. Ugh, the painting that follows you... the ghosts... ominous feelings... UGH. It actually did give me nightmares once.
Ugh, if I had seen that, I DEFINITELY wouldn't have been able to sleep. But they had a bunch of creepy distorted noises as the Chateau theme. I don't blame Gardenia at all for being afraid of that place. I'd much rather trade it for a Ditto in Black and White.
There was just this atmosphere, and the way everything was put together... just ugh. Again, not worth the Rotom I got out of it.

there were distorted noises? Also, the antidote in the trash can. it didnt mean anything to me at the time but now i get it and its just way more creepy. I think it was just me, but those statues in the first room of the house always made me creeped out. it's like, what're they hiding?
oh, and the painting that followed you was a painting of some black tree with a purple background and red eyes. When you move around it its eyes follow you ;_; damn thing was the bane of my existence. Oh, and I didn't even get the Rotom.
I was eight when I went to the chateau, too. At first, I didn't notice the little things, but the more I thought about them, the more I began despising the place. Chances are you won't get me to go there now that I've had about 5 years to think about the creepier aspects of that part.
And of course not, Haxor. But I just hate paranormal stuff... it's like a shadow in my mind. Like Slenderman, Bloody Mary, all that stuff. And then Nintendo had to go and make Lavender Town, then I had to learn about Lavender Syndrome because internet.
And that place... sure, in Pokemon Ranger Guardian signs, plates flew at you, but it wasn't creepy. All through the Chateau, you just feel like somebody is watching you. And then there's my huge fear of the dark to add to that. I just hate anything I can lose sleep over.
Sure, the Pokemon Series is rated E for everyone, but there are some creepy aspects. Oh, here's another creepy thing from Pokemon to add to this thread...
I went and found the Old Chateau theme. It isn't a bunch of noises, but it is pretty dang scary when coupled with the atmosphere of the place.
As well as that, you can occasionally see two ghosts, a little girl and a butler. The girl is seen in a room when you enter, walking through a wall, and the butler can be seen in the dining room. Not only does he go through a wall, he doesn't have a walking animation, suggesting that he floats. During both encounters, the player is incapable of moving, and therefore that ghosts are impossible to interact with.
And now for another pokedex entry. Today, it's Parasect!
RedBlue A host-parasite pair in which the parasite mushroom has taken over the host bug. Prefers damp places.
Yellow The bug host is drained of energy by the mushrooms on its back. They appear to do all the thinking.
Stadium The bug host is controlled by the mushrooms that scatter poisonous spores. The spores are sometimes used as medicine in China.
Generation II
Gold It stays mostly in dark, damp places, the preference not of the bug, but of the big mushrooms on its back.
Silver The larger the mushroom on its back grows, the stronger the mushroom spores it scatters.
Crystal When nothing's left to extract from the bug, the mushrooms on its back leave spores on the bug's egg.
So basically, Parasect is nothing but a host being drained of energy by the mushroom on its back. Not only that, but that mushroom does all the thinking. The entry from Crystal version also suggests that the mushroom essentially drains all the energy from the pokemon until it dies.
The Flood on Halo 3 was creepiest, the "doors" that opened up when you approached... they were too suggestive of another nature.
Oh god please don't remind me of the halo 3 flood... They were so freaky and the levels were hard to beat. My friend even had to play co-op with me to beat it.

This. Just this http://www.newground...tal/view/579165 Or, more specifically, the ending to this. The game, that shall from here on be referred to as this, has a grimdark ending that everyone knows about. And I decided to try it out at 2am... Here's how far I got before turning it off.
that looks so funny now if i was younger i would probally piss myself cause im weakat heart with horror and creepy stuff like that but now i laugh AAAHAHAHAHAHA
I hate to say it, but it was definitely the time when I accidentally gained access to the admin break room on the server.
Just when I thought r34 couldn't get any worse...
could someone explain wat r34 is (rule 34) im not sure about weather or not to google it my friend said just dont and i dont know y

I've never seen or heard about that game before. Unless it's the Luna game, then yes, I have heard of it. Holy shit, that Applebloom scared the crap outta me when I watched someone play through it.

it is a creepy game... i played luna game 1. i got the pinkie pie screamer
lol but imscared is probetly the creepiest 1. it creates files, text files and that face follows you everywhere heres the contents the text file "Attention" has:
There is a way to turn an entity into data.
They have a life of their own, and it is difficult to distinguish them from normal computer files.
In our actions of everyday, while we sit at the computer, this byte entity observes us, and studies our every move and fear.
The game is simple: following the arrows is the key, if you get caught you lose.

For instance; my brother said that one time he walked into a room, and a headcrab suddenly fell ontop of him. I think it was dead though. Jump-scare moments like that just scare the hell out of me.

I don't blame you
Edit:
I also for got to mention the damn skeletons in Minecraft always make me jump because the get me from behind...
I think the Endermen are scarier; 1. The noise they make (if you have your sound on Minecraft on). 2. They're based off Slenderman. 3. When you see it...

'I also forgot to mention the damn skeletons in Minecraft always make me jump because they get me from behind...' THAT WHAT SHE SAID! But back to serious stuff...
The video itself is on the jumpscares these enemies cause, but damn their masks are freaky. I mean, look at this shit.
Also spoilers for the first Bioshock game, but the whole deconstruction of the "Mission control" type game gave me a few chills. It was just really cleverly done.
I have Bioshock 2, and it has its moments. Not really that many "jump scares" in it though, mainly, "Oh crap I just got caught by security and now I have a shit ton of splicers and robots after me. Ahhh." But Bioshock isnt supposed to be horror, is it? I didnt really know there was jump scares in either of them. You learn something new every day.
Bioshock is technically a first person shooter with horror elements, sort of like Half-Life. But it does tend to dip in survival horror at some points.
The first two Bioshocks have like, one jumpscare each. It mainly draws horror from the gross/creepiness/uncanny feeling of the setting, the horrible backstory taken from the audiodiaries, and the general body horror of your enemies.
the Medical Pavilion from the first Bioshock is a good example of when Bioshock jumps in to the survival horror pot. And it's the first level.
