I've really liked my time with Signalis. It does some neat stuff with it switching between the top down sections and first person puzzles/segments.

The world building and nods to other horror games was a lot of fun! I hope they make more horror titles in the future
I'm not a horror game enjoyers so my scariest games are Subnautica and Dredge both of which were already mentioned. But after reading some of your responses I'll recommend you Hellblade Senuas Sacrifice. It's not a horror game but it's an incredible intense experience. Headphones are a must tho.
Hellblade had some of the best audio design I've heard in a game. I'm curious what games will take inspiration from it in the future
The first fear game really scared me when I was younger. I was 16 maybe and that's how I found out I don't like ghosts haha.
Playing in ym room at night alone in the dark. Ghosts coming out that I can't hurt haha
Fuck that was bad
Darkwood. Incredible 2d survival horror game.
Metro 2033 and Half-Life 2 lol, I cannot play horror games. I quit Metro, couldn't help myself.
But at least I completed all HL games apart from Alyx. With all achievements on base HL2 and EP2.
Ravenholm was manageable if I play without sound 🤣 But there was a long tunnel section in EP1 that was very uncomfortable and dark, felt longer than Ravenholm.
It's gotta be Penumbra: The Black Plague and Amnesia: The Dark Descent back when I played them 12 years ago. Not many games have created the same amount of tension for me while playing.
Probably one of the VR ones.
Phasmophobia is tense and mostly because you can die and get no points, but there's plenty of VRChat horror worlds as well. The quality varies wildly though, and you often face the worst VR horror of all: awful frame rates.
Did anyone play the Blair witch game? I didn't find it too scary, but the woods in that game are phenomenal. I thought they did a great job with making it feel like you were actually in a forest.
Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice had such a vivid portrayal of auditory and visual hallucinations and the psychological aspects thereof, as well as being rooted in genuinely spooky themes. Playing it in the dark with headphones was a truly psychologically scary experience and it didn't really rely on jumpscares for the scary factor. ( which to me is a huge plus )
