One time I went to a friend's Halloween party and he was playing Clock Tower (the janky-ass-hell PS1 version with the point and clickies) and it was about the scariest fucking game I had ever seen in my life
There's a pattern to the horror games I like. RE: zombies and monsters, shotguns TEW: zombies and monsters, shotguns/esoteric magical brain crossbow SH: demons, shotguns
I'm kind of amazed I made it through TEW? It is also more gross than scary but some of the moment to moment gameplay is easy to freak yourself out with
lmfao if you ever watch Yourmoviesucks on Youtube, he has a series called "Childhood Trauma" and it's basically just my life in video series form, all the childrens' entertainment that scared the shit out of him as a child
(Note, it was always dumb esoteric fantasy imagination shit that scared me. Not spiders, snakes, insects, or anything else. Shit like music from certain video games or literal zombies.)
