Amnesia, of course. Amnesia is the scariest game in the whole world. Anyone who disagrees, GTFO i'm kidding

Well, if it is between Amnesia and Call of Cthulhu, I will vote for Amnesia, since I don’t like the latter one at all.
However, Left 4 Dead is my favorite one when it comes to scary games; it is an awesome zombie game and the best so far, that I have ever played.
How can one find left for dead scary?

I did get scared and plenty nervous in Amnesia 1.Unfortunately H.P. Lovecraft is a cult phenomenon (even though he is considered one of the finest American writers ever) and so there are never going to be big budget companies throwing their money at a Lovecraftian game pitch. Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth is about as close as you get though it's not modeled after any story in particular.
What would be good and scary to play is one with a direct Lovecraft universe locations/people/monsters.
@TheRockWorm: Why don't you just play it? You've made a lot of threads and posts on here asking about how true it is and what not. Why don't you just decide for yourself?

It had plenty of resources and made it so you never really felt "in danger" when enemies appeared; they were far too easy to kill and could rarely ever hit you as long as you weren't standing still for 5+ seonds.Not true. Getting shot basically means delayed death because either you start limping uselessly, have trouble aiming or have hopelessly blurred vision. Yeah, you can sustain a few hits and if you're quick you can kill everyone and heal, but combat is incredibly tense. Scary, no, but quite thrilling. I personally think it has a fairly consistent sense of dread throughout but it would have been much more effective with more limited combat (like only the knife).
DCOTE is awesome for it's truthfulness to lovecrafts lore. The first half of the game is very much based on The Shadow Over Innsmouth, except the novel ends
