The most scariest enemy

[Adiane]

As long as they're not chasing me I think the Grunts are kind of cute, so they're out. The Shadow can be frightening but is more of a nuisance more often than not. The Brute in the Sewer scared the SHIT out of me but for some reason I wasn't too bothered by the ones in the latter sections of the game, although their weird howling/scraping noises still freaked me out.

It was the water lurker that scared me the most, by FAR. Not being able to see it made me constantly worry that it was closer than I thought, and hearing it run after me through the water made me shake and sweat as if I were actually in real danger of being harmed. Being chased is one of my biggest fears both in games and real life, and everything else about that intial encounter with the lurker only added to the terror. Then when I got to the Cistern and Sewer... dear god. Constant, oppressive paranoia over whether or not that thing was going to suddenly start chasing me again. Just when I let my guard down and felt safe it DID come after me in the Cistern, and in my panicked state I ran right into it and got killed. I had to take a break from playing after that.
