Least Scary "Scary" Game in History?

**Spooder Wekd** · 12-18-2010, 06:48 PM

I agree, the game is not very scary at the beginning. I, being a Penumbra vet, am not scared easily. However, I knew it would get great because I trust Frictional.

Advice to the OP would be to pick up Penumbra and play Overture for 30 minutes. It gets scary very quickly and there are shit tons of enemies. On hard you die in one or two hits and you need to be VERY careful. Once you've played that you will know what you're in for in Amnesia, though it never gets as scary as Penumbra.

note: Amnesia is an overall better game, Penumbra is just scarier...

edit: haha you were too scared to play the game! Tongue

I get it now. You're trying to cover it up. You could not bring yourself to go by the "stressful creature" again so you quit. also, the save and quit mechanic puts you exactly where you were before, i guess you thought you were past it but werent...ill get a warm bottle of milk for ya and make it all better

I tell myself to be open to other people's opinions on things, especially if they disagree with my own opinions, but considering he/she's insulting the game based on things that are atmosphere builders rather than the actual horror part, it's a troll.

Try playing it again WITHOUT anyone in the room ...

and KILL THE LIGHTS and put headphones on.

Why? Since this is a discussion forum, there is, of course, also room for negative opinions on the game.

Personally, I would be interested to hear what other games you actually did find scary.

Probably Resident Evil 5 and Hello Kitty Online.

Now, Now, you can't tell me Hello Kitty Online doesn't leave you with nightmares weeks after playing it...

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, I myself found Amnesia very enjoyable. Out of the 62 games currently installed, I keep going back to Amnesia. I've already started a new game and keep replaying custom stories again and again. I found Penumbra to be enjoyable, but Amnesia really got to me in a way that no other game had done to me before.

this game isnt BOOGA BOOGA BOOGA scary

its more the implication of fear, and the environment that supposed to keep you unnerved. and then when the tiniest thing happens you freak out, like i did

I like how the OP didn't even care to follow up. Classy troll.

Man, I am playing Amnesia, and it scares me so bad I want to turn it off and turn on my lights....(it's great!) - is Penumbra truly scarier?
