There are those of us who want a game that brings us to the verge of pissing ourselves in terror. Personally, I’m trying to build a to-play list, and I’m guessing other people probably want to play some decent horror games as well, so I figure some sort of group recommendation thing may be in order. I’m personally playing through system shock 2, outlast, and silent hill 2 right now. I have more on my list, but anyone have anything they think I should get to next?

OP, you picked two of the best horror games out there (SS2 and SH2). You’ve gotta play Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of The Earth. Such a great game, creepy, good story and cthulhu? If you’ve read Lovecraft’s stuff it’ll be a treat aswell.

Unless you’ve played through the Amnesia games then you should. If you have then you should play through the Penumbra games, same developer, they play out similarly and are arguably just as good or even better, though I personally prefer Amnesia.

The water monster was overhyped for sure, I found it terrorizing but far from the most horrifying part of the game.

Also another game that is decent is Cry of Fear, it has that depressing 90′s grey urban atmosphere with some cool monsters and a freaky soundtrack.

“Among The Sleep” was just released on Thursday or Friday I think. I haven’t played it yet but it looked pretty good. Also I can’t wait for “The Evil Within” all the other games I would recommend have been mentioned other than the Ocean House Hotel mission in “Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines” even though the majority of the game isn’t scary.
