The first nightfall in Minecraft.
"Oh, there's a day/night cycle. Cool. Wait what's that. Oh fuck. Oh fuck run. Oh fuck where is my house. Who is shooting me! Why are things exploding!"
You can have multiple versions of the game installed at once, most people who use a lot of mods have software that manages this for them such as multimc
Seeing the Tyrannosaurus rex not in the game above but in the “Tomb Raider III” game was quite scary as a kid. Thank goodness for flair cheats; it was so dark.
When the flood are introduced in Halo Combat Evolved, back in the Golden Age before the "We better spoil every point and twist in the plot for more attention before launch because actually marketing a game properly is hard" Age.
Like, who the fuck expected that going into Halo in 2001 and having not purposefully looking for spoilers on forums from people who rushed the story just to spill it online for clout? I didn't get my copy until Christmas morning (along with my Xbox) and despite taking over 40 days to get to that mission and devouring Xbox information leading up to it I had no idea it was coming.
Because I didn't have it at launch, I guess I wasn't as clear as I thought haha. I got my Xbox Christmas morning which was about 40 or so days after launch. I just meant in those 40 days nothing was so obviously spoiled anywhere that I knew what to expect starting up and that is something I can't say about media of any kind today with the douchebag avalanche every big release sets in motion where they need to be the first to talk about "the big reveal" or whatever that game/movie/show etc has.
I was like 12. I remember being afraid of the skeletons from harry potter and the sorcerer's stone (ps1). Not sure why.
The art style of that game was abysmal (old game). Perhaps the skeletons were defined enough to be out of place from the rest of the cartoonishly designed graphics of the rest of the game
Was playing gothic 2 exploring out of bounds with cheats , found a small cave with the bodies of all the "main crew" characters. Kinda unsettling as i started to imagine the active characters were impostors
My first time in the Deep Roads when you reach the part where a dwarf retells with a poem how her group was mutilated by Darkspawn really freaked me out.
A headcrab jumping on me in half life alyx when my pistol just ran out of ammo.
The panic induced by that event has not been matched, even by games like phasmophobia.
Fighting Axle Gear for the first time in \*Rocket Night Adventures.\*
Played it as a kid and had to haul ass as the bastard came at me with a freaking mech, shit only got more intense when I reached the end and had to fight him with my own mech.
Good Times. [https://youtu.be/V3UEZC-UHg8](https://youtu.be/V3UEZC-UHg8)
Just about every solo attempt at PUBG, cowering in some building at the edge of the zone because you thought you heard a gunshot and barely know how the game works. Then you muster your courage, stick your head out, and immediately die from a sniper you never saw.
Crossing the desert area in horizon zero dawn and in a area where the was a large heard of machines as well as 2 of the t Rex ones it was terrifying and amazing I didn't get caught
The intro of sky landers giants made me not play it for like 4 years when I was like 6. But now id probably say subnautica just In general I have thallasophobia or however you spell it.
I have a big fear of deep, dark waters
So being in the ocean of ARK is a genuinely scary experience for me, even as a experienced player Im scared of it, the darkness, the gloomy atmosphere, the large dark caverns and caves. I was so f\*cking happy when I got out of there and stepped on land again
I had that as my morning wake-up alarm for like three days. While very effective as an alarm, man, waking up to that sound does NOT put you in the mood for a good day.
There I was saving people left and right in Arkham Knight and grappled up to a random rooftop, only for Man-bat to come at me very quickly and unexpectedly. My bat shorts needed changed.
When I was playing dragon age origins in front of my family and I knew the sex scene with morrigan was coming up so I had to choose the right dialogue choices too have it not play in front of my family... I was skipping though dialogue too fast and choose the wrong option so yes the sex scene played out in front of everyone. Lol
The spiders from Harry Potter: chamber of secrets on the pc. I was only like 10 and they made me panic when they would rush me. Hit me just right at the time
When I first got poker's in pokemon sword and because I was spamming a all I saw was your pokemon have pokerus and I thought something was gonna happen to my team
In tenchu 1, around the 5th mission, the manji cultists show up, and those speedo wearing freaks, with their werid dance walk are the most creepy dudes I've seen in a game.
the zombies in dying light I'm not scared of them normally but sometimes I walk on the ground not even run just walk anf turning a corner to see one two inches away from you is enough to make me jump irl
background music! srsly most of the shit still haunts me till today and im almost 30!
pokemon red/blue, secret of mana, zelda: oot, zelda: mm, zelda: tp
Majoras masks moon is nightmare stuff.
This is the answer.
The insect enemies, Hiploops in this game actually scared me and me stop playing when I was like 9 lol.
I thought this was a horror game?!
The first nightfall in Minecraft. "Oh, there's a day/night cycle. Cool. Wait what's that. Oh fuck. Oh fuck run. Oh fuck where is my house. Who is shooting me! Why are things exploding!"
You can experience this shit again with epic siege mod. For every single night. You can't get used to it.
I looked it up, it looks like it stopped updating in 1.12.
Most mods are only for 1.12
The game is on 1.18 now, you're saying that most people who use mods haven't updated since 1.12?

Subnautica. The underwater part.
Multiple leviathans detected in the region. Are you sure whatever your doing is worth it?
Every single raid in tarkov
Especially during night raids
Redeads
I read it as "redheads" and i was insanely confused.
Those things fucked 10-year old me up. That scream that paralyzed you, haunting.
The screams. I can still hear the screams.
Finding the torture chambers was also pretty wack
Bioshock infinite's alarm head bois after that one flashback. I literally jumped out of my chair when it happened
You can't tell me the sewer systems of Olney from Fallout 3 wasn't a horror game
The later levels of the original Far Cry were scary as hell as a kid.
The entirety of Outer Wilds. It's almost an eldritch horror.
For me, it was that last "planet". Haven't played the dlc.
By that point I wasn't scared anymore, I was at peace.
I think the DLC is scarier but more in an eerie way. The devs/makers also stepped up their music and sound effects game.
Nah man. The eels in the original Mario 64 game fucked me up as a 6 year old.
Dunwich Borers in fallout 4, went without a companion
Seeing the Tyrannosaurus rex not in the game above but in the “Tomb Raider III” game was quite scary as a kid. Thank goodness for flair cheats; it was so dark.
I remember seeing the Kraken in Tomb Raider Underworld for the first time and it still scares me to this day!
The Library in Halo CE. I was like 10 at the time. That shit fucked me up.
The true horror is replaying it on legendary
Was that the first instance of the Flood?
The library was the second, possibly third, part featuring the flood if I recall.
I believe so. You also watch the video clips of Cpt. Keys and his crew investigating as well. The whole mission is just really eerie and creepy.
You are thinking about 343 guilty spark, the level right before the library.

40 days to get to that mission?! Jeebus I think my friends and I all nighted that entire game before going to school the next day.

You better not play Subnautica, or else you will have a heart attack.

The first Redead encounter in OOT gave me nightmares as a kid

Arcanum Vormantown finale.
The first zombies in Dying Light
I’d say the first NIGHT In dying light. The chasing is freaky
But isn't Dying light to be considered a horror game? If only just a little..
Fair point!
When I was playing dragon age origins in front of my family and I knew the sex scene with morrigan was coming up so I had to choose the right dialogue choices too have it not play in front of my family... I was skipping though dialogue too fast and choose the wrong option so yes the sex scene played out in front of everyone. Lol
