Sorry, not fluent enough to understand your joke.
Is it somehow out of the ordinary to have friends with weed where you live?

Probably PT or Alien Isolation.
But also that shark attack demo thing in Playstation VR worlds made me lose my absolute shit. I severely underestimated how effective VR stuff could be.

-Silent Hill 2 for the atmosphere.
-Soma because of the brief moment a mutated angler fish chases you in the oceanic trench.
-The Facehuggers in AvP1999 terrified me as a child. Everytime I heard the squishing noise they make I would freeze.
-The Venom level in Lego Marvel Superheroes

Games or movies don’t really scare me, but for some reason, P.T. was quite tense at some parts. Maybe it was the sound design or not knowing what to expect. Getting grabbed from behind in the dark with surround sound blasting was an unforgettable experience.
Honorable mention: Arcade version of Splatterhouse. Played it in the arcade and there was just something creepy about it back in the day and me being a kid probably contributed to the creepiness as well.

So, PT is winning.
And I have no idea what it is. Surely not Planescape Torment?

It's that P.T. demo from a few years ago by Kojima.
For some reason, people kept calling it Silent Hill.

Enemy Zero on the Saturn. Probably partially a function of the age I was when I played it, but I've never been quite that scared again.

RE7 not for the game itself, just by way of it being in VR and how the sense of presence ups the ante.
In terms of atmosphere it'd be the OG Resident Evil or Silent Hill Games.
But for sheer uneasiness, P.T.
Saying that, I don't really play a lot of scary stuff.

Not really a demo though. It's a stand alone playable teaser with little in common with the actual, cancelled, game.

I was being sarcastic.
Konami yeeting his ass from the company and canning the title was a good thing.

Silent Hill 2 creeped me out more than anything else did, especially at the time. I played it not long after it launched and I was like... 13/14 at the time? Stuck with me forever. The content was a lot heavier than I was expecting with a video game, especially at that time.
Resident Evil 7 had some moments where I could feel myself holding back and not wanting to move forward, even if it was just for a bit.
Alien Isolation had that same feeling of tension, but throughout the entire experience. Then somehow at the end, they were able to exasperate it to a degree that I wasn't expecting whatsoever.
Jump scares are stupid and cheap, I wouldn't classify those as "scary", at least not the scary I'm interested in.

I saw the poll and was thinking "This game isn't THAT obscure." Glad to see it was the first mentioned. And absolutely.

Terrifying stuff. Enemies were invisible and you had to kill them using a sound detector. Nerve-wracking.Enemy Zero on the Saturn. Probably partially a function of the age I was when I played it, but I've never been quite that scared again.

Where's DOOM 3 ? lol
I love Alien Isolation, and PT was tense, but it is Outlast.
The game is very flawed, but I shat bricks while playing. Cheap jumpscares, but effective. Those damn chases made my heart race
And its kinda long. When I finished the game, I felt relieved.
Felt the same with A: Isolation, but it was too long and flamethrower made the game less scary.

Yet sadly judging by the poll you see that 3rd person horror with unique gameplay and subtle atmosphere are losing ground by first person jump scare fests designed to appeal to Twitch streamers.

Funny thing : (from wiki) Enemy Zero began life on Sony's PlayStation. Its unveiling at the 1996 PlayStation Expo in Tokyo was described by journalists as the highlight of the show.[8] Irritated by Sony's failure to meet even a third of preorders for the PlayStation version of D (and to a lesser extent, their policy that all marketing for third party games had to be approved by them[4]), at a press conference during the expo Kenji Eno made a shocking move. Eno showed a preview of Enemy Zero. At the end of the clip the PlayStation logo appeared, but slowly transitioned into the Sega Saturn logo, indicating that the game would now be a Saturn exclusive.
SONY must have been pretty SCARED by the game but not for the same reasons!
Eno was such a boss

Yes, let’s leave out the runaway winner of the poll. Genius.

Well.. the bulk of posters here don't even understand that scary as a concept is subjective.. So yeah. Who fucking cares who "wins" It's a question for this community that would ideally inspire folks to talk about their respective inner fears manifesting in games so therefore a discussion could take place. Exploring this broad concept and reading about experiences that yourself wouldn't think about having, ect Is fascinating in the least. Instead it's developed into a symbolic dick size contest. Such a shame. But to be expected.
Yup outlast . Relieved finish it . Must play 2

Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword.
I am still haunted by its grotesque art style and suffer PTSD from Waggle. Gives me the creeps just thinking about it.
Though not as scary as Wind Waker, I was so afraid that the artstyle would infect me, that I dared not play it. Like a nightmare about the T-virus coming true.
