I feel like I’ve played a good amount of horror titles, and I find I don’t really get scared much anymore.
What are some titles that scared you the most? I would love to hear your recommendations!

How has nobody mentioned Condemned yet? That game is unnerving from the very first minute you start playing.
Condemned 1&2 are excellent. I would love if they made a game like that again
Recently, some games that shouldn’t have freaked me out, but did, were parts of Outer Wilds and Subnautica. Subnautica, in particular, got me with a very good jump scare that I think made me jump harder than any horror game has in the past decade lol.
I find games that induce dread really help with being scared.
You should play voices of the void then. Game is chock full of random spooks with lots of very quiet and relaxing downtime, so they hit pretty hard when they happen.
The first fear game really scared me when I was younger. I was 16 maybe and that’s how I found out I don’t like ghosts haha.
Playing in ym room at night alone in the dark. Ghosts coming out that I can’t hurt haha
Fuck that was bad
Darkwood. Incredible 2d survival horror game.
I’m not a horror game enjoyers so my scariest games are Subnautica and Dredge both of which were already mentioned. But after reading some of your responses I’ll recommend you Hellblade Senuas Sacrifice. It’s not a horror game but it’s an incredible intense experience. Headphones are a must tho.
Hellblade had some of the best audio design I’ve heard in a game. I’m curious what games will take inspiration from it in the future
I’ve really liked my time with Signalis. It does some neat stuff with it switching between the top down sections and first person puzzles/segments.
The world building and nods to other horror games was a lot of fun! I hope they make more horror titles in the future

The Cradle level in Thief 3 will forever and always be the scariest experience I’ve ever had in any video game, including horror games. It elevated an otherwise mediocre game to be a worthy entry besides the first two games.

I’ve never gotten a chance to play the thief games. They look right up my alley, though!

They’re great. Just avoid the reboot. It’s developers didn’t even play the old ones.
