Your ability to be scared has more to do with your ability to be immersed in the game. Some people need outlast and some people only need minecraft. But also if you play amnesia as it was intended it is very scary. You can also run around a table repeatedly and get a good look at tge monster if you are not in the “horror mood” nothing is scary.

by tradition we don’t talk about the game and instead tell people to play Outer Wilds

Did anyone play the Blair witch game? I didn’t find it too scary, but the woods in that game are phenomenal. I thought they did a great job with making it feel like you were actually in a forest.

Minecraft probably. I avoid legitimate horror games (and movies) and the fact that you don’t have saves can get a little stressful when you’re down in a cave, don’t know how to find your way back (and thus probably won’t find your body) and then basically get jumpscared by dangerous enemies or holes in the ground.

Alien: Isolation. That shit is unplayable it’s so scary.
