I'm blacklisted, woot
And you should play Doom 3. Isn't that scary, but is creepy
Comment has been collapsed.
Poor ratio, sorry. Hmm, I might give it a go but is it better to play them in order or can I jump to the third?
Comment has been collapsed.
The early doom games don't have much of a story anyway, and with the shift in tone Doom 3 might well be considered a game from an entirely separate series. So yea, no problem playing Doom 3 first.

It is not my go to genre so I don't have any recommendations, but here is your chicken bump.

Silent Hill 2, should be your first and last horror game, dosent get any better than that.

I have the PS3 remastered version, will that do? I've heard that it was done poorly but idk.
Comment has been collapsed.
im afraid no, they changed the graphics without care the integrity, and chaged the voice actors with ones that ruin the tone.
Silent Hill 2: Directors Cut was launched on the PC and Xbox aswell, so it is not that hard to find. ;) oh look jack sparrow :v

I don't play much horror, but I'd prefer atmospheric & psychological horror to jumpscare horror.
I've heard Kholat is really good horror adventure. Or if you want some FPS experience, maybe you can try Metro franchise?
Comment has been collapsed.
I've heard of Kholat and I'm keeping my eye on it. Metro is a good suggestion but would you recommend the original or the redux versions? (I have both versions of both games).
Comment has been collapsed.
I'd recommend Redux versions. I haven't played both of them (crap computer) but according to what I've heard
Metro 2033 Redux: Improve performance (the original one was terribly optimized) and graphic, with some gameplay elements borrowed from Last Light although some say these changes make the game somewhat easier.
Metro Last Light: Slightly improved, since the original version is more optimized than 2033. Some bugs are still there and haven't been fixed.
Btw have you tried Stalker franchise? :D

DreadOut. It teaches you practical things, like how to survive a poltergeist infestation or zombie apocalypse with just a cell phone. All those other games ... like an RPG or sniper rifle is just going to be lying around in real life. Pffft.

You I was actually going to buy that game but then I saw the Tom Clancy games on the flash sale and that was enough reason for me to go back to being a chicken :P.

Bad rats the revenge?? xD
Fatal frame?
Sorry but not a steam game
And some of jrpg horror game (I think it's from rpg maker)
Like Ib, The croocked man, Witch's house(I don't like the ending), Mad father
For non rpg maker, it's corpse party I guess?
If it's a normal one and on steam
Spooky house of jumpscares, I recommend it very xD

I'd recommend Resident Evil 4 or Dead Space. Both games have a good balance between survival horror and action. There are plenty of tense moments that I still dread going through even though I know what to expect. But monsters are a lot less scary when you are carrying the arsenal of a small army.

No one mentioned Alan Wake? It has a great story and it's really creepy.
Comment has been collapsed.
While not a pure horror game, check it System Shock 2 for a light introduction (it has some horror vibes, and is on top of that one of the best games of all time).

Drink vodka before and during the game/movie. Which one? Any, question here how much vodka you should drink

If you want a start.. start with Max Payne & half life 2. both of these games you probably own. HL2 have some creepy stuff going on - Ravenholm level & MPs Nightmare & Jack Lupino levels.

I got scared very easily so I will try Dead Space... maybe?
Comment has been collapsed.
Horror games for the uninitiated, eh?
- Alan Wake - Spooky darkness with kinda creepy enemies, but rather light on actual horror, really. More like a supernatural action thriller.
- Condemned: Criminal Origins - First-person survival horror that forces you to count bullets and weigh the merits of various improvised melee weapons. Dark, sometimes disturbing, and often startling, but not really super-scary.
- Dead Space - Definitely in the survival horror vein, but most of the horror is just gore and jump scares. The later games in the series skew more towards action, dropping a lot of both the survival and horror aspects.
- F.E.A.R. - The horror and action aspects are severely compartmentalized, and the horror sections are more just spooky than scary.
- Home - Psychological horror with a branching narrative base. Kind of like a choose-your-own-adventure story with creepy exploration stuff.
- Left 4 Dead 2 - Zombies! Zombies everywhere! Shoot 'em dead!
- Metro 2033 - Stealth FPS with occasional monster attacks. More intense than scary.
- Serena - More psychological horror, even more of a walking simulator than Home. Good story and environment, tho', and it's free!
- System Shock 2 - Is there another? We are we are we are . . . they see you! Run! RUN!
Once you're acclimated, we'll start talking stuff like Amnesia, Fatal Frame, Outlast, and Paranormal.

Condemned: Criminal Origins is kinda hardcore, I loved it, Dead Space fits in as well ^^

Eheheh I'm a chicken as well, I get scared way too easily because I get easily immersed :D

Start with free SCP games. This for example. Maybe firstly you find it boring, you just walk and walk, but it constantly keeps you in suspense and when you meet monsters, you'll shit your pants.

Okay, that's a creepy coincidence. I started reading through the SCP stuff a little while back, and the latest one I read just happened to be SCP-087. :|

I love horror games. The fun fact about them is that they scare you. Also it is hard to make a good horror atmosphere that draws you into the game to the point that you are actually scared.
THEY MAKE YOU FEEL ALIVE

F.E.A.R. is pretty spooky at times. Best A.I. around too.
Comment has been collapsed.
As a lot of people said, Outlast.
I tried it, and will probably never go back again.
I am not brave enough.
But you lied, you are not a chicken, you are a lobster with god power.
So it will be a simple walk for you :)

Start with Bioshock imo, can be a bit spooky and things but nothing big.
Also it would help you out a lot, if you don't think you WILL be scared when you play the game, just set your mind to think that anything that happens won't freak you out. That's what I did and I stopped being scared of horror movies, games etc.

Imho: skip any jump-scare laden game suggestions. Goto the real stuff.That is psychological thrill. For a starter how about sins of the fathers? (Shamelessy advocating gog here) www.gog.com/game/gabriel_knight_sins_of_the_fathers

Amnesia,Penumbra,Outlast,Slender,... It's better to start off with scariest ones :D

Now, as you can tell from the title, I am not fond of 'horror' anything. Be they movie/games/etc. I tend to shy away because ... well ... I'm a chicken XD. But I want to change that! So I have come to you fellow peeps for guidance.
Which horror games would you suggest to someone who never played one before?
Oh and random giveaway because ....
