Inspired by the "recommend me an RPG " thread, I'm looking for new scary games to play.

I have all of the Silent Hill games. I do not like Resident Evil. I have the Fatal Frame games, Haunting Ground, and Echo Night Beyond for the PS2, and Eternal Darkness on the GC.

I have pretty much every non-Microsoft system, including handhelds, so...

Am I missing anything?

Clock Tower is a series I've heard good things about. If yer feeling old school, you could try looking for a good Alone in the Dark game. Also I've heard of a game called Siren that's very Silent Hill-ish, but with a bit more of a 'The Ring' vibe to it, although I'm not sure if it was released state-side.

Forbidden Siren, NP? Creepy as hell. (Which makes it good). RE 4 and Dead Aim are surprisingly good.
Alone in the Dark is a classic and I think I still have a copy somewhere around...
I like the House of the Dead series - even though it's just a linear shooting game it had me jump a few times. (only in gaming arcades though.)

I forgot about Siren. I have it, but I so frequently get stuck on doors, walls, and...well, everything...that I gave up on playing. I have Clock Tower 3, too.

Transylvania, for PC! Old game that has a freaky werewolf attack you within 10 turns or so causing you to die yet another werewolf death.

Or at least that happens to me. Except I got to the castle once and got killed by a vampire.

Also, an often-overlooked survival-horror-setting game that's generally not categorized with other SH games...Metroid Fusion. Man, that game freaked me out. The creature designs, the soundtrack, the plot...you're literally supposed to feel desperate, and you probably will as long as you're not super-experienced at the game. Not to mention that some of those things that you have to face (and can't necessarily even beat!) seem practically drawn to scare the crap out of ya, despite being relatively sensible creature design.

Check the "What games are you playing at the moment?" thread for updates on what I've been playing.

You can find me on the Fediverse! I use Mastodon, where I am @[email protected] ( https://sakurajima.moe/@glennmagusharvey )

I'm not sure if that's the kind of game you're looking for, but the old UFO: Enemy Unknown really gives me creeps sometimes.
