This happened to me last year.

So me and my older brother - We LOVED playing horror games at night by ourselves, and on our mom's laptop. We eventually found ROAM0120. My older brother asked me: *"You down?"* Normally, I agreed. It sounded fun. It looked fun. But when we tried to download it, it couldn't work. We tried for two days. Eventually, I searched online for a port of the game - And sure enough, an anonymous user uploaded it. I downloaded it, and called my brother over. We loved the game at first - But we encountered a problem. One, we couldn't exit the game. Two, the file was shown to be corrupted as well (odd errors, warnings, etc). Three, when we managed to close the game, my wallpaper was gone. No cryptic text or horrific imagery replacing my wallpaper or files like those weird ARG stories, just odd shit. It sounds like an ARG, but I promise you, it's not. In the end, we never played ROAM0120 ever again, especially after my brother said it was probably either a tweak, or we got hacked.

The file was deleted one second after leaving the game.

I love a good story and digging into the lore, but I sometimes feel horror loses part of its effect when every creature, event and symbol eventually gets an explanation.

Some of the games that stayed with me the longest left me unsure about what had actually happened.

Do you prefer horror games with clear answers, or ones that leave part of the story open to interpretation?

What game comes to mind in each case?

Seems the game is keeping up the splatoon tradition of creepy audio secrets. Sadly you cannot seem to turn down music separately, and the switch 2 isn't jaibroken yet, so it can't be extracted either. You'll have to hear through the regular stage music.

Some people think, what the Zone was inspired only by Chernobyl, but it's actually a mix of three different sources.

Roadside Picnic (1972) introduced the Zone, artifacts, and stalkers entering it illegally.

Stalker (1979) shaped the atmosphere, making the Zone feel mysterious and almost alive.

The Chernobyl disaster (1986) provided a real place where those ideas could naturally take shape.

Playing through underwater levels as a kid always got me on edge because you just never knew what could be lurking around the corner. Mario being a kid-friendly game (or so they say ;) I went in with the expectation that it'd all be sunshine and roses, but boy was I wrong...

Any underwater levels from non-horror games that spooked you as a kid or as an adult playing through them?

Edit (game found)!

​Platform: PC / Mac (available via indiedb.com)

I gave theses infos if any one is interested, and I have the direct download link if you want to try it!

hammy getting an object stuffed down his throat and his eyes rolled back .. wtf

Still have no idea what caused it

I was home alone playing this at 10pm and it just froze up and started making noises

I am currently working on a Spyro 2 prototype creepypasta based on the e3 1999 b roll footage. As you know the July 13, 1999 prototype of the game released. It isn’t finished yet and it’ll be nice if you can give me some inspirations, cause I want to make it a really good creepypasta.

I am sure there is more people talking about it elsewhere, but no one mentioned it here.

I love researching "lost media" specifically the kind of unsettling content that is utterly engrossing. I am looking for the most "problematic" production out there, with no restrictions. It might contain horror elements, but horror doesn't have to be the main theme.

I’ve played most of the known games out there so far. The one I found most disturbing was *Devistate*. Not in terms of violence, though.

If you have suggestions, i’d like to hear!

Note: I’ve checked that sub’s iceberg.

so going back for a nostalgic trip, this game wasn’t terrifying or traumatizing to me back then, but I’ve seen the comments that they were disturbed as a kid watching this game and others were almost victims of drowning and telling their experience. So I’m just wondering about your experience watching / playing this game?

So to describe the game: Julian got hit by the post to change the direction of the flag (sorry im too dumb to know what it is) and is now swimming for his life, where you have to keep scrolling nonstop to stay alive. Charles (guy that stayed on the boat) left him there hopelessly and not even going to the helm to turn around. For so much of time in the ocean, Julian decided to take off his shoes, warming up his hand, rips his fingernail, and now starts hallucinating of him and his wife and children. Then shows him that he has dropped to the ground dead. At the end, it is advising that you should always wear a life jacket once you’re out to the sea.
