What game is too terrifying to finish for you? (kbin.social)

Mine is Silent Hill 3. Its subject matter revolves around the fears of a teenage girl, like death of a parent, puberty, unwanted pregnancy (with a demon fetus, no less), mirrors (THAT ROOM shivers), and stalkers. The atmosphere is so oppressive and I cant play the game without having something else playing in the background, its that horrifying. I managed to finish Silent Hill 2 last year, which was like conquering my own fears. One day, I'll finish SH3. One day.

Even though I’ve finished the first three at least once, Fatal Frame games are terrifying. I love them dearly, but I literally can only play any of them for maybe an hour before I have to turn them off.

I don’t know if I would be able to finish one these days. My anxiety is way worse than when I was young.

Edit: To be more specific, the sound design in FF games is too good. The atmospheric sound effects, the background music, the ghosts voices. It’s so creepy. The way the ghosts appear out of nowhere, the subject matter of folkloric rituals.

It’s all just the perfect storm of terror. The anxiety gets to me after a time.

Siren is another series I would hate to play right now.
