the slender man game where you're in the forest

Dark forests in combination with creepy soundtracks and martial monsters scared me in particular as child.

nothing.

I remember getting a jump on RE2 when the crows came through the window, and also the dogs ... but apart from that nothing.

Shadow of the Beast

None.

minecraft - the zombies were especially scary since creepers were easily seen and arrows from skeletons were easy to block off

Scary Maze on techbigs. You’ll need to stay very focused a small dot to the end of the mazes and a horror picture will bump in to the screen with a loud scream.

This game would have me haunted even these days tbh

Bioshock 2 when I was 11. Pathetic.

Ecco the Dolphin for the Sega Mega Drive. It was just so weird and the dolphin was just super shiny. The world was just super scary, like it was set in outer space or something, with the use of purple and blue. It doesn't help with the soundtrack and audio that went along with the game. The Sega Mega Drive audio chip was known to have produced some horrible sounds, if musicians didn't know how to use it. Other games were known to be great which were able to create having the best soundtracks (you wouldn't have any issue finding that out), that's how bad the audio can get at times. I never understood it because the game had strong support from Sega itself and no one wants to bash the game, because it's part of the main Sega games. They don't make sequel of the Ecco game anymore, unlike the Sonic games, so it tells me and maybe says something.

I would agree with this. Well, if not this, the first System Shock looked creepy, Even the bad ending game over screen that went along with the first game, was creepy.

Dead Rising?

I was around 13/14, so not really a child technically I guess but Dead rising 2 off the record. I refused to play the game unless my parents or older brother would sit in the same room as me. The "psychopaths" in the game used to scare the sh*t out of me, especially these two
