Scary game ask the spirits 2

If you dig the surreal, this game is definitely for you. It may surprise fans of the series that I have chosen this game to represent the franchise. Many people bemoan the shift in gameplay from strict survival horror to an action game facade.

However, I feel those criticisms are completely unfounded. I had my misgivings as well. However, they were quickly forgotten the moment I entered the first village. Anybody that has played this game has a similar story.

As I was battling hordes of insane villagers, I could hear the sound of a chainsaw in the background. Eventually, I saw a man with a bag over his head, chainsaw in hand running straight for me. I thought to myself without too much concern, this is going to hurt, definitely going to take some damage from this.

I was in no way prepared for what came next. Then the sickening sound it made as it contacted his body made my jaw fall to the floor.

I literally dropped the controller. That is the second I knew this game was legit, and the scares continued throughout. Even playing the game now, when I hear the sound of a faint chainsaw in the background, I damn near have a panic attack. I will never forget the first time I played this game. He was the envy of all, because he had acquired an Xbox at launch.

He had gotten his hands on the majority of games available making him a veritable rock star in our dorm at UW—Madison. However, there was a particular game that we had heard nothing about called Condemned: Criminal Origins. We popped it in and were forever changed. In this title, you play as Ethan Thomas. This game is from a first-person perspective, but surprisingly features little in terms of gun play.

The combat is predominantly melee. You pick up improvised weapons from the dark and dingy environments such as a stick of rebar or a wooden plank.

This adds a visceral and personal edge to the violence of the game. On top of the generally unsettling feeling this game instills, there are very effective jump scares liberally peppered throughout. There are parts to this game that are so effectively scary that I had to pass the controller to a friend. This is a game that wears its influences on its sleeve. After receiving a distress call from a spaceship orbiting a far-flung planet, you are tasked with exploring the seemingly empty vessel.

It quickly becomes clear this is not at all the case. The grotesque creature design in this game is as fantastic as it is horrifying. It subverts your usual expectations of a shooter game. In order to kill these creatures, you have to remove their limbs as opposed to shooting them in the head like every other game. As with most of the entries on this list, this game is well-balanced. It finds a commendable balance between jump scares and an all encompassing sense of dread. Resident Evil 4 notwithstanding, this game is the most pure fun game to play on this list.

This is the most recent edition to this list, and it definitely deserves its place. Armed with only a night vision equipped camera, you play a journalist attempting to get a scoop on a closed down mental hospital. That premise alone is terrifying enough, but it only gets worse from there.

The reason this game is so well regarded is that it has an almost uncanny ability to instill helplessness in the player. It is of a handful of games that eschew combat like the next entry on this list. When you encounter an enemy, you have two choices, run or hide. A beautifully implemented mechanic in the game can serve as a catch While hiding in the dark, you want to see what is chasing you to make sure that the threat is no longer there.

But if you use the night vision you become much easier to spot. I oftentimes found myself hiding in a closet in pitch blackness hyperventilating just as much as the character on the screen. This game is truly scary. This game definitely served as the inspiration for Outlast , and I feel it is more effective.

It is often regarded as the scariest game of all time by many. However, it will have to settle with second best on this list. This is another game where fighting back is not an option. Your only choice is to escape the Lovecraftian horrors this game throws at you and just pray that they eventually go away.

This game has a very interesting and clever mechanic called the sanity meter. Like in Outlast , you want to keep your eyes on the demonic horrors that are chasing you. But if you stare too long you begin to lose your sanity. This causes the screen to shake and phantom noises to appear making the experience that much more chilling.

Unlike my pick for number 7…. It is nowhere near as scary as The Dark Descent , but it is well worth checking out for its top-notch story. You are no longer welcome.

Expect the prize outside your front door the next morning. Sure, getting a prize is great, but you might not want to risk playing this game once you figure out the consequences of losing. Daruma-san or the Bath Game is another ritual originating from Japan. It involves summoning a ghost which will most likely follow you all day long to try and catch you. In order to summon said ghost, go to your bathroom before bedtime, strip yourself naked, fill the tub with water, and turn off the lights.

Climb inside the tub and position yourself in front of the faucet. You will see a mental image of a Japanese woman standing in front of a bathtub before she falls on a rusty tap which impales her through the eye. Continue the chant until you finish washing your hair. With your eyes kept shut, carefully stand up, get a towel, exit the bathroom, and close the door behind you. Leave the bath water overnight and get some sleep because the real game will begin the next day.

Do not allow her to catch you by putting some distance between you and her. If you dislike the idea of playing paranormal games by yourself, then this might be the game for you, since it requires two players.

You and your partner has to go to a dark room with a large mirror. Bring a flashlight and a toy, preferably one that a little girl would like. Set up two chairs in front of the mirror and a table behind the chairs. Place the toy on top of the table. You should both take your seats and make sure no other light comes through the room except the ones coming from your flashlights.

If you don't take the game seriously, the demon will kill you. And obviously, you'll be dying to look behind you, but if you do, the demon will attack. Dry Bones is all about hiding. You ask a deadly spirit into your house, and then try to hide from him until 3 AM. If you make it, your wish will be granted. If you don't, well It's scary if he shows up, but it's also scary if he doesn't, because you just sat alone, in the dark, in your house, until 3 AM. And you've got stuff to do tomorrow.

That's called being an adult. To set up your call, you'll need a paper cup, string attached to a needle, a shoebox, scissors, pen and paper, an object with a personal connection to the person you want to contact, and a dark closet. At the end of the day before you go to sleep, turn off all distractions — your TV, your phone, etc — and spend some time meditating. You want your mind as clear as can be. Then, when the time feels exactly right, start writing your letter.

Don't correct any mistakes or cross anything out, just let everything flow. When you're done writing, tie the string to your object and, using the needle, guide the other end of the string through the bottom of the paper cup. Remove the needle and tie a knot so you have what looks like an old wired telephone. Read your letter out loud into the cup, mistakes and all, with full intention. If at any moment you start feeling doubt, abort the mission! You may get the wrong number. Once you're done reading, put your letter and the object, which should still be attached to the cup, into the shoebox.

Close the shoebox and place the cup standing on top of the lid. In time, you'll receive a "call. If the box is closed with the cup still upright on top, it's safe to take the call. Put the cup to your ear and listen. It's important to never speak during this received call, even if asked questions. Once the call is over, snap the string. Discard the cup never put it to your ear again and leave the shoebox closed for some time.

Shortly before 3 AM, turn off all of the lights in your house. Go into a room, close the door, and light a candle. At 3 AM on the dot, knock on the door three times and repeat this phrase three times: "Spirit of the door, I welcome you. Make yourself present and come through. After a few minutes, if the paper remains where you left it, your attempt did not work.

Try again another time. If your paper is gone, the ghost is writing you a message. If the paper does not reappear, abort the mission and try again another time but don't open the door until daytime. If the paper returns, read the message. Repeat this process two more times to ask a total of and no more than three questions. If at any time you're told to go away, listen! After asking your three questions, thank the ghost for its time and blow out the candle.

Don't open the door again until daylight. A game about pushing buttons and following directions should be right up the alley of most adults. If you think about it, most jobs today are just following directions and pushing buttons. But it's pretty rare for data entry to result in portals to other worlds and creepy women hoping for the chance to eat a human soul.

It's debated whether or not the elevator game should be played alone or if you can play it with friends. But either way, to get started, step into an elevator. And it's important to note that if anyone gets on or off the elevator at any time in the sequence, you have to start over. Press the button for the 5th floor.

If a woman enters here, don't talk to her! She's not human and will take you if you do. Press the button for the 1st floor. The elevator will either go up or down. If you end up on the first floor, get off the elevator! If you end up on the tenth floor, you are in the other world.

The woman who got on at the fifth floor may try to talk to you — don't answer her. You'll know you're in the other world because your phone won't work, and you won't be able to see anything out of the windows except a red cross. To get back to our real world, follow the same steps. If you start ascending back to the tenth floor after the fifth, press any other button to cancel the ascension. Once you reach the first floor, very carefully assess your surrounding to make sure you're no longer in the other world.

As an added disturbing bonus, this is rumored to be the game that Elisa Lam was playing prior to her untimely death. If you play The Picture Game right, you'll capture a photo of a ghost! To play, you'll need string or a rope, two small mirrors, a camera with the flash on, a glass filled with some alcohol, and something sharp like scissors or a knife.

First, make the rope into a circle and knot it, then place it on the floor in the middle of the room. Put the glass of alcohol into the middle of the circle and with the lights off, sit around the circle with your mirrors in front of you pointed up towards the ceiling. Close your eyes and hold hands, and in turn, each person should say "I trust you. Open your eyes and pass the camera around the circle.

Whoever has the camera should take a photo of whatever is in front of them remember, flash on and say "I caught you. To end the game and hopefully send whatever ghost you summoned back to where it came from, everyone in unison should say "It is time to go home" and turn your mirrors face down.

Turn on the lights, cut the rope circle open, and pour the glass of alcohol outside. To play, you need a candle, pen and paper, matches or a lighter, salt, a wooden door, and most importantly and grotesquely, a drop of your own blood. Write your full name on the piece of paper along with a drop of your own blood.

Turn off all of the light and place the paper in front of the closed wooden door. Light the candle and put it on top of the paper. Knock on the door 22 times — the last knock should land exactly at midnight. Open the door, blow out the candle, and then close the door — the Midnight Man is now with you until AM.

Light the candle again and spend the next few hours avoiding the Midnight Man. If your candle goes out, it means he's near you. Relight the candle within ten seconds and getaway!
