There's not a lot of horror games that are actually horror. The ones I know are darkness 2,murder mystery, or possession, or something around those lines. I am not talking about the games like "JASON ESCAPED HIS CAGE" or "SLENDER IS SEEKING TO FIND YOU." I know I didn't list all of the actually horror games, but whatever. I am thinking to make a horror game myself and test to see if it actually scares people. I don't have a lot of ideas on what is scary, or what makes a person frightened. So if you know anything, please post something below.

I'd love to see this. I know 2 good scripted Slender games out there, and I've got scared by them (depending on what happened)

Have at it. Make something where things just pop out of randomness of when you least expect it. Maybe GUI popups with a scary loud noise? Use ambient lighting and make the place pitch black dark and give them a flashlight, so they shall find out the map for themselves.

Just make a game with a story line kind of horror. Possibly flickering lights that make those 'zzzzz' noises (like in hospitals during scary movies) and stuff like that. Maybe a mansion or somethin.

I'll find someone that can script. I am not good at scripting, but I can build.

Limit the player's view, possibly add fog or darkness. Have the player also use a flashlight with the dynamic lighting feature for more sight and to add visual effect.

I plan on doing something that uses 1 player servers and the multi-place thing so it can be huge.

Things that make people frighten is to increase their Insanity in anyway as they stated. Having an eerie background will help and describing a Undefined Creature that doesn't exist in this World or persona contains deep fear that can possess Human Mind.

Hey, there's this old game which i heard is rather scary, I haven't played it yet but I thought it might interest you http://www.roblox.com/F-E-A-R-First-Encounter-Assault-Recon-READ-DESC-place?id=21140258 There's a few videos of it on Youtube too.Here's one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsMyGmSYOPg It's recommended you play the game by yourself, and to play in first-person view.I'm not sure if the game still works as intended since it's old but yeah... Can't really think of any ideas now, except for the ones already mentioned, lol.I'll come back and reply if I can think of something.Hope you end up finishing your game!Good luck!

I have a great idea, how about, you put yourself in the game, you scare me. I mean, when people will look at you, they will flip ****, your face is scary. This time, it's personal.
