Nato And Remy’s Last Stand: Moments In Horror Gaming That Made Us Pee A Little

While horror movies are something Matt and I obviously adore for a multitude of reasons, we would be fools not to take a moment and give some props to some of the great horror games that have come out in the last decade. While horror films are fun, they are passive experiences, which leads us to feel safe, no matter what is happening. A horror game, on the other hand, strips that safety away and places us INTO the moments of extreme horror, showing us just how we would react to such scenarios. It's a wholly encompassing way to experience a medium, especially one as visceral as horror.

What makes this game work so well is the fact that it leaves its player completely helpless. You have no means of attack, and can only run and hide when these horrible abominations find you. It is completely terrifying, and makes playing this game an undeniably nerve wrecking experience.

At no point is this more glaringly obvious than when you encounter your first creature in Amnesia. From the way it looks to the fact that you have no way to defend yourself, there is a reason there are tons of reactionary videos on Youtube of people playing this game and screaming like children – because it really IS that scary.
