Sorry for the spoiler! BUT HAUNTED MANNEQUIN

[allisonmcmillan141]

I just still can't get over these dang mannequins that appear out of nowhere ALL LOOKONG LIKE THE HEAD FROM THE HAUNTED HOUSE CHAPTER!!! I love that the creators added this in though, but ♥♥♥♥ are they sooooooooo creepy. I didn't get unsettling feelings from video game mannequins until now XD


Update: THE ABSOLUTE GENIUS PUT INTO THIS IS AMAZZZZZIIINNNGGGGG....Props....total props for the Boss Battle of My Nightmares

From a few horror games I've played involving mannequins that move when not looking at them, they do seem creepy, but literally harmless, it's always been a popular yet subtle feature in horror like games to add Mannequins, just most have them move, wait until you reach a secret area later though, you probably won't be creeped out, but it's a notable feature

Three Notable Games I Remember
There are other games, I just remember these fondly for their mechanics that could actually ruin my runs, whereas most other games are just harmless due to psychological horror instead of survival

Thief 2 - Halloween Special Level: After completing the ritual, Mannequins will spawn in, the only issue with them, they can block the doorways, which can get you deadtrapped with the devil walking around

Ghostwire Tokyo Anatomy Mannequin: I think this is tied to a DLC or special area, but it's in the school specifically, which is its own standalone area from start to finish, this one is far worse because not only does it move when not looking, you can hear its footsteps & it runs at you when not looking, when nearby, it will kill/knock you out & you have to start over again

Phantom Line Playtest: Also same as the above, they're giant Mannequin dolls that run at you when not looking, when nearby or they catch you, they hurt you & of course can eventually kill you, while it is an FPS action game, you can't kill them though, so I just move backwards staring at them to navigate the maze, a unique feature though which I'll hide due to spoilers as the game isn't released yet If they stare into a mirror, then they are essentially staring at themselves & they get stuck, or maybe it was just them reaching a certain point they can't get passed, either way, it's a cool game that has yet to release

My Favorite Person on Steam, Just Don't Tell Anyone

Good Luck & Have Fun

Bethesda had some of that in their games. In Skyrim the mannequins were actually NPCs, so sometimes they could "break character" and move. In Fallout 4 the game has scenes that make it look like mannequins could move, even though in that game they actually are just static objects. In at least one totally optional side area you find a stage littered with mannequins and there is a surprise there among them: there is an early gen Synth hiding among the group that attacks you.

Oh ya in Fallout 4 there's a whole vault of just mannequins and they frrreeeaaaked me out. Although in this game I just noticed that there's one in the basement and I just finally finished the game and now it has a traffic cone hat lol.
