How scary is this game?
I suffer from GAD and I'm wondering if this game will cause a conflict. What are your impressions, could you spare some heads up?

This game is not an explicit horror game. It has an eerie atmosphere for the majority of the time. When you need to go underground towards the end it does get creepy and a little scary. It's a good game that has gorgeous visuals too.

Later in the game you'll get to a really creepy level with some nasty shock-moments, definitely one of the scariest moments of my gaming-career (I'm not a huge fan of horror games but still played quite a few). The rest of the game isn't too scary though...

Later in the game you will go underground through the mines. There is a central mine track you will follow here. Halfway down the hall there is a lit room to the side. This will take you down deeper into the mine,where you will read a note about a "sea-thing", and here is where the jump scare is.
This part of the game is optional, though you need to do it for the whole ending. Central to this part is a puzzle, and you can just look up the answer to the puzzle without spending time to do it.
Hope that helps! Let me know if you need more details!

(possible spoilers blanked out)***
beginning of the game there are a few pop ups Traps (that can startle you) and then as others have mentioned there is a mine scene with a pop up scare, run away moment. some erie music, whispery and the fact there is a mysterous element sounds but really not bad. I used head phones so I could hear things better which normally means I will jump more when things pop up. Betrayer is getting more than this game, and the insane asylum in Thief deadly shadows is far wrost

There's a picture on the main page at the moment of what you'll face. If you know it's there, it's less scary than it is annoying and somewhat grotesque.

In my opinion they should not have included a level like that in an otherwise completely peaceful game.
