Somebody tell me why this crap is scary?
The hype surrounding this unscary crap is scarier than the game by over 3000 times, I swear. And before anyone complains, I saw the two trailers and played it on my Android and I'm NOT SCARED.

well i never had a past with human abominations which you can encounter in amnesia, they still scared me. You mentioned slender would be scarier, so i guess you had a past with slenderman? Damn dude, that's awesome!

Slenderman was scary because he was designed to scare you, not to mention his sinister looks. Those dolls however? The story says they please the crowds at day and then haunt a security guard at night. The guys at this thread couldn't come up with an explanation as to why these screaming dolls are scary, so they resorted to personality and history to explain it.
Good job straw manning my entire post.

Slenderman is anything but scary tbh. I am more scared by those creepy ass looking dolls than i am by this overhyped slenderman crap
Because apparently a nearly cute doll showing up in your face is much scarier than turning around and seeing Slendy's blank face in your face? Or the fact he teleports near you suddenly when you see him, but the dolls have to walk out? Totally legit.
There's no way anyone can answer this without a full damn essay sized post about the psychology behind uncanny valley and the history of people finding animatronic dolls creepy as all heck.

If he's expecting THAT, he's not getting it from anyone here.
ITT: A white guy in a suit is scarier than ghostly dolls.

you think those dolls look nearly cute? damn, your childhood was ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up if you really think that. Don't wanna know what dolls you had back then. A teleporting blanked face man that just looks like a normal guy with a white head is not scary and totally cheap. This game right here is something unique, you can't run away and you HAVE to "defend" yourself.

Scott made these guys scary too. Maybe Slender Man was origionally a nice guy in a suit who would help people. They made the dolls scary on purpose. By the way, personality is why you like Slenderman too.

I like scary stuff that manages to be scary. But this? Oh my you've got to be kidding me. They're the farthest thing from scaring me. My sister spooking me with a loud BOO from behind is scarier than this.

Not to mention that seeing Slendy would give you a sense of dread, you don't know who the hell is that thing. The dolls however are just things that go fun at day. Slendy makes the dolls look like one elaborate joke that failed.

Yes. They don't have anything scary about them. And the idea is idiotic; why doesn't the security guard run away and save us from playing this failure of a joke?

You afraid of dolls? How childish.

I can't believe that someone really thinks slender is scary. As long as you don't look back you are fine and you won't see him (when outside) or you just look at the ground. But to each his own. I understand that you think he is scary because you have a different "taste" about scary things. Now you have to understand that we think this game is scary becasue we have a different taste as well.
We get it, it's not scary to you - round of applause, there's really not anything else to say.

There is literally NO way to accurately describe one persons experiences and feelings towards something and then expect everyone else realistically to share those...because thats not how the mind or the human psyche works.

It's a case of 'It just happens for some folks' is really the BEST and most accurate answer you can actually expect...it's not the most developed or popular answer, but it is the most valid and the most applicable one when dealing with something that tends to be unique from person to person, such as triggers for fear and dread.

And that doesn't make ANYONE lesser than the other...we're all different, big deal.
Stop acting like an overbearing knowitall and just accept that people see things differently.

Because the dolls would go outside and kill people, he keeps them inside because they are focused on getting him first. Why don't you just run away from slendermans woods huh? If you are looking for realistic horror games you will fail sooooo hard. These are games afterall. I'm not afraid of dolls, those aren't even dolls, those are robots that look like cute animals. You afraid of a man in a suit? How childish.
Okay let me sum it up like this, but know two things:
I've never played past the second night because I've yet to purchase the full game.
Different things scare different people.

The thing that scares people in this game is that childhood fear of animatronics, a fun place (like Chuck E.Cheese) having something sinister going on, and the threat of a jumpscare. Let's start with the animatronics, they're ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ creepy on their own... but then again what animatronic isn't creepy on their own. They look like something out of the uncanny valley, with them not looking natural in the slightest (Jesus Christ, who the ♥♥♥♥ gives a duck teeth), the way they move around and what's implyed their doing makes your mind do most of the work. Making you think of the most unnatrual ♥♥♥♥ that these things could be doing.

Next is the whole sinsiter thing going on. I don't know about you, but schools, theme parks, and other places for "kids", I always thought that there was something not right about them. In school there were plenty of ghost stories told around the playground, things like a kid who got killed by a crocidile in a pit nearby and he drags people into there at night if they come to close, the fact that Bloody Mary haunts the girls bathroom, or that the Chuck E. Cheese mascots come to life at night and kill any kids who stay there after dark. It's stupid, but since you're a kid you believe it no matter how stupid it is. And that's the fun in it, and the fun that the game captures, taking something childish and putting a creepy spin on it.

Finally the most effective thing in the game, the threats of the jumpscare and what's being implied. You're constantly looking at the cameras and checking doors, hoping to God you didn't ♥♥♥♥ up and let them inside the room. You're hoping that they don't pop out when you put down your camera, or when you open the doors. Why do you think Foxy is the most popular? The threat of his jumpscare is the most known, keep an eye on him but don't watch him 24/7 or he'll get you. Freddy is least known, because he only comes to kill you on special occasions. The rest are there to make you constantly on your guard, and they always get you when you least expect it. Then there's what they do when they catch you, I mean getting forcefully crushed into a creepy ass suit is a terrible way to go, then getting stared down by some faceless jackass in a suit.

Here is where I'll go off topic and rant about the Slenderman:

Really Slendy isn't all that interesting in his game format. In Slender, he's used as a lazy excuse to jumpscare you, it works at first but soon it gets boring because he does the same tricks. Always appear behind or infront, as long as you keep an eye on him you'll be fine. It would work better if there was more then one monster coming after you, all using different tactics similar to Five Night's at Freddy's. If they tossed in The Rake to chase you throughout the map, and used Slendy as a presence (Like he's the one running the show, and the rest of the monsters were his minions) I can assure you that his game wouldn't have died long after the LP'ers got bored. See, in FNAF Freddy is used as a presence, as something to be feared. Freddy rarely comes after you, until you prove yourself as a threat to him, then he starts breaking the rules and making his own, stripping you of security you felt before since you're out of control now, Freddy runs the show not you.

If Slender or it's sequel did this, I think it would've made for a scarier game. With
The Slenderman acting as more of a malevolent force, then some grunt that's going after you.

Because Slendy can teleport to you outside of the wood. And ugh, why doesn't he call the police and tell them there were dead security guards? Heh heh heh. And no, don't say I can call the police for Slendy because he can teleport and disappears, but the dolls? They are freaking robots. Destroy them. That's how easy these suckers are!

Afraid of a robot you can destroy as opposed to a tall man with tentacle hands from his bed and an enormous tall who can teleport away from your attacks and counterattack? Oh my.
But you can't destroy them - you're a security guard with no defensive tools.
Just bigass metal doors, some poor lights and a camera with poor visibility.

see how cheap slenderman is? You can't kill him - he will teleport away, you can't catch him - he will teleport away, no one except you will see him - he will teleport away before other people can see him. You have to run away from slenderman, there is no other task to do, just running away. That's not scary, that's boring and uncreative. every time he appears you are like "well, just don't look at him lolz", that's it. This slender sh!t really destroyed the horror genre.
