Undertale, best horror game of 2015?

[maggiekingdom]

Maybe I'm just a baby that gets scared easily, but even without the use of jumpscares and amazing graphics, I feel that Undertale is a truly terrifying game. The fact that it remembers everything, the bullet hell, the way NPCs act around you, and the knowledge of all the endings- especially genocide/true pacifist post genocide, all of that just really gets to me. Does anyone else feel this way?
Don't get me wrong, I love this game to death and I probably won't stop watching videos on it, listening to the soundtrack, and talking about it on the steam community, but this game is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ freaky.
Don't even get me started on W. D. Gaster and everything in the True Lab pls

does it have the same community as Undertale? because I would not be in the know of a lot of scary things about this game if it weren't for the fanbase

there's a wiki community[yumenikki.wikia.com] here if that counts

gaster is inspired by uboa from this game

There are a helluva lot of indie horror games for the PC. I can suggest some to you. =)

Yume nikki wasn't scary.

You want scary? Go back and Play Dark Seed, or watch John Carpenter's the Thing.

i don't find those remotely scary, personally. i like psychological horror like silent hill 2 and the shining & david lynch films

the scariest stuff in yume nikki is also the most obscure, which adds another layer of creepiness like you were never supposed to find this stuff in the first place. the game deliberately feels like it's hiding a dark secret from you, which obviously inspired the creepy gaster stuff.

The thing was a psychological horror, so was Dark Seed. It kept you guessing at who, or what, was going to die next.

for Dark seed, there was plenty of mystery behind the aliens.

If you want a personally good experience, though, I have no mouth, and I must scream.

For me, Yume nikki was trying WAY too hard to be creepy. It's got to be a light touch, or a gentle pat to make it right. For me, things like this do it better. Then again, I'm 30, so I find things back in the 80's scarier than anything mnade now a days.

i would consider "the thing" to be more of a gore-based horror thriller. dark seed is kind of a laughable insult to H.R. giger, but i've only watched retsupurae play it and make fun of it a lot.

psychological horror isn't horror based on actual monsters or aliens, it's based on the fragility of the human mind, usually with an unreliable perspective that isn't based in reality at all, people trapped in their own head. check out "jacobs ladder".

Then pretty much any horror anything can be a psychological horror if it's described like that.

conventional horror has a perspective of an outsider observing events unfolding, like jason vorhees hiding around a corner to stab someone. psychological horror is from the perspective of an unstable persons mind....actually why not just read wikipedia on it? lol https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_horror

Because Wikipedia is a poor choice for a definition on anything since it can be changed on a whim.

But I'm serious, if the person is feeling a sense of danger, or feel like they're in a situation that is completely off putting, anything can be psychological horror.

Like I said about The Thing, or Dark Seed. You dunno who the thing infected, or when that alien's gonna hatch from your head, or what kind of purpose it lives for, which only adds to the danger.

You bring up Jason Voorhees. Ok, Say Jason comes out of the corner and does kill someone, and someone behind him/her sees it and runs. Ok, and Jason doesn't kill this person for a relatively long time during the film. Yes, you know Jason wants to kill them, but you don't know when, where, how, it's mind games really, that adds again to the psychological horror aspect. Yes, it's not as textbook as what you see the term, but anything horror, can still be psychological horror.

you're describing the basic fundamentals of tension and calling it a psychological horror aspect which just isn't true. i'm not really interested in arguing about semantics on a genre of horror that's been established through art for over half a century, sorry. you can click on the citations of wikipedia to learn more about this genre.

wikipedia uses sources, if you don't check those, you don't really know how to use wikipedia.
