No one's mentioned this yet? Interesting.
There's this horror game that's been out for about a month now called Five Nights at Freddy's.
Basically, you work as a night security guard at a Chuck E-Cheese ish restaurant called Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. That by itself doesn't sound too terrible, other than the fact that the animatronic mascots start wandering around and are trying to kill you.
Stuck in the security office and armed with nothing but access to the facility's cameras, switches for the office's electronic doors, and a light switch (to check the blind spots right outside your office), you must survive until your shift ends at 6 AM.
Make it to 6 AM, and you're safe. Yes, even if death is staring you right in the face!
In response to this, one might say "That sounds terrifying! No worries, though. I'll just shut the doors and use the cameras to keep an eye on those assholes!"
Ah, but I forgot to mention one little detail: everything runs on a generator with limited power. Use of the cameras, blind spot lights, and doors consumes said power. And when the power goes off, you're all alone in a dark office just waiting for Freddy and friends to waltz right in (and they won't hesitate to do so!)
I haven't played this game, and I will probably never play this game. However, I am in the process of watching a playthrough, and even that's difficult for me. I don't know what it is about this game, but it terrifies me in a way no horror game ever has. It's even slightly reawakened my fear of the dark! Then again, I'm a newbie when it comes to the horror genre of video games. What do FFR's horror veterans think?
The game is available on Steam.
