Are there any genuinely scary, heart-pounding, sweat-inducing, white-knuckle (hyperbole overload!!) games available on the App Store? The only "scary" games I've played are "Soul", "Silent Hill - The Escape", Fallen EP 1 and Resident Evil 4 - which I found the latter to be disappointing. Gameloft's attempt: "Zombie Infection" lacked any atmosphere or scares, despite being a good game otherwise. Are there any decent scary games out there on the App Store? I can only dream of a Silent Hill 2 port, but Konami seem to be treating App Store customers like fools.
lol there isn't a scary game for iphone... I've tried "soul" and "fallen" but I have never had the famous "jump-from-the-chair"!
Mystique is pretty nice... The atmosphere is scary, and I definitely jumped a couple times. I'm a bit of a scaredy-cat, though Mystique 2, from what I've played, is also scary. Though I'm completely stuck on the first portion of the game :\ Mystique is pretty short, though. If it's $1, it's worth it for the atmosphere and scares.
Enviro Bear. It's all nice............. until you encounter the badger. Ever since the incident with the badger, I have had nightmares and I keep on hearing rustling noises like a badger is trying to get into my house.
Plants vs. Zombies scared the living shit outta me. I had nightmares of them eating my plants for weeks.
I found Soul very freaky, nothing else at all has made me feel that on the App Store. Horses for courses.
NY zombies is awesome scary ...soul is craping the hell out of me till nw...aftermath is nice cause i like its atmosphere..u should give it a try....mystique is waaay waaaay scary awesome horror game with its two parts 1 and 2...call of duty world at war is also awesome i think those are the most awesome games and scariest and ofcurse including resident evil 4 and silent hill
CoD: Zombies is not really scary, but it really shocks you when a zombie whacks you from behind and you're not expecting it. I jumped in my seat when that happened
If I were you, I'd keep your eye out for the upcoming Forgotten Memories, watching the gameplay videos scare the crap out of me, I had nightmares for a week after seeing it, so yeah. Just search Forgotten Memories here on the forums!
yeah i agree too fogotten memories will be the most scariest app in the app store..its videos are waaay awesome..i just hope this game be released too soon
Playing "Soul" with headsets made me jump. Headsets are key if you want to get scared as you it enhances the horror aspect of your gaming environment. "NY Zombies" doesn't scare as much as it maintains a pretty taut pace throughout. My heart definitely gets a pounding what with the cool-creepy atmospheric OST.
Atmospheric and cerebral scary, like Rosemary's Baby, The Shining, The Innocents, The Omen (1976), The Wicker Man (1974) and other movies of the like. The Sixth Sense as well, to some extent. Also most notable Asian Horror films: Ringu, Ju-On, A Tale of Two Sisters, Shutter, and a long long list of many others. Scares that make you jump = Cheap Scares that deal with gore = Cheap Scares that make you look over your shoulder when you go home after watching the movie, or make you scared of going to sleep = Effective I could go on forever, listing amazing horror films that take the psychological approach. But I'll save you the reading.
