I am fascinated by games with 2D art that still manage to give you a good scare. I guess what I find interesting is if a game can manage to translate the scares and audio design which we know from 3D environments and movies. I have never really played any though. I would love to hear some suggestions, especially with Halloween coming soon!
Metroid Fusion has some very scary segments, and my understanding is that Metroid Dread does some of the same things, though I haven’t played through that one yet.
I finished Dread, amazing game, but I don’t remember any scary sections.
