well since im a coward ive never really played a real horror game. but i HAVE played 2 games that are considered horror games.
rule of rose isnt scary and is more disturbing psycholigically i guess. but the begining of the game takes place in a very creepy unsetling dark scenery which made me scared.
and ive also played ib. it has those old graphics like mother and the old final fantasies but there are some jump scares, a creepy story and the music can get scary too. a painting of a lady that suddenly jumps and crawls after you and a particular room with blue dolls are the pretty scary.
again im a coward so i might be on a whole different level.
