that spooky jumpscare game actually looks very interesting

4:04 UNDERTALE FANS, THAT AIN'T ASRIEL

[RPGMaker]

CAN SOMEONE UNDERSTAND!? THATS NOT ASRIEL, THEY'RE MIMIGAS, CAVE STORY CAME OUT 12 YEARS AGO

[Rubycario-yt]

I knew Pokemon would make it onto the list. xD Just to clarify, though, it's never actually confirmed that Blue's (Green in Japan for those who care) Raticate died. It was *kind of* implied with him being there, and saying, "None of your Pokemon look dead." But yes, Lavender Town is creepy, and it bothered me that a tower filled with dead Pokemon was changed into a radio tower as well. I guess it was their attempt at taking death out of the games a bit, but when you get right down to it, it's just morally wrong.

And OMG, I remember Cookie Clicker! I wonder if my progress is still saved. I'll go check that later. xD

OoT did take a dark turn. That whole under the well and Shadow Temple where rather unsettling to say the least. Especially when it felt like I got on the ship to sail down the river Styx at the gates of hell.

The creepiest thing about Majora's Mask was that it always felt as though I was LITERALLY putting on the face of a dead person each time I transformed. The game itself is dark around basically every corner, kind of like an old halloween flick.

Just thought I'd share my own thoughts on the games I've played on this list. :/

where the fuck is club penguin the penguin girls with eye lashes looks creepy as crap

[bazinwaz]

Cave Story... One of the best games I have ever played.
Not the 3d version.

[adenshalala]

I'm sorry, did he say 'katarami damacy'

[Swifswaf]

Y'know I'm pretty fine with having every atom in existence turning into cookies. It's just the grandmapocalypse in cookie clicker that is very disturbing...

[KuDastardly]

I don't suppose those mimigas are what inspired the designs of Asriel from Undertale.

[centuriesaj]

wow. i'm surprised you didn't include "the luna

[Billygoat_-cdjl]

Yea majora's mask is a pretty creepy game after you realize that through the whole game link is dead and going to through the stages of grief.

[lostitem]

For #6, there's even more dark shit. Apparently Link is dead in that game, or that is what The Game Theorists have said... That's just dark really. I got the game on my 3DS and I've played it. I love Zelda games, and finding that out just made it a lot more creepier, dark, and just disturbing XD

[refinerymeat]

Lol I was waiting for you to say spooked house of jumpscares

[wxsprincess]

Replace Pokemon Red with Can your Pet.
Can Your Pet is more creepy.

[Wishboneevr]

Actually the BEST ending of Eversion is when the princess AND Zee-Tee both become monsters. How romantic! <3

[that_nerd_again]

Ahh Spooky's house of jumpscares!
It's my idol!

[whensomethingcriesagain]

Most disturbing thing in Pokemon: you defeat birds by throwing rocks at them and shocking them.

[sourcefierce]

It's great to hear your voice again!

[HECKproductions]

the dolphin on the cover of that game looks terrifying enough

[RetroEjit]

I remember being scarred for life after reaching that Giger inspired Alien final boss in Ecco the Dolphin !
