There is quite a few others im shocked no one has mentioned yet
I know it's not really obscure, but the one game that scared the bejeezuz out of me was Silent Hill (PSX). Borrowed it from a friend and it took me almost 3 months to finish it cuz it freaked the living crap out of me. I liked parasite eve 1 though, because that was more of a fantasy game and then turned into a survival horror in later iterations
Obscure? God damned psychological horror DOS games.
Easily the worst (as in, most unsettling) I've ever had the opportunity to play, was "I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream". Having seen a several hour long playthrough of the game and the horrors within I wanted to see if there was anything to actually playing it myself, and yeah. Here ya go.

Why did someone in this thread feel scared about Silent Hill Origins? It was too quick to me, and just felt like it should have been better, but all the none team silent games feel that way.
Hello Kitty... it be creepy
Something like that :P could've sworn I'd read the whole thread, dunno how I missed someone else posting about that game before I went to. Still, that particular ending sequence is probably the most disturbing imo.
For a more original mention though, other than this the scariest game I've ever played would probably have to be, surprisingly, Majora's Mask. The general atmosphere of the game was creepy enough (fuck that happy mask guy, srsly), the worst part for me was most definitely the whole Great Bay section. The whole swimming through murky ocean depths, that crazy fish boss, and especially the bit with the sea snakes in the huge pit & the zora eggs... main reason I haven't touched this game in years.
Its tough for me to find games that actually scare me, but a few creep me out pretty good. Especially when I'm home alone and have my headphones on.
The most currents ones to do that where Alan Wake, BioShock 1 & 2 and Dead Space (haven't played 2 yet).
Siren: Blood Curse (Siren: New Translation in Europe) was pretty scary. Also really cool too. Really loved the archive where you could unlock items that give a lot of back story on why the stuff was happening.
SCP containment breach that one is too seriously scary
I play horror so much that it doesn't phase me. Oddly enough, the games that fans make always end up scaring the bajeebus outta me. SCP-087-B was the only game that really freaked me out. XD; I think the main reason is that the story given is very short, and leaves everything unknown. I feel that sense of not being able to understand why anything is happened is what makes it so frightening. There is only one creature in the entire game chasing after you and it's all random when he shows up. You can go through all 400 levels without encountering him, but the dread of him appearing is what makes the game so frightening.
I've played Clock Tower, Amnesia/Justine, all the Silent Hills, Fatal Frames, Call of Cthulhu, Obscure, Condemned, Slender, Slenderman, basically almost everything except Deadly Premonitions. xD I'm scared at first, but I can overcome it because there is always pattern and I can understand why everything is there for the most part. Yet this fan made game scares the shit outta me.
They made a game out of that one? O_O I need to play that like asap.

I played Silent Hill 2 and 3 when I was around 13 which scared the living daylight out of me. No game has really scared me since then.
scared? right offhand only 1 comes to mind but i already went over why in another thread, minecraft's last map area
other than that i don't even remember, i do however remember a few that came off more as creepy or just disturbing though.
FEAR 1 & 2: first game was increasingly creepy as you go through it but that was likely the main idea, for the 2nd game i found the parts around the ending kinda disturbing because of what was happening (not going into details there).
um... i gues the most recent game was that short series based on luna from mlp:fim. Luna Game, sadly after playing through all 5 games it left me wondering how mentally the disturbed the creator was when making the games more than anything. i'd say mildly creepy but thats about it. i've seen better and i've seen worse fails
oh and there was also the game Slender which i didn't play but rather watched a few LP videos of, the videos were enough for me. i don't see myself ever playing that game honestly, i might try amnesia except its a massive download which i can't get done easily at all :( so more than likely LP video's on that too.
Silent Hill series , especially the first one.
For all the Shadowman fans, these screenshots are so cool. Im downloading it now.

Ugh theyre too big to post here, but its definitely worth checking out there. Ill see how it is when I play with them.
These Slender games are only scary because it has the "Every Horror movie Sound Effects" and the suspense... If you have played Slender and like it eh, u should try the other 2. Hospice and Sanatorium.
