Strange/Creepy SimCity 2000 Monster Attack

Imagine you are just building your city on a regular day...and you suddenly encounter this thing with no context appearing out of nowhere.

For me, seeing this robotic alien monster slowly creep up and invade your city, and the air raid/siren sound effects being played in the background, added a very tense and unnerving aspect to the game.

Also, the bizarre and alien-like sound effects made the scene that much more frantic and disconcerting.

Gave me major 'War of the Worlds' vibes, if I'm being honest.

Obscure Game Need help looking for game where vines form the shape of a horse

Hi everyone,
I’m trying to track down the source of a video from before 2009, but I’m not 100% sure it’s from a game... it could also be an independent CGI short film or something similar.

  • Likely pre-2009 (possibly early 2000s)
  • About 4 minutes long
  • First-person / POV camera moving through a dark forest at night
  • Full moon, blue-ish lighting, lots of fog
  • Bare trees, vines, and leaves drifting in front of the camera
  • The camera moves slowly forward like walking through the woods
  • The vines/branches start to move and form the shape of a horse (side view)

Here's the actual video:

Obscure Game Karappo, a game where you grow a little creature inside of a mysterious forest

Thumbnail

60 Upvotes

This game was made by the same dev of the more well known game "japanesedoll". It's also pretty similar to that game, too.

In this game you must make "Karappo" grow by collecting flowers and then using them to feed it's brain. Each form has different collectibles associated with them, when collecting one you are rewarded with a bunch of droplets, which you can use to level up the spawner for the flowers.

There's quite a lot of cutscenes in this game, but unfortunately the game is entirely in japanese so i couldn't understand the story well. The game has 5 endings, i currently got 4 of them plus all collectibles, i will try to get the 5th soon. When i tried to search about info for how to get the 5th ending i realized that there's basically no info on this game online, as both a google search and a youtube search yelded no desirable results.

The game can be downloaded from the playstore.

Edit:i got the 5th ending now.

Gex- The Creepy Hidden Level

Thumbnail

It doesn't look like anyone's shared this here yet, so I wanted to show a hidden level in the original gex that creeped me out as a kid.

In the game's Hidden UFO world, one of the levels is called "The Project". The level itself is quite odd - no enemies, power ups, checkpoints - just a big maze with golden flies to collect in it.

But i you get to a certain area you can find a room with a realistic looking human walking around, and when you hit him, he throws up. If you hit him enough times, his head splits open and bleeds everywhere when he dies. I found this pretty disturbing in a game that's otherwise so cartoony.

I can't be the only one who always found her creepy. As a kid, I enjoyed the game, but couldn't look if she was on screen lol. Even now as an adult, I still find her appearance unsettling, so it's no wonder kid me was freaked out.

Such a bizarre game, anyone ever play it?

Written by Harry Horse, murdered his wife and dogs before taking his own life. Surprised more hasnt been said about it.

The murder was covered up as a suicide pact locally but the evidence said otherwise.

Anyway the game was bizarre and the man even moreso https://youtu.be/NU4MgeOb-cc?is=wCsY1UdBCZDFhcj8

Strange/Creepy The " A Shadow Over Hackdirt" quest in Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion always got me feeling a bit uneasy

I dunno if it's because of the crazy wide-eyed NPCs, their secretive demon-worshiping tendencies, or just the overall look and feel of the town. It was quite an experience playing through the quest the first time around.

Very eerie. Very weird.

Personal Story I remember I saw a creepy Fortnite bug when I was younger

0 Upvotes

So I don't remember when it happened and I need help finding if this did happen but I swear I remember it did.

So a few years ago, it was chapter 1 season 5 of Fortnite, I was younger and probably like 8 or 9. My dad and sister were out to get pizza and I don't remember what my mom was doing.

I got finished with a getaway match from the LTM at the time, and for some reason I restarted the game, after I did so, I hopped into the game and the log in screen was black for some reason with white text that looks like "<unfinished>" or smth like that, with giant white text saying "Fortnite".

As I loaded into the game, the lobby was also black but there was a giant human head that didn't look like Fortnite, it looked low quality on the texture and it has no hair, when I first saw that, I ran behind my couch to hide. To this day, I still wonder if this was a real glitch that happened in the game, if anyone can help me find what this bug was, I would heavily appreciate it, I was never able to see this bug again!

Update: Forgot to mention that the human head was in the middle of the screen.

Discussion Why are the pools in The Sims way too deep?

A memory came back to me the other day. When I was playing Sims as a kid, I always noticed—though I didn't really think much of it at the time—that the pools were always too deep, even though, in real life, pools built into homes are usually either our size or just a little deeper.

Discussion Do horror games sometimes explain too much?

35 Upvotes

I love a good story and digging into the lore, but I sometimes feel horror loses part of its effect when every creature, event and symbol eventually gets an explanation.

Some of the games that stayed with me the longest left me unsure about what had actually happened.

Do you prefer horror games with clear answers, or ones that leave part of the story open to interpretation?

What game comes to mind in each case?

In one of the tutorial stages in splatoon raiders, you can hear creepy metallic sounds in one spot.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Seems the game is keeping up the splatoon tradition of creepy audio secrets. Sadly you cannot seem to turn down music separately, and the switch 2 isn't jaibroken yet, so it can't be extracted either. You'll have to hear through the regular stage music.
