10 Biggest WTF Moments In Recent Video Games
2. All The Jumpscares - At Dead Of Night
At Dead of Night centres around a student called Maya, who's trapped in a hotel with a lunatic called Jimmy. While making her away around the building, Maya's mission is constantly interrupted by a deluge of jump-scares.
These bone-chilling moments are terrifying because the players never know what's going to lunge at them next. While walking down the stairs, the lights can flicker, causing a bloody corpse to momentarily appear on the steps. At any given moment, Jimmy can pop out and lop off our heroine's head. As Maya enters a new room, she might suddenly encounter a shrieking girl, holding a burning teddy.
Even though Five Nights at Freddy's set the precipice for jump-scare horror games, fans quickly knew what to expect. Gamers aren't sure when the "BOO!" moment will happen, but they know it'll always involve a creepy animatronic.
But At Dead of Night is far more nerve-racking, since players haven't an inkling what's going to jump out. And since the game primarily uses FMV footage, it's makes the whole experience more realistic and therefore, more spine-tingling. No matter how many times gamers encounter a ghost or the deranged Jimmy, it's just as petrifying as the first time it happened.
