10 Most Terrifying Areas In Non-Horror Games

10. The Abandoned Shack - Skyrim

With the vast majority of Skyrim being the vast open wilderness - or, at worst, a surprisingly spacious cave - the Abandoned Shack stand out as a particularly weird site.

A lone house in the middle of the open wilderness, the weird vibes you immediately get about this area are only made worse by the way you're introduced to it.

Because you will almost definitely first find this area by being kidnapped whilst you're asleep, and brought to the building with zero idea of what is going on. Then you're shown three blindfolded captives, and told one has a contract on them - and you must figure out which and kill them.

Only, you can kill literally any combination of them, and your kidnapper - the Dark Brotherhood member known as Astrid - will still applaud you for showing your proverbial fangs, and offering you a place on the team.

If you weren't trying to find the Brotherhood, however, it's undeniable that you're going to come out of this whole experience just a little bit traumatised.
