10 Disturbing Video Games You Can NEVER Play Alone
9. Lone Survivor
Considering this is just a bunch of pixels in vaguely scary shapes, you'd think it wouldn't be that world-endingly scary to be on a list like this. Thing is, dearest reader, that weird cross-stitch texture effect is but one of the things that makes Lone Survivor so unbelievably unnerving.
Murky, dark and rendered all the more inhuman from the lack of firm shape, Lone Survivor makes you traverse through a world as a nameless protagonist attempting to divide his hallucinations from reality.
Most in the city have been turned into monsters from a mysterious outbreak, and whilst our character might not be a creature just yet, he's still strange to a disturbing degree - questioning his own sanity repeatedly, talking to cats, and wondering through to otherworldly realms that hold strange men with boxes on their head.
It isn't the type of in your face horror that we often see in survival games, instead imposing a creepy atmosphere that imbues you with a sense of dread and worry at advancing too far forward. Just what you'll find and how you'll find it is part of the fear, stipulated with an eerie soundscape that will make you question just how much you NEED to go through the next door.
