10 Exact Moments That Made You Scream In Horror Video Games

Detention is an utterly brilliant indie horror title that utilizes a mechanic of holding your breath in order to bypass the terrifying monsters that roam the corridors of the abandoned school you explore.

Thanks to its charming art style and close links to Taiwanese mythology, Detention never fails to keep the suspense high throughout its runtime. However, the moments in which you must come face to face with these will have you screaming your lungs out while ironically hoping your character can hold their breath.

In order to escape unscathed, you need to avoid eye contact with some enemies and hold a button to likewise hold your breath. This is obviously not something you can do forever and watching the enemies lean in to listen for the slightest gasp of air is genuinely one of the most terrifying things I've experienced.

Second only to mistiming the button press and witnessing the horrible execution that follows, something that will elicit a terrified yelp each and every time.
