10 Gaming Jump Scares That Freaked You Out For NO REASON
Was that REALLY necessary?
Jump scares are the bread and butter of horror video games, given that they're an easy way to terrify players totally out of nowhere, even if they also tend to be rather on the cheap side.
But jump scares aren't solely confined the horror genre, and every so often a totally unexpected game will ambush players with a fright they could've never possibly seen coming.
These games, regardless of genre, all left players nervous wrecks after a pant-filling jump scare came from a most unexpected place.
And so, everyone spent the rest of these games totally on edge waiting for something else to pop out and frighten the living Bajesus out of them. In most cases, thankfully, this was the single jump scare on offer.
For no clear reason other than the devs wanting to toy with unsuspecting players, these games served up pulse-quickening jump scares that nobody saw coming.
Needless to say, if you've got a heart condition or are of a nervous disposition, stay well away from these 10 games...
