10 Most Paused Video Game Moments Ever

4. Lisa At The Window - P.T.

P.T. is full of completely terrifying moments that you just can't bring yourself to look away from. The short teaser prioritises scrutinising the environment, not even allowing you to proceed unless you follow some ridiculously complex puzzles hidden in the game's few rooms.

One thing you can rarely get a good look at though is Lisa, the ghost haunting you on your endless trips around the hallway. She pops up primarily for a jumpscare towards the beginning where you get a brief flash of her, but proceeds to haunt you from afar, either from the balcony above or with her face pressed up against the window.

It's the latter scenario which gives you the best look at the ghost though, allowing players to see just what's been spooking them for the past hour. Too scared to actually stand around and watch her twitch at the frame in fear of being caught out by a jump, the best idea was to nab a screenshot and keep walking.
