10 Most Terrifying Horror Game Locations
9. Titan Elementary School - Dead Space 2
There's certainly no shortage of truly terrifying areas to be found in the Dead Space series - or at least in the first two entries - but if you had to single out the one that freaked players out the most, it'd definitely have to be Titan Elementary School.
Given that these are games are a constant barrage of white-knuckle enemy encounters and truly nauseating body horror, players could already feel the hairs on the back of their stand to attention upon coming across the seemingly wholesome-looking school.
Its brightly lit front door and child-friendly aesthetic are in stark contrast to everything else around it, making it feel that little bit more threatening. Upon stepping inside, everything seems completely innocuous, that's until you see a lady in an adjacent room beckoning over a deformed worm-like baby that proceeds to explode, filling the entire room with viscera.
Things don't get much better from there as you're quickly besieged by plenty of the nasty little buggers, who can cause you a great deal of damage if they explode when next to you. They go down with a single shot most of the time, but keeping them at bay will keep you constantly on edge.
