...let's take a look at the Creepiest Child in modern video games!

Of all the games featured in this list, Visage is the most outright terrifying. Developers SadSquare Studio are clearly aficionados of the horror genre, and Visage is their love letter to the form. As well as taking place in one of gaming's most memorable haunted houses, Visage also plays host to one of the medium's most terrifying spectres - Lucy, an amalgamation of corrupted innocence, body horror and homicidal fury.

Lucy is the star of Visage's opening chapter, and she sets the tone for the rest of the game perfectly. A constant, harrowing presence that stalks the player throughout the mansion's haunted halls, Visage's childish wraith is an exquisitely heartstopping introduction for the horrors to come.

Admittedly, Lucy's design is something of a cliché - her long hair and night gown certainly suggest she's been taking fashion tips from Sadako - but whenever she appears on screen such thoughts melt from your mind in pure terror. After all, it's hard to remain objective when the target of your criticism is attempting to rip your jaw off its hinges...
