10 Scariest Video Game Moments Of The Generation

6. Meeting Terry Akers - SOMA

Scariest Moments Of The Generation
Frictional Games

SOMA is a game that takes no prisoners.

It's challenging when it comes to its survival horror puzzles and even more so when you're trying to outrun the absolute nasties that make up this game's rogues gallery.

However one lumpy lad stands above all others in this title, and that's Terry Akers. This monster of a man stalks you throughout your time with SOMA and it is never any less terrifying each and every time. Possibly one of the worst is when you're trying to break into an office by throwing objects at a fractured window and he suddenly starts wailing in the distance.

The sound design for Terry is something else, spine-chilling, aggressive, but also pained and pathetic. All of this mixes to provide a jump scare for the ages, and then an elongated terror-drenched setpiece where you must continue sneaking around while still figuring out how to break in.
