10 Video Game Areas That Scarred You For Life
2. The Basement - Calm Time
At risk of spoiling Calm Time for anyone who hasn't accidentally traumatised themselves playing it, entering the basement for the first time is one of the most jarring experiences a pixel game can throw at you.
That said, it's already thrown you for a loop, as this peaceful dinner party has been disturbed by you stabbing a woman with a knife. There isn't really any way to not do that, since you have to in order to continue the game.
You then head down to the basement to turn off the power, when you find it actually already has an inhabitant. A captive inhabitant, too, as what appears to be a women in a long white dress is chained up - just in case you stabbing someone didn't make it clear enough that you'd be the villain of this one.
After you turn the lights off, it becomes clear this woman is dead, because her ghost comes and tries to stop you from murdering all the other unfortunates currently trapped in your house. The worst part? The white dress implies she was, in fact, your wife.
