10 Video Games That Made Boring Things TERRIFYING
7. Five Nights At Freddy - Working A Night Shift
Anyone who has worked night-shift security will be able to tell you that the tedium sets in remarkably quick. You sit and watch a series of CCTV cameras trying not to fall asleep, with the most exciting proposition probably being a drunk person stumbling into the building and you having to point them out.
At best you may see a raccoon run across the floor, so a game completely set around this concept does not scream engaging. Not only are you on a security shift in FNAF, but you're also working it in an abandoned building.
The way the game makes this terrifying is filling that abandoned building with living animatronics out to kill you. Now you won't be half-heartedly scanning the screens looking for a flicker of movement, your eyes are permanently fixed on the evil Chucky Cheese mascots to follow their tracks.
You're also given limited battery, meaning you need to manage how you hold off these freaky animal friends less you be left completely defenseless and ripe for being chomped into. The villains stare into the cameras eerily and you can catch slight glimpses of them running towards you which is all the scarier.
Never has security detail been this frightening.
