8 Horror Video Games That Broke The 4th Wall

3. SCP Containment Breach

A quick way to test if someone has had a trouser browning moment while playing SCP Containment Breach is by checking their eyes when you mention its name. If you can hear the sound of their body producing emergency moisture then ding ding, you have a winner, as blinking in this game is basically an invitation for a heart attack.

This is because not only will the "horrifying potato baby who will eat your soul" that is the poster child for this game rip you limb from limb should you blink and allow it to teleport close enough to you, but even if you try and take a short break to catch your breath or phone an ambulance, the game will mock you for it.

Not the character. The player. As if you decide to try and pause the game while being chased by one of the SCP the game will display a message reading "Stop Hiding" and sometimes, as a real boot to the pride, UNPAUSE the game for you.

Cheers mate. Just what I needed.
