The only really scary part in Bloodlines is the Hotel, but it's still seriously worth playing.
If you want some good scares, though, I suggest you go play older games. Some of the old FMV adventure games like Phantasmagoria and the 7th Guest are highly recommended, in my mind. |

If you haven't played it already, go get Thief 1 the gold edition and Thief 2. Sometimes they come together in a pack. Should be bargain priced.
YOU WILL BE SCARED. Probably one of the most intense games you will play.

Can't say I did, it seems there are so many classics from that period tho I wonder how they'd play on a modern operating system..
Provided I can hunt some of them down it'd be well worth a shot going through them again. Is it just me or did some of those games have so much more atmosphere (not counting some classic acting ) than more recent games.

Yeah, no kidding, a lot of modern games are trying to coast by on a gimmick or pretty graphics(Looking at you, Prey, the Halo games and so many others.) rather than actual atmosphere and content.
Plus, I think the low graphical quality and such sometimes helped a bit. Players had to rely more on their own imagination to bring it all to life, it was more immersive, somewhere halfway between a book and a game. |

Eternal Darkness if you own a Gamecube. I haven't had the pleasure (or displeasure, depending on how you look at it) of playing it myself, as I haven't been able to find a copy.
Have you tried the other Silent Hill games? |
