Scariest Moment

Mine was at the start, I didn't know anything about the game so after the four people your with when trying to open a gate get killed, I was like "What the hell?!" But the bit that...(and this is gonna make you laugh)... the bit that BROKE MY MOUSE, was when your walking towards a slightly open roof door or something, and see a man walk past, which freaked me out, but then I open the door and walk out which is when Paxton Fettle lunges at you with a plank of wood or something! He just came out of no where, scared the hell outta me, had my speakers on loud sitting in the dark, made me jump so bad, I clenched my hand, still holding my mouse it went up with me and I slammed it back down on the desk braking it lol!

Apart from that, the only other bits that would scare me like that is about EVERY time Alma would appear or I heard a little girl laughing/crying... Little girl ghosts really creep me out *looks around the room quickly with shifty eyes*

For me the scariest part is right after you shut off the fire alarm, and then you hear the evil radio stuff, and then BOOM alma pops up outside the window. At first me and my friend were laughing at how she was just standing there,but then i killed my self a few minutes later, and had to go back to the fire alarm stuff, i was looking right at her when i left the little room, and i saw her walking right. toward.me.,and for some weird reason me and my friend both almost crapped ourselves at that. I guess it was how she moves that did it. But the part with her in the vents made me empty about a mag of shotgun ammo before i finally realized it was a vision. Also, later, we were playing when, out of the corner of my eye, i saw a girl with dark hair and a red shirt run past my window. After the customary pants crapping, we found out it was my neighbor going across my yard. And there is an uncanny resemblance.........

THIS..... IS..........CAKETOWN!!!!

I wasn't bothered by anything that was intentionally scary.

Almost had a heart attack when I unknowingly kicked over a soda can though...

I'm just a peckerwood who lives in the hills with too many guns.

Honestly the scariest bit for me was right near the end. You've just started encountering those phantom things and you come to the catwalk that overlooks that empty space lit by the moon.

Now, I already didn't want to go down there cause I knew something bad was gonna happen, but since my shotgun key (as always) didn't work on the door at the other end of the catwalk, I jumped down anyway. Then those phantoms came out at me in a horde.

Now that part itself wasn't all that bad, I was expecting that. What I 'did not' expect was when you kill the last one and the friggin' skylights explode inward.

Yeah, that caused me to yell out, I almost fell out of the chair. xD

remember when you're on the catwalk and when you get on the ladder, you suddenly realize alma was standing a couple feet behind you...?

... yeah, at that exact moment, my entire block lost power. my computer and the street lights outside my window turned off, and even the air conditioning shut down. i found myself sitting in complete darkness and silence.
after a couple moments, i heard a scream come through my wall. i guess my neighbor must have hurt himself stumbling through the dark.
it was rather horrific. i had a very uneasy feeling going to sleep that night.

In the ending part the mouse was "jumping" and we somehow lost orientation, turned around and had the biggest close-up of angry Alma attacking us from behind...I jumped and rolled backwards with my office chair, screaming. My mate didn't shoot at her either, he was too busy laughing at me...

But the really scary part was that room with the radio playing non stop crazy J-Pop...and when you finally leave the hysterical singing follows you, softly interweaved in the background sounds. Whoa!

Suicide is the most sincere form of self-criticism.

The scariest moment for me was when I'd been playing for 2 hours and the game crashed and I realised I hadn't saved.

Other honourable mentions are, Alma doing the crab walk, Alma stood at the top of the ladder when you turn around to go down it, something crashing through the window in one of the corridors just as you turn to go down it and the first time you bump into those leather clad, ninja demons.

The random figures wandering about are unnerving at first too, kind of reminiscent of Amnesia: The Dark Descent, but once you get used to them they're nothing.
