Not strictly a game, but an experiment about fear. SCP-087 is based on creepypasta that has been making its rounds on the internet recently, and boy does it deliver.
There is no real objective other than to descend down a dark, creepy staircase. What's so scary about that? That's just it, there are no hints, no clues as to what's in the dark; your mind is making all the magic happen with a a few stimuli. It really shows just how powerful the brain can be at creating fear in what we cannot see.
The sounds build slowly and forebodingly, the shadows dash across the walls as if real, and the phrase "nope" is added to this in vast quantities; I cannot express just how scary this game is when played in the dark with a good pair of headphones on. There are all kinds of creepy noises coming from all sides of you, including a slow building throaty ambiance, footsteps, slow trudging ones and frantic tapping behind you. What you don't see coming towards you on the stairs all adds to a terrifying experience that I would recommend to any person eager to test their limits of just how far they will descend.
Just don't stop.
