What game is too terrifying to finish for you? (kbin.social)

Mine is Silent Hill 3. Its subject matter revolves around the fears of a teenage girl, like death of a parent, puberty, unwanted pregnancy (with a demon fetus, no less), mirrors (THAT ROOM shivers), and stalkers. The atmosphere is so oppressive and I cant play the game without having something else playing in the background, its that horrifying. I managed to finish Silent Hill 2 last year, which was like conquering my own fears. One day, I'll finish SH3. One day.

Mine is SOMA. Not necessarily because anything about the gameplay is scary, moreso just because the ending is so... difficult, that it's painful.

I cleansed my SOMA trauma with The Talos Principle. Very similar themes but viewed through a hopeful lens.
