![]() ![]() It's laid out as a haunted mansion with gardens and stuff and on the upstairs floor you hear a ghostly girl (actually I think there might be a couple of them, I think they were sisters or something) crying and screaming and saying stuff like "If only we'd doused the lamps!" Because one windy night they didn't empty the oil out of the lamps and one blew over and set fire to the place, resulting in the girl(s) burning to death. Which meant that one particular part of the game Lands of Lore III was pretty scary for me - you go into a sort of "underworld" place where lots of ghosts and stuff live (the premise of the game is that it's a Fantasy world and some bad stuff has happened which has made all these rifts to other worlds open up and you have to go through each one into its world and try to close it). When I was a kid, one of the things I would sometimes worry about was that the house might someone set on fire while I was in bed, and then I'd be sitting there with smoke coming into my room and scary flames outside the door and stuff. Ohh wait, actually, I can think of a game that made me feel scared. But it's really a puzzle game with a scary house as the framing device, and the puzzles themselves aren't exactly terrifying (except for the maze, I suppose). I think it had a 15-certificate (don't think it was an 18) and yet I would've been maybe eleven or twelve when I played it (and my sister is a coupld of years younger than me and also played it). ![]() It was one of the first games we got on our first PC in the mid-90s after the Atari. I don't like scary games, though I've seen a few played through on YouTube (Outlast, Soma, the Five Nights ad Freddy's series). Never found the game "scary" or anything. The last couple of times I tried it I ended up getting stuck due to bugs for some reason, but the first playthrough back when the game came out went just fine (later run-throughs were with exactly the same game disc but via DOSBox rather than actual DOS). ![]()
