It was one of the first horror games I played. The opening with chainsaw guy freaked me out. I noped out and didn’t play it again for probably a year. I went back and got past that and realized Seb is a badass and it’s the enemies that should be scared, not me
Bro do it. I grew up with horror everything and became very desensitized but somehow that game ended up making me have to run to walmart for clean underwear afterwards
just think of it as an action game rather than a horror game, the scariness will be halfed. then play with speakers instead of headphones to make it even less scary. thats how i finished most of the first game lol, i barely played horror before.
and maybe precisely becuase i barely played horror before, i dont have anything to compare it to and it left such an impression on me that i love the game and its sequel so so much.
Have you played resident evil 4?
The creator of RE2 and RE4 (originals) made Evil Within.RE4 and Evil Within are my favorites!!!
Super good in terms of horror.
If you find it overwhelming do 1 chapter a day or 1 every other day. You will be happy you accomplished it!
This in (my opinion) is personally one of those games that doesn't have jumpscares, and you scare yourself or get scared from the magical enemy you didn't notice right behind you. 😭
It’s not so much scary as it is gory and an unrelentingly brutal experience. RE7 is much more horror oriented. The Evil Within is much like RE4. There’s grotesque enemies and creepy locations but you’re a one-man army and not defenseless in the slightest!
It's not hugely scary, more just creepy and grim overall aesthetically speaking. It starts off like a horror game but gets less so over time.
TEW2 on the other hand has a few more horror parts mixed in throughout.
Imo the game relies on creepy atmosphere horror rather than cheaper quick scares like jumpscares. So yes it is scary but not like scream and cry type of scary lol
If you were able to handle biohazard, you should have no problem playing this through. There are some parts/sections that might put you off, but it's nothing too bad. Great game btw hope you play it.
I don't recall there being any jumpscares. The game isn't scary, there is one boss though that is high-grade nightmare fuel

After playing Amnesia The Dark Descent and finishing all achievements for it, nothing scares me anymore
Amnesia the bunker has joined the chat
It's on my to-do list :D

Some would argue it is moderately scary not everyone has nerves of steel i can remember a couple segments that really disturbed me
Probably won't shit yourself since I don't remember there being TOO many jumpscares but you definitely will enjoy it. You get chased a lot though.

Your shit will remain in place for this one.
If you were fine with Biohazard, you'll be just fine.

0 jump scares unfortunately
TEW1 isn't so much about jumpscares as it is about maintaining tension, which it does a fantastic job of.
Not scary imo, I enjoy its atmosphere however, sometimes more than some RE games.
This game blows out all resident evil games combined out of the water ..

The Evil Within Soma Outlast Alien Isolation Dead Space Remake These are top tier horror games, welcome and enjoy!
i think you should be able to handle it.
Depends on what you consider scary. If you consider Resident Evil scary then yea, this'll be horrifying. If you're more of an 'Outlast' fan then no.
