In 6DAS, you ever have Sam let the Tall Man in before switching on the privacy screen?

I did that the first time I replayed it. Biggest "ohhhhhh shit" moment of the series, right there.

Huh? I just thought that she had to turn on the privacy screen... like you didn't have a choice to make her turn it on or off... the keycode was for the door where the Tall Man was right?

I think the most scary part for me was the random hallucination in TN where you turn into the Welder for about 5 seconds. I screamed and was sure I was going to die.


I once had a weird bug, were this hallucination occured exactly the moment I entered Siobhans room. I suddenly stood there as John, right in Siobhans room and floated over to her (yeah, floated). Then, sitting down on the bed, I became Trilby again.

Oh, and at that Privacy Screen thing:
She does turn it on automatically, but it scares the crap out of you anyway. At least it should. I just did it on my second time trough, just to see what happens, and to my dismay discovered that Cabadath can't kill you there.

On the subject of scary stuff, I had a dream last night that Yahtzee had made a short movie about the family history of a character in an upcoming game, anyway when it finished the screen went blank for about five secconds and then the Tall Man appeared sans mask, and made this loud growling noise and then his eyes began to come closer and closer to the screen and then there was a big explosion.

And thats when I woke up 5DAS style. Took me ages to get back to sleep again.

Looking back it wasn't that scary, but dreams are like that.

Yer it's always like that, you shit yourself even when its not that scary. Although a few times when I was younger Id have some sort of creature (ravenous dog after me or something) and all I could do was scream for help, but I had no voice. That really got to me as a kid.

Heh, back when I was a precocious young scamp instead of the dashing, debonair rogue that I am now, I had a dream in which, in a spirit of scientific enquiry, I mused, "I wonder if <something-ation> really works..." where instead of 'something-ation' there was some impressive-sounding word with lots of syllables that I knew meant "being so scared you can't even make a sound". So naturally I went and found some horrible monster and discovered that yes, it did indeed work.

Then I woke up terrified and couldn't get back to sleep for ages.

5DAS never scared me. But in 7DAS the chase sequences and the room with corpses scared me as hell. Trilby's notes is scary most of the time. Specially when the Tall man shows up from nowhere to rip everyone apart. 6DAS doesn't scare, but makes you feel uneasy and confused.

Personally, what scared me the most every time was the very first moment where reality and the rules went to the trash can.

I played 5DAS soon after finishing Enclosure (Which is easily the creepiest adventure game I ever played and even if it ever get dethroned, it would still have the most creepy scene I ever saw in an adventure game), and I was only expecting an easy and more elaborated "escape from the mansion" kind of game, and was already wondering who was behind this mansion, Scoobi Doo style, until I saw the first nightmare, from that very moment until the fifth day, I was hiding under layers of bedsheet, in my fortress of pillow, with only an arm sticking out to use the mouse.

In 7DAS, it was when the coffin opened during the first nightmare. Discovering Adam's room come close second but at this moment it was too late and I was already in my bedsheets shell.

In TN, the begining of the game was very creepy, when you switch to the other world and when you explore the dark world's hotel for the first time. But you quickly find the pills and rules are build: everytime you take a pill, it's back to normality. I was slowly being at ease and removing some pillows, and then, the first hallucination "Holy crap! What was that?!? I can't make up what is real and what isn't anymore!!" now that scared me the most. But sadly this lasted only 20 minutes since while I was in the shower, trying to calm down, I remembered reading the warning on the pills and I quickly linked this to the hallucination and another rule was build. I felt uneasy for the rest of the game but nothing beat that very first moment.

In 6DAS it was the first nightmare, with the young John DeFoe.

Only the other week, I dreamed about being chased up the stairs by something, which then battered down my bedroom door, waking me up in horror. That "something" was a giant floating nose. Possibly with moustache.

Ah, the impenetrable pillow fort.

That certainly brings me back to the days of 7th Guest. Note to children: Don't play the 7th Guest when you don't even understand the concept of stealing people's souls.

5DAS- Dream in the bathroom
The picture of Ronderick DeFoe in day 4 or 5
7DAS- Torso in the vent, I think.
Chasing seqences
The doctor's room
TN-The Dark world
Illusions(including being as John DeFoe)
The woodcutter's death
6DAS-Sam's death
An some sort of EVP of Sam when you call her after her death.
The sex scene(So disturbing)
Jamine as welder
In day 5 as Malcom, when you walk down the stairs, sometimes he goes back up uncontrol, or you start over up there again. Its also scary when you see the flashbacks.

In 7DAS, my scariest moment was when Adam gets cut in two by the Welder in the nightmare.

The sex scene in 6DAS put across something else for me; a sense of deference into the inevitable. I think it's that point where you realize that there's no way to get out of this situation alive. But it's (somehow) all right. It just doesn't matter anymore. Anyone recall the very last panel in Max Payne 2's graphic novel? Exactly the same feeling.

Did you play through Max Payne 2 with the difficulty set to hard?
