Honestly, Minecraft.
Everyone remembers the moment they first realized nighttime and darkness is unsafe.
And as the years go on, more and more lore and items and events have been added that makes the game even more unsettling when you stop to think about them.
The first time you heard that sssssSSSSSSBOOM right behind branded every player with an eternal fear.
Also, shoutout to the moment they added fire spread. Way back in ye olde alpha days, you’d just randomly set stuff on fire to keep monsters out. Then fire spread suddenly made this dangerous and the world feel a whole lot more risky.
makes the game even more unsettling when you stop to think about them
respectfully disagree. I ive recently been playing a Minecraft version 1.5 mod and omg it’s so much more eerie than modern versions. It doesn’t help that torches burn out after a while lol
Cuphead? Idk if it’s quite “cutesy” but with all the old-timey graphics it doesn’t strike me as something that should’ve been so tough
100%-ing that shit during lockdown was one of the hardest gaming feats I’ve ever accomplished. Next lockdown is going to be the DLC.
Kirby. The only note on its official age rating is “fear”
I guess I’ll start us off with Undertale… In my view the defining game of this genre

Cult of the Lamb
Doki Doki Literature Club comes to mind
Stray
You play as a cat in a post-apocalyptic world where human already extinct.
It Takes Two
The Binding of Issac.
Digimon World for ps1 seems cute at first, but then becomes nightmare fuel in a lot of places.
I was exposed to the third Digimon World game when I was little, and not only does it get a lot harder quickly, but it’s a navigational nightmare to actually physically get to the final boss.
one shot, Celeste, A Hat In Time, Castle Crashers, kingdom hearts, goat simulator (fun fact it recently got a remaster!), hollow knight, rain world
Doki Doki literature club. I watched it being streamed for a bit. I thought it was just a dumb Japanese school girl high school drama game then suddenly one of the girls offed herself. Was not expecting that.
Celeste is pretty cute but can get quite difficult if you try to complete everything.
Eternal Sonata
Kena: Bridge of Spirits
