What is the most emotionally scarring game you've ever played?

For me it would be Spec Ops The Line.

Life.

 

Haha, get it?

So many choices yet unfortunately I've yet to play a game with that effect, though the best I've got is Majora's Mask.

I think I'm going to go with Shadow Man for the N64. It's not really the scariest game in terms of content, but the fact that I played it when I was like 8 definitely played a big role in me being scared of it.

 

The only thing that really comes close to that would probably be EarthBound. I had heard the ending was really weird and that the tone of the game changed drastically, but even knowing that did not prepare me for when I actually played through it. It may not be that "scary", but it is definitely unsettling.

Monopoly I would probably have to say.

Silent Hill Shattered Memories is emotionally scarring for me in terms of horror. I have a huge fear of using only a flashlight in darkness, and I'm overall scared of the dark, and since there's monsters chasing you, it just all adds up to be too much for me. I know a lot of people don't like the newer Silent Hill games, but I thought Shattered Memories was certainly interesting, especially with the use of the Wii remote instead of a standard controller.

Dust: An Elysian Tail is an emotionally scarring game for me, the ending left me in tears, which no game has ever done. Halo 4 came close to it though.
