This has to be the most unique horror game I’ve seen yet. It’s a secret virus.

IMSCARED is a pixelated horror game that intentionally messes with your head and puts files on your desktop. It’s a unique take on “retro style” horror games. This one intentionally acts like a virus to spook you. So much so that it sometimes IS detected as a virus.

Again, Messing with files, arent totally new, but its a good Horror.
The only other game I can think of that put files on your PC is Doki Doki Literature Club
Other games put files on your computer, off the top of my head there's OneShot, Doki Doki Literature Club, and Masochisia, but I think IMSCARED did it around the same time as those anyway.
i want to make a game that doesnt jumpscare you until a while later when usually you arent scared anymore since nothing happened but in that time give really fun puzzles but it still has that creepy ambience
The villain reminds me of the Terminis Nextbot
I think another game that did this was ONESHOT, it wasnt a horror game, but it did constant fourth wall breaks, and really messed with your mind, apart from a couple youtube videos on it, it went below the radar unfortunately.
I like how they used the scary sans creepypasta from roblox lol. I think it is from roblox

First time I've seen this guy NOT be emotionless
some games do this like ddlc, oneshot, etc
IMSCARED: WHY DID I STUMBLE OF ON IMSCARED P■RN
The creator of the game could put an actual virus in the game and people would probably not notice because they thought that the warnings they got are for the fake virus lol
16:38 bro.. that is almost the same exact time im watching this video, im watching it at 14 : 58, and it says 14 : 33, that got me real bad
have you seen from the darkness? its a great horror game that keeps tension very high even in downtimes and makes you cautious of every action and fearful of everything
Bro is calm while scared at the same time 💀
if youre looking for another game that sends chills down your spine throughout the whole day you should try fear & hunger, its very hard but terrifying
Pretty sure we are more scared of pixelish depictions of monsters more than actually detailed ones due to how our mind tries to imagine how must the monster truly look like, but yet we cant for that would be a fan interpretation, and would just be a thought of yours, not an "official" one. Maybe its just me though
When you find more out-of-the-box games, this kind of stops being minblowing and you begin to question why isn't it more common. Probably because it's not convinient to not have everything in the same window.
Games are software, so they naturally have a near-full access to the computer when you open them. If a game can create and read saves, it has full interactivity with the file system. More clever tricks would be changing your wallpaper, detecting what your mouse is pointing at or playing audio despite the window being closed. Which are actually basic functions and technically the process of showing animations in a window is more complicated.
I wish for more games like these, but once you start expecting anything unusual, the horror of "fake viruses" and "meta villains" goes away because you can tell everything is going as designed.
Doki Doki does this kind of things too that's what make games like this so good

have you heard about oneshot?
4:37 Well clearly you haven’t played DDLC (Doki Doki Literature Club). The most clever and most terrifying horror game you’ll probably ever play. Please try it. It will seem innocent in the beginning, but you’ll slowly start to notice things, and then it’ll go downhill from there. Please check the game files often if you play.
niko oneshot as a horror game real
