Some years ago I did a thread for Halloween that dealt with our scariest video game characters/monsters but the catch was we were limited to one and only one choice for that thing. So I'm doing it again but we're dealing with the scariest places in video games. So the question is what's the scariest place for you in video games? REMEMBER YOU CAN ONLY MAKE ONE CHOICE AND NO MORE. The place in general can't be like an entire city or forest (way to big,) but like a particular area of the place like a building or street or even a room.
I'm going for something more recent I've been to which is in Endless Ocean. The Abyss can be pretty scary or nerve racking. I sometime find aquariums and underwater stuff to be rather creepy. The Abyss is a prime example. W ether above or in it, its scary. Swimming above this place is scary cause I feel that something huge might come out of the place even though that doesn't happen in the game. Looking into it is also the same somewhat. As for being in it. I don't know how many times I looked around and the camera moves to show a whale close by and scares the shit out of me. I literally screamed every time.

The nightmare version of Brookhaven hospital in Silent Hill 3 is one of the most intense environments in horror gaming history.

Endless Ocean. The Abyss can be pretty scary or nerve racking. I've beaten that game, and you're right, the Abyss is something else. Sinking ever deeper down into that pit of nothingness never knowing what will pierce out of the shadows. For me, the abandoned town outside the cathedral in Thief: The Dark Project was rather terrifying. |

It's not really a horror game... like at all, but there's something about every single location in The Stanley Parable that really truly freaks me out. That game is absolutely scary as hell.

I really liked the environment in System Shock 2, which did a pretty good job of creating a believable space that people would live in.

Threed always creeped me out. I loaded up a save file on the rental copy of EarthBound I got when I was ten and wandered in front of the Boogie Tent by accident and it scared the crap out of me.

When I was a kid, the Windfish egg scared the hell out of me. Music didn't help.
Now, of course, this is nothing to compared to the rust world of Silent Hill. Its horror lies in its endless corridors and non-euclidian nature, i.e. you cannot really control where you are going. So not sure if that counts as one single place? I'd pick the Hospital and that weird rusty staircase towards the middle of the game (in the open world I think?) as the worst places among hell. But it's all just different shades of unbearable.

Absolutely, I always got a sinking (pun intented) feeling in the stomach when diving down there, even knowing full well nothing in this game is allowed to harm you. |

Max Payne nightmare level are very creepy. Mostly by that part where you must travel very tight blood trail.
Just one slight mistake and you going into bottomless pit.

The school in Corpse Party: Blood Covered (and its VN sequel). Unlike majority of other horror games (which offer at least some kind of hope), CP:BC doubles down on creating the "well, we're f#cked" effect - here, we have a cursed building filled with traps and children corpses, without any ways to escape, no food, water is poisoned, and if you die, not only do you turn into a ghost doomed to spend eternity with all the pain you felt seconds before death remaining with you forever, but you'll also get unpersoned from the face of the Earth. The game itself for the most part is less about "Escaping the situation" and more about "Finding if there's even a way to escape at all", which solidifies this particular location as the one where you really don't want to be. Of all the spoopy-crappy places you can get in history of medium, this is probably the spoopiest and crappiest.    |

Levels 7 and 8 (they have the same theme) in Hocus Pocus Episode 1 are literally the only time I've ever been scared by a game. It still weirds me out a little. I have no idea why. I had nightmares for months.

I had nightmares for months. Those two levels look like something straight from some creepypasta - they're just so surreal and unnerving. |
