I grew up in the 90s playing resident evil and silent hill on the playstation and dead space on the xbox 360. I love survival horror games. But I believe I can confidently say, that Outlast is the most terrifying game I've ever played. It's not just the story, it's the gameplay, the atmosphere, the sound effects and the music that is absolutely terrifying. Then the story adds to it and just messes with your mind. No weapons, it's all about stealth, but not too much surprisingly. It's pitch black dark unless you have batteries in your cam corder to keep the green night vision on. Then they can't see you and you can hide fairly well. But when they do find you, you're chased through rooms of the asylum, trying desperately and helplessly to find a place to hide, your character is breathing heavy and you can feel the terror that he is feeling! An incredibly atmospheric game! The story chase bits are really cool as well when you're running for your life! My new all time favourite horror game, can't wait to play the DLC and the second one!
