A good 'mindfuck' video game to play?

[theklng]

s.t.a.l.k.e.r, the first one. this game was so scary that at one point i had to put off playing it for three days. also i could only play it during daytime. the immersion sucks you in like a black hole, then it crushes your spirit and rapes your mind.

in short, it takes balls to play this game, and even bigger ones to complete it.

Spoiler: friendly advice

lab x18 is the biggest mindfuck of them all. don't say i didn't warn you.

Spoiler: real spoiler

there's a huge reinforced door once you get down to the lower level, and you can see that there's something behind it that is powerful enough to almost bang the door open (and the door is fucking heavy, it takes 30 seconds or so for it to open fully). you, of course, have to enter. but before that, you have to find the access code for the door. so you look around and find it, go back, open the door and brace yourself for the nastiest thing you have ever seen.

except, it's not there. there's nothing. the room behind is empty, yet seconds before the door was still being hit. my mind shat itself right there. the mind fuckery was complete.

also, there's that adventure game that takes place on greenland... it's pretty freaky as well, especially considering you don't have a fucking weapon.

Eversion Iff you are easily mind fucked (like me).

Enternel darkness is also a good source of mind fuckery

Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem (GCN)

Seconded. That's some crazy shit.

 

[Rajin Cajun]

Rapelay...crazy Japanese.

 

[Lord Beautiful]

Chrono Cross.

 

[plastic_window]

Eternal Darkness on the Gamecube. And Sanitarium for the PC.

 

[Apocalypse Tank]

Portal and Braid.

 

[Tattaglia]

Weird Dreams. Insanely hard game where you have gone into a coma on the operating table and just have to wake up.

The thing is...your nightmares are becoming real...and one touch from the Desert Fish, The Frozen Chicken, The Carnivorous Roses and dit...dit...deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Darkseed as well. Especially as it's based on H.R. Giger's art.

Wicked. Where you are the Forces of Light battling the Forces of Darkness across the Constellations with only the Tarot to help.

I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream.

Personal Nightmare, The HitchHikers Guide to the Galaxy, The Monty Python Game, Elvira 1/2, Waxworks...

Probably will think of more later.

Darkseed was... strange. You're right though, the artwork in that game was amazing.

Metal Gear Solid 2.

This sticks out in my mind. Although the whole series is a good bit of mind-fuckery for newbies

 

[new_age_reject]

Penumbra: Overture
I pooed my pants.

 

[Frank_Sinatra_]

The weird game where you play as a demented Alice in Wonderland and everything is insane. Forget the name of the game though.

It was Alice

Play the first Condemned

 

[SnowCold]

does 'I wanna be the guy' count?

 

[EzraPound]

The first DOOM. If that doesn't suffice, just watch 2001: A Space Odyssey on a plasma TV.

 

[Lord Of Cyberia]

The CHZO mythos games. Don't bother with the Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth, its just an FPS starring a man whose sanity has the strength of dry sauerkraut. The CHZO mythos is truly terrifying

 

[nathan-dts]

Metal Gear Solid. The second one alone will kill your brain. They straightened it out by the fourth one but. . . well you were not there for the years after the second one came out and even now there are people who are just lost. I mean it all does make sense but . . . you know what, just play the game, it will all make sense. (or not)

Edit: Don't skip to the fourth one. Play them in order.

No, mix up the order; the mind-fuckery will be more intense.

 

[jebussaves88]

Condemned series for scary mindfuck (and FEAR, even though I haven't played it yet) Max Payne 1 fucks with you during the nightmare sections. Oh, and Project Zero can kinda fuck with you, but it's debatable whether it's a "mindfuck".
American McGee's Alice is pretty odd to, but in a non scary way.

And then there's WarioWare

 

[Shurikens and Lightning]

LittlebigPlanet after you do heavy drinking.

 

[haaxist]

Yeah The Suffering was a pretty good one. Silent hill is pretty good too, but the movie messes with your mind more than the game since it completely deviates from the storyline.

Gregory Horror Show Soul Collector was also supposed to be good. I haven't actually played it but I've seen it played.

I saw a game on Newgrounds called "Alice is Dead-ep. 1". Total. Mind F. Sort of like that Alice game one guy mentioned, but more morbid and spooky then demented and wacky.
