Dying in Notrium is pretty unnerving how it just's cuts to a picture of your animal eaten corpse the instant you drop to 0 hit points and to top it all off the "may you find peace in the afterlife that you never found on Notrium is just so maudlin.
Scariest way to die in a game.

For anyone who has played the game: good on you.
Who anyone who hasn't... It's free, a small 30MBs, pretty low required specs, and it's scary.
Just this. Fucking hell.
I dunno. Is there a game where you fall into a portapotty where evil possessed dolls slowly eat you alive while hundreds of bugs crawl all over your body?
Or just by falling off screen in the case of vertical scrolling sections. Damn I hate auto-scrolling.Shoggoth2588 said:
Devoured from within by The Pain's bullet bees, which were recently in his own body in MGS 3? Or chomped suddenly by a croc you didn't see?
Being grabbed by the regenerators or their pincushion cousins, the iron maidens in RE4?
Maybe when your flashlight dies in Ju-on: The Grudge?

I'm not sure if there was ever a game that included this situation, but to me it feels like the scariest way to go.
In a first person perspective, you are making your way through a dark labyrinth, with only your limited light source (torch or flashlight with power limitations) to allow visibility. You must find a few items which will allow you to get out of the labyrinth and progress to the next area. Suddenly, you hear strange noises. They sound like they are coming from a distance, but you cannot be sure of the source. As you continue to make your way, the noises continue, getting louder and louder, as if they are approaching you. Suddenly, you take a hit and your health diminishes a little, followed by the noises, taunting you. You try to illuminate what inflicted damage upon you, but it vanishes quickly before you are able to do so. As you begin to loose your light source, you notice that the damage continues, and realize that if you don't leave the labyrinth quickly, you will be surely overcome with these creatures and die. Sure enough, you lose your light source and the creatures swarm at you, as your health beings to rapidly diminish. You try to fend them off, but you are unable to see what you are fighting against and you quickly die.

I found some getting caught in games where you had to be stealthy was scarier. I mean not knowing if a guard is going to pop out around the corner or not gets your heart beating fast. Stupid greenmote thingy.
Aw, that really irritated me.Scarim Coral said:
Although it isn't a death scene, the first brush with a xenomorph when you wake up in the human campaign was a real heart pounder.
Really well done. All you have is your pistol, and you've no idea how strong this thing is going to be.

I hate that thing. All of those series scares the absolute piss out of me.
Scary game? This is the way to go. This IS the scariest game possibly ever created, dying is at times the scariest part, without the need for graphic details of your death.
I did not know this existed. Love SCP. The link says it's still in Alpha. How big is it going to get? Which SCPs are involved? AAAAGH! EXCITEMENT!
I haven't ever been made scared by dying in a game. However, I have had acrophobic reactions.
Half-Life 2, for example. Cliff-crawling and jumping across the underside of a bridge has scared the crap out of me. Because the movement keys don't care about how hard you hit them, so if you hold one for too long, down you go.

One of the advantages of a controller, you get to control your speed ;Ptemplar1138a said:
OT: Not many. Most games just have your character falling over or the camera falling over etc. Half life and mirrors edge did it a little better with the sound effects.
So i guess resi 4 and dead space, where the deaths are actually a little drawn out
Falling off of tall structures in Mirrors Edge is rather scary, and the sound of the wind rushing past coupled with the sudden blaring music helps create this feeling.
Some of the deaths in Dead Space really had me feeling a bit ill and rather sorry for Issac.

THIS, although it does not happen to you personally, many members of your crew can go through this process, horribly disturbing.Chester Rabbit said:
Also, any game where your character is transformed into something inhuman when you die, can't think of a game off the top of my head right now that does this.
