Disclaimer: I am assuming you wanted to be scared more by the games and have truly scary game experience. If not turn back now. These tips are not for the weak-hearted.

Tip 1: Dark Environment.

Making sure you are totally in the dark is the best advice I can give you. Being in the dark scares people whether they admit it or not. Combined with horror scenes. It’s sure to give you a scare you will not forget.

Play in a room with all the curtains & windows closed. It will Definitely increase the horror factor of horror games. Combined with other tips on the list you will get a scare you will never forget.

Tip 2: Play at night

Now, this one is obvious. All horror games were meant to be played in the night. You cannot play them during the day as it will take the fun away. If you really want to be scared play at night alone after 12.

That is sure to make you have nightmares. Horror Games are at their best after 12.

Make sure you try the rest of the tips to get the fear high you crave.

Tip 3: Headphones or High-end speakers

Now horror games are incomplete without headphones or high-end speakers. Even better if they have to surround sound. The ghost scream should be loud enough to make your legs wobble. Games like Outlast 2 are the best when played with headphones. The silence and death stalking can give your the scare high you need.

So play horror games with a good sound system with surround sound.

Tip 4: Raise the volume

Raise the volume when playing horror games. The ghost scream should be loud enough to scare the daylights out of you. The music and the sounds make the mood for horror. So make sure you turn up the volume. And play alone while you are at it.

Tip 5: Play Alone

If you are alone in the house playing a horror game at night with headphones on high volume trust me you will be scared. Being alone is especially scary because you feel that you are not really alone. So be prepared for some goosebumps.
