So, i've played a lot of scary / horror / survival games. I absolutely love them. I think they're a lot of fun, and for some unspeakable reasons, I like the feeling of being terrified and helpless in a video game. There is a character that i've run into recently that really pulls it off to be one of the most terrifying characters i've run into in a video game. His name is Richard Trager. A bit of small info:

So you're probably going to ask me why I think he's terrifying. Well there's a few reasons:
1. The way he talks is so casual yet it's to the point that you know what he's saying is supposed to be more terrifying than it actually is. He'll give you nicknames like "buddy" and he'll try to talk to you as if you guys are equal, when his main goal is to hunt you down.
2. In the game (potential spoilers ahead) he gets you into a wheelchair and brings you to the exit of the asylum you are trying to get through, and you feel some hope as you get so close to the exit, but he pulls you away so quickly only to be met with more pain than you could possibly imagine.
The way he looks, talks, attacks, dresses, acts, everything. There's so much to him that just makes him one of the scariest characters i've run into that it's nearly impossible for me to put it into a few words, but I obviously have done that. If you haven't played Outlast for yourself, I strongly urge you to do so as the game is well worth a play through no matter what your threshold for scary games is.
