After playing my dad's old copy of RE4, I realize that I want to play some horror games that are actually scary. I'm not sure if my mom cares about ratings, but if so, can anyone tell some good non-M rated horror games? I already have Enemy Zero and I'm seeking out D and RE: Gaiden.

Lower your font size to "normal", please.

Echo Night Beyond on PS2 is rated "T". It is a first-person adventure game that I found to be genuinely creepy.

There are many other games I'd recommend but, as a general rule, horror titles are going to be rated "M" due to the content of the games.

The text looked to smaller than everyone else and after putting it on large the font size looked normal. Weird.

Clock Tower for the SNES is fully translated and easily emulated.

Slender is all the rage right now:

It doesn't have a rating, but I've never encountered anything in it that would push it into the M range, though it is quite scary. Plus, it's a free download.

yeah I guess it has no rating? I checked my PS1 re-release (Clock Tower: First Fear) and there's no rating visible on that either. Hmm.

All the other games in the series are M, though.

The first Fatal Frame is rated T.

That's my #1 recommendation. Aside from being rated T, it's great and has plenty of super-scary stuff.

I haven't played them but the old Alone in the Dark games look like they would be good picks. And you can easily get the first three from GOG.

Third'ing

The amazing thing is that it's actually scarier and more intense than its M-rated sequel. (The sequel's a better game overall though)

Echo Night: Beyond
Scratches (Prepare to soil your pants with this one)
Dark Fall
Dark Fall II: Lights Out
Fatal Frame
Ghosthunter
Fragile Dreams

Enjoy your nightmares!
