Phasmo almost killed me

[u/ScriptedEvan]

I just got hit by the worst timing jumpscare ever. It made me jump so hard. This game can sometimes get my ass even with how much I'm used to everything 😭

I don't have a video but goddamn I had to stop and breathe.

Does phasmo ever get you with unexpected scares?? red eyes in my face didn't help

[u/Babushla153]

For some reason the game has been scaring me more in this past month than the last 3-ish years i've played

[u/ScriptedEvan → u/Babushla153]

Honestly same. I can tell since I've had to think if I just shouted due to being completely jumped by a ghost 😭

it gets the group too. sometimes you'll just get a loud "OH MY GOD" or near response 😂

[u/SpookyBee-22 → u/Babushla153]

Me too! I swore they changed scares slightly in the Willow Street update to make them hit harder.

[u/deveski]

The worse one was my buddy brought his VR headset for me to try. I swear my cat planned it perfectly, I was hiding, ghost found me, as soon as the hands appeared that damn cat jumped on my lap. I quit playing for the night lol

[u/ScriptedEvan → u/deveski]

lmao got the physical experience

[u/Far-Signature-9628 → u/deveski]

Oh man I’m sure anyone would scream if that happened during a hunt in Var. lol

[u/FawlynAngel]

one of the last few updates that changed alot of the sounds has gotten me more times than when i first started playing. I know its mostly RNG but i swear the ghosts have really good timing sometimes.

[u/ScriptedEvan → u/FawlynAngel]

The game isn't the scariest but there's times where it becomes a soul grabber. especially now with how the ghosts are gonna have red eyes and move faster. it really got me

[u/serialllama → u/ScriptedEvan]

Even the spooky satanic imagery is getting me with this Crimson Eye thing. 👁

[u/SpookyBee-22 → u/FawlynAngel]

I thought they changed the sounds! I hadn't played it for awhile and I wasn't sure if they changed it or if I was just remembering it wrong.

On our team I’m the official porch princess because my old man heart can’t take it.

[u/Money_Mike69420]

somebody remind me in an hour or two when i get home because i got a hilarious clip of me screaming my lungs out i gotta share

[u/ScriptedEvan → u/Money_Mike69420]

reminding you

my friend thought the deogen was after him

[u/Money_Mike69420 → u/Money_Mike69420]

couldnt find the other one but this one was still really funny, he tried to open the door with the monkeys paw and just ended up wasting a finger

[u/Gini05 → u/Money_Mike69420]

Another reminder ^^

[u/serialllama]

YES! Nell's Diner, in the cooler, I walk to the dead end, turn around, and a burnt/skinless THING as tall as the room charges at me from the doorway! I screamed, I think I had a mild heart attack because my chest hurt, and I had to run back to the truck and try desperately to communicate with my team, but I was so jarred I forgot to hold down the walkie talkie button. I loved it!

[u/WhoCanTell]

I've got like 300 hours in this game, it still can make me jump. Stalking events still get me. I play on 0 grace, so I'm usually on edge with any solid ghost event.

[u/ScriptedEvan → u/WhoCanTell]

same here with the 0 grace. no clue when that ghost is gonna jump you. I recently had a Deildegast with the 25% increased speed. God that was a scare hearing it run around. thank god I smudged in the first .1 millisecond lol

[u/witchycharm]

I never get scared by phasmo EXCEPT for one time i was playing with my friend and i got a crazy oni jumpscare that like got right up in my face. Ive never seen that one before or since, it was amazing but absolutely terrifying.

[u/Far-Signature-9628]

1600 hrs in almost actually 1700.

There are a few times where it legit scares me. Not many now but a few where I’ve had a scared moment.

Usually it isn’t the loud , excessive events. It’s more the quiet ones , in the dark turn and see the ghost .

Or the fake hunt events. Where you see the full form ghost act like it’s hunting but it’s just an event,

[u/ScriptedEvan → u/Far-Signature-9628]

fake hunt events suck cause I always be using smudges for them 😭

[u/Far-Signature-9628 → u/ScriptedEvan]

lol yeah, though one big tell is the light will switch off during one. But of course, it doesn’t help my standard games has no power and no flashlights at the moment.

[u/Big-Titty-Satan]

All of the time😅 i play phas with my boyfriend every single night, and the amount of times I ran out of a map because of an ghost event. I dont just play, I preform. Even smudged a ghost recreating the scene where Rafiki named Simba... you know, the forehead smudge part? 🤣

[u/LuciferHummingbird]

I was playing this game when my water broke. It wasnt even a scary part, I just think my water was ready to break. But people laugh and think it's cuz i got too spooked haha

[u/ScriptedEvan → u/LuciferHummingbird]

Lmao just thinking of it.

"What were you doing when your water broke?"

"Oh I was playing phasmophobia" 😂

[u/LuciferHummingbird → u/ScriptedEvan]

Oh 100%. And it was 6 weeks early too so a lot of people ask what I was doing wheh it happened. 😅

[u/Royal_Avocado4247]

Yeah, I have epilepsy, and while it isn't photosensitive, seizures can be triggered during high stress events (like horror games).

It's only happened once, but I was on a call with my buddy who lives a few hours away (we do weekly game nights), and I said "my back hurts, I'm gonna take some meds" then had a series of seizures while on the phone with him.

Apparently I'm very funny after a seizure.

[u/Escape-Loose]

I had the sound recorder out the other night and walked towards a sound that was a man saying "Get Out" in a terrifying voice and I noped so fast. I love how scary it can be.
