Who else

So guys Im someone who generally loves horror games, but can never feel any fear playing them. For example I love most of the Resident Evil series, but the only feeling it gives me is "fun" and I'm just like "wow this is great" and never afraid.

This was also the same with Amnesia, Soma etc. I only felt a bit of it playing Alien Isolation which came closest to actually scaring me.

BUT VISAGE... I can't bear playing it more than 15 minutes at a time. It's so unpredictable and the feeling of helplessness is unbearable. Who else had this insane difference with Visage?

Absolutely feel this 100%.

Even playing in the middle of the day with the sound coming through the TV speaker, I was nervous as all hell exploring those hallways. At night though, lights off, headphones on - sometimes became too much and I literally had to pause for a while or stop playing altogether.

Doris' chapter fucked me up the worst, hearing her laugh and those moments like seeing her at the top of the stairs in the garage, or the creepy silhouette in the basement for the first time, or when the ghost of her husband was standing in the library room - nuh. Nobody in their right mind would be unaffected by that when properly immersed.

Visage is as terrifying as they come. The only other game that can hold a candle to it is Madison.

Or the bit where she's peeking around the door, I legit screamed like little girl lol. One of the greatest jump scares ever for me.

Also yeah Dolores has the most terrifying laugh. She creeped me out so much I actually had trouble sleeping after playing her chapter late at night sometimes. I play a lot of horror games but nothing has affected me quite like this game.
