    It's still amazing that Garry's Mod is more terrifying for me than other horror games because this game isn't supposed to scare us but is able to do so only with its base engine, maps, and overall ambiance. Jumpscares and creepy easter eggs are just additional ways to scare us.

      yeah same. i think the people who experience this kinda don't really share the same perspective i do.
      obviously there's nothing there. but for me i find that while many people think the nothingness is a characteristic of the map or whatever, i think of it differently. i'm essentially making my own experience. the map feels lonely because you haven't really populated it and given it that life.
      like obviously if there's nothing it's gonna feel lonely. but once you put down some NPC spawners and have them go to war with eachother and whatnot it's really not.

      ​@@bing_crilling8981To be fair it also depends of the maps. Like I don't feel that in tf2 maps and such, but bigcity is the best example as a "creepy" place in the way that you're alone and you know it, but the sounds (without seeing the source of these sounds) make you feel oppressed, like watched or something... Adding even one npc is instantly reassuring tho

    I think the main reason we get uncomfortable in this game is because of 2 things:
    1.) When our environment goes silent for seemingly no reason, that's usually because there is a predator nearby, which is why many of us find silence freaky and why we tend to copy that silence so as to not draw attention to ourselves.
    In fact, this paranoia is the reason many of us like to keep TVs/Music on when doing other things.
    2.) We're social creatures that are extremely vulnerable to attack from predators when away from our group. We're easy pickings without buddies and our subconscious knows it, causing us to get paranoid and jumpy since our only option when attacked alone is to run and hope that whatever is trying to make you its dinner is slower than you.
    We literally have little to no natural defense against predators.

  • @TheBombyExtra
    @TheBombyExtra 3 года назад +626

    I think one of the reasons Gmod is so creepy is the lack of music. Minecraft doesn't have this same amount of creepyness because the constant music playing in the backround (most of which is made to be calming) Gmod however, doesn't have a soundtrack. (Not in the vanilla game at least) So it gives off this vibe of emptiness. Which can certaintly creep you out if your playing late at night

Cause your own mind works against you in every possible way. You make it far worse than it ever could be on its own.

    0:29 Well, the scary thing about that is the paradox between what you hear and what you can see. This is an empty town with no life and no movement in sight, it's just you. While the background sound and the many huge seemingly intact houses tell you the opposite, that there is actually a lot going on. It creates a feeling of loneliness, in a place where it shouldn't be like that in the first place, and this is where the scare factor comes from, along with the sound itself, as you already explained.

    Its a combination of being alone and the pang of nostalgia that becomes more bittersweet the older you get. I remember first playing it when I started high school, that was 15 years ago. The creepiest part for me is having thoughts of how much time has gone by, how much time I've wasted, friends I no longer talk to who I used to play Gmod with and a bunch of other feelings. I suppose it feeds into the fact that Gmod at its core, including classic maps, haven't changed after all this time but so much has changed in my own life. It's scary to me for those reasons.

    honestly the creepiest thing that happened to me on gmod is i was doing an npc war where poison zombies were coming out of the dark room attacking rebels, i was on top of the building attacking from above when the zombies prepared to throw. i was like “oh they cant get me” but then i get attacked by a poison headcrab that flew up to me

    spawn as many op npcs at once
    turn on god mode
    and use the strongest gun you have in the game
    now your safe from gmod scary figures

    It's called an liminal space, when something that once had a purpose and was designed by people is abandoned. This is cuz our brain is already used to locations like these to have ppl, and is confused. It's like a school before any students arrive, of an empty ikea, or a garry's mod map, or an flat minecraft world.

    This creepy feeling is called a ‘limimal feeling’. It’s the off putting feeling of expecting a space to be filled with other beings but that space is empty. It’s like the really off feeling you get when you’re at school at night, or from abandoned places.

    I've always found Gmod maps alone so relaxing, some people think its scary I think its just so relaxing, there always used to be people everywhere in them talking, living, etc, and without it, it almost feels better. Even though in the maps its all controlled chaos and I also feel the same way when there is no one in it, it reminds me of controlled chaos knowing people used to thrive there and still do. I also don't feel lonely at all, I almost feel like everyone is still there even though there not, remembering all of the friends I've made over the years on a map, going to the places where we use to base and buy just a bunch of money printers, it all makes me so happy being able to remember that. Feeling content while alone in a darkrp maps is the most odd feeling but it never feels scary, I guess being alone has never really scared me before.

    It's the concept of Liminal Spaces. Being alone in an area where it feels like something should be there or feels familiar. Playing with friends changes the mood a lot, but being alone sometimes makes you feel like you aren't alone
