Yelling into a pillow: Resident Evil 7: Biohazard
All Resident Evil games freak me out to different degrees and in different ways, but first-person horror Biohazard panicked me uniquely, like a pill melting open in my stomach.
Small moments are spotlighted in my memory. Sitting down at a dirty green dinner table as protagonist Ethan Winters. Starting into the grinning, disfigured faces of the decaying Baker family. Plates topped with mold. The game can be so gross. And though I usually think of Ethan as a swoopy-haired idiot, in first person, I could empathize with him. I could understand how he felt, being captive and alone.
