I don't generally like scary games. I still can't work up the nerve to
play System Shock 2 again. That game knew how to scare, not with
"gotcha" moments like Doom but with genuine, growing loneliness.

Maybe I didn't get far enough into SS2, but it didn't seem scary to me. It
didn't even seem like the type of game that *would* be scary, but I hear
that it is from many people.

If you're looking for things that jump out and go "boo!" then you won't
be scared. If you can appreciate the scary atmosphere in things like
H.P. Lovecraft stories then you will be scared by SS2.
