I also keep thinking if this game pivoted to horror several hours in it would be the most terrifying game of all time. Just have someone suddenly appear at a window you're cleaning or be standing behind you when you turn around.

Well, not horror, but they do eventually get some weird mysticism elements in there...

I played all of Gone Home convinced that it was going to take a dark turn at any moment.

I am definitely going to need to play the Back to the Future DLC

A promotional image for the PowerWash Simulator Back to the Future DLC pack which has the two logos and the PowerWash guy standing next to the DeLorean time machine from the first movie.

There’s one recent indie horror game that pulls this trick during what is otherwise a pretty mundane if pleasant game, but if I named which one that would spoil the effect.

Perhaps… a GRIMDARK turn?

I was thinking the same thing when they had me cleaning the haunted house!

I have said this so many times. I've sat and watched my friend play this just to chill and can't stop thinking about how if you just saw like... A dark figure standing off in the tree line.... People have tried but it always comes out too goofy, because they don't get horror

Yes, exactly. Subtle stuff but just "What the f-?!"

I keep thinking the same about that 18 wheel truck driving game. Imagine if on a very lonely long stretch of road at night you see something horrifying pass by in the ditch or something, glowing eyes, illuminated only briefly by your headlights, no explanations, just completely random
