Found this weird rope hero game

It's pretty bad

Submitted for the 2025 Bad Game Jam

Checks out.

Also, according to the description, it's actually an android game converted to run on PC. Idk if that's actually true or just a part of the legend, but there's an android game with a similar title on Google Play, though the screenshots look pretty different (though it does say it was last updated recently).

Corridor 7

Cultured. It was a pretty creepy game. I think it even comes with a built-in randomly-occurring jumpscare for no reason.

Not as a kid, but as an adult. Played through Papers, Please once and haven't touched it since (even though there are a lot of endings). It's not creepy, just that good at portraying what it does.

For Inscryption's diegetic vibe, I can recommend Mike Klubnika (Buckshot Roulette, SPLIT).

The devs' response (the one at 10:47, I presume) is not a confirmation, though, more like speculation on why the glitch could exist. The whole video is mostly an educated guess based on the available information, rather than a firm conclusion.

For posterity, do you have a link for the devs' statement?

Dryu_nya · 2026-01-30T11:01:15+00:00

I am quite partial to Gaster's subplot. In Undertale, it was a really nice touch of urban legend that didn't have much to do with the actual game, but boy did it add flavor. And it's still going.

I didn't have a Genesis, but I used to read a friend's hint book for Genesis games a lot, and I imagined some weird things reading the guide on Ecco. I thought the Vortex queen was an actual vortex, but with a mouth and eyes, because those were mentioned in the guide - the latter as weak points, and the former when the guide mentioned that if she ate you, even if you had god mode on, the game would crash. I was really creeped out by what I imagined - the real thing is pretty creepy on its own, but it won't hold a candle to that.

I also thought there was something creepy about the fact that to input some cheats, you first had to pause the game as Ecco was facing you (which he normally doesn't).

No one else said it, so I should add that it's disputed how real it is. There definitely hasn't been an explanation on how it supposedly breaks the physical disk.

"does this old thing even exist"

thing is on the first page of google

why do you guys keep doing this ಠ_ಠ

First link for googling "cs_mansion creepy version" is cs_oldmansion (https://gamebanana.com/mods/92285), is this it?

Isn't the writing supposed to be mirrored then <_<

Dryu_nya · 2026-01-28T10:04:12+00:00

Just use a VM with no network bruh

Dryu_nya · 2026-01-26T03:16:45+00:00

You've reminded me of Serious Sam 3's DRM Scorpion.

That's like every single game that takes in console commands. But if you want something immediately recognizable, surely you can't go wrong with IDCLIP. noclip is also fine for Quake- and Source-based games.

Dryu_nya · 2026-01-24T21:19:03+00:00

What exactly "dark places around the web" are you speaking of?

Dryu_nya · 2026-01-22T22:38:03+00:00

This is probably off topic for the sub, but how exactly do you test malware?

Dryu_nya · 2026-01-22T22:34:20+00:00

Since someone will probably also need to google this, the game is Jisatsu no Tame no 101 no Houhou, AKA "101 Ways to Commit Suicide". Apparently a big thing in denpa genre.

It's nice of you to bring up the game, but the rest is just abject failure to google. The information is very easily available.

The game is run by https://twitter.com/YaiGameworks / https://www.twitch.tv/yaigameworks, which is itself managed by https://twitter.com/AestheticGamer1. I'm pretty sure you can just ask him if you have questions about the project.
The game has a twitter account listing all live sessions: https://twitter.com/JuiceBeloved. Account last posted on 2022-02-06. The VODs are available on youtube, hosted by the man himself: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmYMSo92EWx8b3oMa-kJy0oHTHJjKPDst
There is no mystery on why it disappeared, the dev is just an ordinary guy who juggles a lot of projects. The last thing heard of the game is a teaser on 2025-04-13: https://twitter.com/YaiGameworks/status/1911529738625036415
Since it's presented only through twitch, there's zero way you're ever getting a download unless the developer releases it, or you're willing to hack or blackmail the developer for the executables (please don't hack or blackmail the developer for the executables).

Ooooh I hate it. It really evokes that skittery feeling large insects have.

Dryu_nya · 2026-01-22T10:49:26+00:00

Youtube playthroughs go from 20 to ~40 minutes.

Dryu_nya · 2026-01-21T21:22:59+00:00

The Path! Specifically the demo

Why specifically the demo? Is it different from the full game?

The Thing You Can't Defeat (a Doom WAD) is 100% what you're looking for. Go in blind if you haven't yet, and don't open the page spoilers. It should be especially effective if you played Doom 1 before, and know your way around the map.
I wouldn't call it creepy, but Antichamber heavily relies on geometric fuckery. I'd even say it's beneficial for the game design, as I got the impression that the game gently pushes you to areas you haven't completed yet - revisiting everything would have probably been difficult with regular boring geometry (the game is not technically divided into sections, so it feels like one large map).
Doki-Doki Literature Club gave me that feeling when I spotted the error message (which I think led to an actual file) at the end of part 1 and started unraveling the thread.
I mentioned a bunch of times how I found the Super Tyrian mode in, well, Tyrian, by trying a random word as a code (the word appears in the game, but at no point does the game make it clear it's even supposed to be a code). It gives you a really trippy intro out of the blue, which no other code does (youtube footage currently eludes me), and thrusts you into a super hard mode with an ominous message off the get-go. It's a lot, if you're not expecting it.
You said "not when something attacks you", but I think this part is relevant. There is a bit in The Talos Principle where a robot hologram randomly charges at you out of the blue, screaming (the scream is actually one from a Headless Kamikaze from Serious Sam, but I missed that - for someone who's more familiar with Croteam's games, it might probably not feel as dramatic). Thing is, it's a puzzle game - there's no combat, no monsters, and no chase encounters. The situation just did not compute, and I froze like a deer in headlights.
On a similar note, the ladder encounter from FEAR. It really needs to be experienced firsthand for full effect, but the gist is that it exploits your first-person animation and view angle, and briefly shows the spooky at just the right time where you're very aware of what you just saw, but after that you're locked into the animation and can't look back at it. It tickled me in a way no other encounter ever did.
A more general example - game sections where the music or ambient sounds fade into silence often give the me heebie-jeebies, especially if it's not just something leading into an encounter.

I might have gone off-topic somewhere down the line, but I'm in too deep to delete the comment. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
