I find if a game has hyper ultra mega xbox360 tactical DLC graphics then I am less scared. Dead Space only made me jump when something was like BUHHHUHUHUH LOOK AT ME SCARY FACE.png. If a game has "terrible" graphics on thr other hand

Took me weeks to even touch minecraft on regular mode. AoM was cool for me though and more scary, the twitchers twitched more and the forest level made me break out in tears. Cry of Fear felt more like, there was a bit more behind it, I could actually have a bit of fun instead of just sniveling and trudging forwards. I think it's just an early childhood thing, I played half life when I was 5 and headcrabs scared me really badly. Vorts were okay but goddamn, those jumping bastards. I digress.
The game is plenty scary, you're just jaded.
