Horror fans may scoff at the use of jump scares in video games, but it’s undeniable that a well-made shot of sudden horror is incredibly effective at ruining a perfectly good pair of pants.

What’s cool about some of these concerns is that they’ve been featured in a variety of games, including titles that aren’t really horror games. A scary jump when you really least expect it?
