Comment on I'm looking for games that make me feel small and insignificant

Perhaps Outer Wilds? You zoom around in a small space ship in a solar system and when you approach different phenomenas and see how big they get it gets pretty amazing.

I’m playing this right now (no spoilers please!) and find this game kind of scary! Fear of the unknown, etc.

There’s 0 danger in the base game (aside, you know, the sun…), so you can progress, fail, and retry without any stress.
The DLC though, it radically changes that and there are actually jump scares. It’s a whole different vibe.

There's an option to turn off the jump scares. I didn't think it detracted from the plot.

You can, but I still think that the last third of the DLC is too different from the base game, and really stressful. It soured the ending for me :(

Wasn’t it called “reduce frights”? Unless is has changed in the recent weeks, that option doesn’t turn off jump scares. They would have to redesign a half of the DLC to be able to turn that mechanic off.

Sometimes it can feel that way, but try to keep pushing if you can. It's a very rewarding experience and left me with good memories.

Dark Bramble is somewhat anxiety inducing (especially at that one point), but the rest it’s more just learning to ignore the timer. There’s no rush ever. You can always come back.

Same here, I tried getting into this game and I love the concept but actually playing it gives me too much anxiety!
