5 Terrifying Moments in Non-Horror Video Games

July 11, 2020 by Red Stewart

Red Stewart presents 5 terrifying moments present in non-horror video games….

Adrenaline is a bigger drug than caffeine – humans crave it in their everyday activities, whether it’s speeding down the highway, riding a roller coaster at a theme park, or scaring themselves through a horror medium.

Therefore, we have compiled a list of just 5 of these moments seen in video games.

Check them out below, and be sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel for more exclusive videos and content…
