Scariest Video Game Moments in Non-Horror Games - #6: Demon's Souls Tower of Latria


When I first considered including Demon's Souls on this list, I was thinking specifically of 3-1. Then I remembered the gargoyles in 3-2 that appear to be statues, but attack you when you get closer. Tower of Latria is just creepy in general. In 3-1, it's very claustrophobic. You're forced to travel down narrow hallways filled with jail cells. Some of the floors have holes in them, which will lead to your death. It's extremely dark and you can hear pained screams in the background. It's very easy to get lost because the area itself is a maze. There are Mind Flayers that look like mini Cthulhus and can do a ton of damage to you, if you allow them to get close enough. And in 3-2...Again, you have those damn gargoyles. Tower of Latria is the most atmospheric area in the entire game.
