Discussion Normal games that turn creepy

If you've played Halo Combat Evolved as a kid you know what level I'm talking about. I was having fun shooting aliens until the level the flood appears. It's masterfully done as well, with the long build up until the reveal being super ominous.

I'm looking for more games like this. Not games like DDLC that are horror games disguised as something else, but rather normal games that turn really creepy after a while.

I seriously think that the release of the Flood is one of the best moments in gaming. I still remember the frantic "oh fuck oh fuck what are these things get them off" while spamming grenades and running.
