What is the most unnerving experience you've ever had while playing a video game? Was it that the game was good at frightening you or do you think there was some deeper more peculiar thing about the game itself that you felt was unsettling?

Many years ago, I was doing a Final Fantasy solorun on my NES. I was stuck at the Ice Cave for over a week because most encounters can one hit you with either instadeath or a status effect like stone or stun which is effectively the same on a solo run. At the end of the Ice Cave you get an item that more or less gives you the air ship, and I wanted the air ship pretty badly after about a week of failing to get it. Normally when I'd die, I'd just hit reset and try again. You get used to dying pretty quickly when you solo run FF on console. One time, I loaded up my save and found that I inexplicably had the air ship. I was so excited until I realized that it was glitched and couldn't fly over mountains. You need to be able to fly over mountains to progress the game. I cannot think of another explanation than the game fucking with me.
