OMG! WHERE DID MY MENTAL SHIELD GO!?

    Okay, so, I was lying in my bed, waiting to fall asleep in the pitch blackness of my room at night. When all of a sudden, the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I look around my room... scared that something is going to come after me... something with soulless white eyes, and thousands of sharp needle like teeth. I hear a noise upstairs... one which I KNOW I hear on a regular basis... but still it startled me.

    Why am I like this? Well, I'll tell ya. Somehow, my mental shield... dissipated.

    "But Darkwolf, What the hell do you mean?" Well. Thing is, I watch and play horror games all the time. They are fun, and they are thrilling. And I don't usually have to worry about not being able to sleep later because I have a mental shield that blocks all lingering paranoia from those games. It's like a firewall, Any "virus" that carries over from those games gets burnt up and removed from my system. My brain. But, one game in particular has somehow gotten past my mental shield... and now I can't sleep. A game called "Night Blights" I saw Markiplier play it and I was like "HEY! IMMA DO IT!" But upon own playthrough of the game... I found that the jump-scares... actually made me jump. The eerie silence of the house, and tick toking of the clock making me surprisingly paranoid. There was no music... only footsteps, creature growls, and children screaming when the night blights got them. This was the first game in a long while I had to put down... I was just, I was too freaked out by it.

    Basically, the premise of the game is you are a toddler trying to protect your family from these terrifying little creatures called "Night Blights" The way you do it is you have to feed them your toys when the growl, or they will eat your family, and you. Really, I think this game has proven one of my biggest theories as to what makes things scary. For a game to be truely scary, you can't attack the mind of the adult, you have to resurface childhood fears. In this game's case, monsters hiding under your bed and in your closet. Darkness. Sharp-toothed freak-shows. And the one layer that made this game truly horrifying for me... It poked at my biggest fear in life. Losing those I care about to something horrible.

    *sigh* worst of all for me... I'm going to see a horror movie with my friend tomarrow... and I think this game utterly shattered my mental shield... Somebody... Please help! I REALLY LIKE MY SLEEP MAN! I DUN WANNA LOSE IT!
