So I didn't find it "scary" or "fearful" but it was one of the most uncomfortable games I have ever played. Be it random trap explosions, acid containers, falling, torture machines, the somewhat clunky controls, really weird save system, limited field of view, not always being able to see where shots hit, etc... I was uneasy and uncomfortable basically the whole way through, and in a weird way I thought it shined in that aspect. I was definitely dreading death at every turn playing it on hard. I died a TON on 1st playthrough.
/EDIT: What diff did you play it on. I don't know if you played Wolfenstein the new order at all, but easy difficulty, absolutely no AI and piece of shit game. Hard difficulty, my favorite game of 2014. Evil Within is somewhat the same way or so I have heard. I have not tried it on easy yet.
