A sci-fi horror almost never scares me, I don't even remember if I was scared at all by Alien(s) and I was underage when I watched it. I simply can't relate well to a character in a spaceship or another planet, but set the movie in contemporary times and places, and it can scare the willies out of me if I feel like I could be there among the characters. For instance, The Ring and the old Dawn of the Dead scared me because they were set in very familiar times and places.In a RPG it never happened that something scared me. That could be because all RPG I've ever played were set in a fantasy world. No way I can truly see myself in a world of elves and dragons (maybe this is a fault in my roleplaying abilities <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> ). But maybe a RPG in historical medieval Europe with all supernatural stuff tied to religion, and perhaps it starts having an unsettling effect.</blockquote>
