* [[https://www.roblox.com/games/6243699076/The-Mimic This]] popular horror game, ''The Mimic'' takes place in Japan. You play as someone named Yasu and venture back to your old high school to find your missing friends, but you run into multiple StringyHairedGhostGirl-like ghosts throughout your way. Creepy. [[AndIMustScream ''You even come to the realization that your friends are now literal butterfly spirts you have been using.'']]

*** Unlike the Ill, [[PacifistRun who can go the whole game not killing a single person]], Soul Eaters are ''forced to consume the players' souls.'' Why? Because they are at the mercy of a '''[[EldritchAbomination giant hand,]]''' '''''which drags the players into the [[EldritchLocation Abyss]].''''' Better get to consuming souls if you don't want to be taken away. Oh, and before you get dragged to the Abyss, if you don't consume souls the first night of being a Soul Eater, you'll start taking damage, implying that the Soul Eater is ''starving to death.''

** The nurses had their own transformations in Gaymoria Peek Church Asylum: The Unholy Ones. And they are ''just as creepy as the cannibals, if not more so.'' They appear to be just a [[{{Squick}} mass of horribly mangled and]] '''[[BodyHorror partially liquified flesh.]]''' It's also implied that the Unholy Ones are not caused from going insane: '''They are purely supernatural in origin''. If you misbehave, prepare to get '''''[[DisproportionateRetribution brutally murdered]]''''' by the Unholy Ones...

*** Now, we have Drowneds. ''Everything'' about this monster is creepy. They appear similar to Cannibals, but now make new sounds. What new sounds do they make? '''[[HellIsThatNoise Gurgling and choking]]''', sounding like [[MeaningfulName they've actually been drowned and are choking on the water]] [[AndIMustScream that's blocking their mouths]]. They also have a new animation: ''[[ProjectileVomit A vomiting animation]]'', and it's not just a small amount of it either; '''[[NaseuaFuel it's copious and copious amounts of vomit]]'''.

*** They started off as Cannibals, and were, much like the first two, pack hunters and ''incredibly fast''. Not to mention, when they eat someone, ''[[{{Gorn}}their face becomes covered in blood afterwards]]''. '''''Brr..''''' Oh, and their torso contorts and [[NightmareFace their faces]] are horrifically distorted and mutilated.

*** [[MeaningfulName True to]] [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin their name]], Soul Eaters [[YourSoulIsMine eat souls]], but the animation that plays is '''horrifying'''.

Because they are at the mercy of a '''giant hand,''' '''''which drag the players into the [[EldritchLocation Abyss]], never to be seen again.''''' Better get to consuming souls.

** Also, not helping matters are the existence of ''[[EldritchAbomination Nightmare characters]]'', which warp and distort various characters into former shells of themselves. Take for example, the normally [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter adorable]] ''[[https://i.imgur.com/NejjLi3.png Binky]]'', whose cuteness will "[[TastesLikeDiabetes melt your heart]]", and then you look at [[https://i.imgur.com/a46bGCA.png her nightmare form]] (which, at first, is like a far darkened version of her with a highly disturbed face as [[WideEyesAndShrunkenIrises her pupils are red and dilated]], and she has a bunch of blood red slashes on her left eye. [[FromBadToWorse That's not all though]]; her body ''[[https://i.imgur.com/1Pi7LuV.png splits open]]'' whenever she jumps or flies, and upon closer examination, the said split appears to be [[TooManyMouths some sort of mouth]] with sharp, blood-soaked spiked appendages resembling teeth), who'll instead probably melt your heart in a different way... bet you've got second thoughts on how cute Binky is now.

* At first, the [[RougeAnglesOfSatin rather]] [[RandomEventsPlot flawed]] horror game known as "Hospital [[Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos Slenderman]] Nightmare 3" is an unintentionally hilarious mix of outdated memes (notably Weegee), grammar that is so [[TheUnintelligible unintelligible]] that's it's funny and general unintended LightmareFuel, once you encounter a [[KnightOfCerebus dark-coloured ghost]] that teleports you somewhere else, the broken dialogue is nowhere to be found. It's just you, alone, wandering around black and white halls. Oh, and this section has the first JumpScare in the game. The CerebusSyndrome doesn't last forever, but it's still a creepy twist to this otherwise unintentionally funny game.

** This horror is more apparant if you re-visit a game that you played in your childhood. Just the sheer thought that the game you played and enjoyed as a child is just empty and abandoned, it's both an eerie and saddening thought.

* [[http://www.roblox.com/Landos-Haunted-Mansion-place?id=9246950 This]] game isn't too scary at first, despite its premise.

* [[https://www.roblox.com/games/6243699076/The-Mimic This]] popular horror game takes place in Japan, Where we play as Yasu. The main character of the game. You venture back to your old high school to find your missing friends, However, You run into multiple StringyHairedGhostGirl-like ghosts through out your way. Creepy. [[AndIMustScream ''You even come to the realization that your friends are now literal butterfly spirts you have been using.'']]

You venture back to your old high school to find your missing friends, However, You run into multiple StringyHairedGhostGirl-like ghosts through out your way. Creepy. (Not to mention, This game is based off japanese urban legends, which could explain why the creatures are bizzare.)

* [[http://www.roblox.com/Landos-Haunted-Mansion-place?id=9246950 This]] game isn't too scary at first, despite its premise. It's just a haunted house with a few silly things in it, such as a painting of Lando themself that turns into Justin Bieber when lightning flashes. The few actual scares are mostly prompted by clicking on things, like the couch to reveal a dead body, so there aren't really any jumpscares... until you enter the bedroom. You open the door, walk in a few steps... and then the bed opens up and devours you! It can be jarring for people who expect nothing special in the game.

* In the now defunct R.U.N., the goal is to run away from an all-devouring blob who multiplies every few seconds. But what makes it even scarier is the blob's cry of "Ah, [[NarmCharm fresh meat!]]" at the beginning of a round.
** Not to mention [[{{VideoGame/Diablo}} where said cry came from, and who said it...]]
** R.U.N.'s thumbnail also qualifies. [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/roblox/images/0/00/RUN-0.png/revision/latest?cb=20170316071956 Featuring a very disturbing realistic Pacman]], this was shown in the related games section in other game's pages, no doubt scaring a few kids away from it.

* ''[[https://www.roblox.com/games/4060866 Toytale Roleplay]]'' is a UsefulNotes/{{Roleplaying}} game partially inspired by ''VideoGame/{{Tattletail}}''[[note]](In fact, it used to have Tattletail's characters in it!)[[/note]] with a similar concept as children and toys roam freely around the house in-game. The game even outright has a death feature should you disable safety, which means that you can literally ''die'' in the game, and the game used to warn you about this and says that if it's off, you may not get the full, immersive experience.

* The [=RetroStudio=] game The End :3 has a Majora's Mask parody with a SlasherSmile ball crashing into the map and if you die you get the ball as the head.

* the now (apparently removed) tails doll series from roughly 2014. The first game in the series is pretty simple, you are in a rusty metal corridor with red fog and you can only go forward until you eventually get jumpscared, however tails doll II has you enter a wooden house in a small field, you then meet an old man who gives some exposition before you suddenly can faintly hear the song can you feel the sunshine. You are then told to get into a wooden elevator as the song gets slowly closer. Eventually you get off and exit the building, and as the song gets even closer you slowly limp (at least that’s the speed you’re moving at.) towards the edge of the map. In the (from what I can tell) final installment of the series, you are in a nearly pitch black basement/lab made of dark grey stone full of moss. Your only tool is a flashlight and by inspecting notes around the place you find out about an experiment gone wrong, a shattered test chamber, and eventually reach a maze like area. However this was the farthest I have ever made it and any videos I’ve seen haven’t made it past this part. If you find any info/videos of anything past that point, or you actually find any of the games, you can edit this to include them.

* The RetroStudio game The End :3 has a Majora's Mask parody with a SlasherSmile ball crashing into the map and if you die you get the ball as the head.

* The February 29 hacking incident of MeepCity had the game having lots of coins, seconds later teleporting them to a deleted game, or a different game with the same name, albeit a number at the end. You could beat up Alexnewtron and he made sexual noises, the bg music slows down, and racist audio played.

* There's a very neat and advanced nuclear facility named ''[[https://www.roblox.com/games/17541193 Pinewood Computer Core]]'', where you can manage a realistic power core with your friends and other users. However, the realistic aspect is that the core will go under a nuclear explosion if it get's too hot or cold. While it can be prevented, it requires three players to fill up three emergency coolant rods just by repeatedly clicking their buttons, getting the amount of coolant in the three rods filled between 69 and 81 percent, which is [[SurpriseDifficulty Harder Than It Looks]] but if you don't get the percentages right, or on very rare occasions, the rods fail to cool the core, a meltdown will occur. Upon the failure, loud sirens play right before ominous music (a track even named after the aforementioned adjective) music plays, and that is quickly followed by a deep voice telling you to evacuate because of the dangerous meltdown that is just happening. It's scarier when you enter a server that's about to have a meltdown or has already just had one (at least before the map rebuilds), seeing the sudden JumpScare of expecting the base to be operating as normal, only for it to be in a frantic meltdown. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfGuQPLjfMw See it in action.]] [[TheWikiRule The Roblox Wikia]] has [[http://roblox.wikia.com/wiki/Community:Diddleshot/Pinewood_Computer_Core#Events a surprisingly comprehensive list of all the events that occur]] for those who want more detail.

** During old versions of the game, thanks to the fact that if the map would crash if the facility rebuilt thanks to the damage the explosion caused, the server would shut down, which is quite scary, seeing you're just playing a mortal server, but then an update came out that {{Averted|Trope}} this that gave the map a major facelift and the doors got redesigned. While the meltdown looked exactly the same when the update came out, the whole entire track of the explosion music plays in full quality when it occurs, and the map is completely unharmed by the explosion. After that, the game stops for a {{Beat}}, and then the explosion randomly disappears. Music plays, and then the facility rebuilds, which is quite jarring on the first encounter. Later averted, as as of mid-2019, the game informs you the map rebuilds right before the music ends.

* The aforementioned Camping [[FollowTheLeader spawned a series of horror adventure games]] that also take everyday premises and [[CrapsaccharineWorld add horrific and murderous twists to them]]. They prove to be nightmarish as Camping itself.
** ''[[https://www.roblox.com/catalog/3294211428 Overnight]]'' (formerly titled ''Sleepover''): You and your friends are invited to David's sleepover! However, as time goes by, you'll be encountering some freaky events: a [[EldritchAbomination Monster]] ambushes the house and kills some of your friends during a power outrage, the Monster threatens again at the second outrage, the bus mysteriously tips over, you and your surviving friends follow into a CreepyBasement revealed enormous dungeon, and it is {{Reveal}}ed that David is possessed by the Monster. In the default ending, the Monster then attacks a random player and replaces David with them, [[HereWeGoAgain starting the story all over again]].
** The Monster ending is worse. You can choose to sacrifice someone in exchange for all of your friends' survival... But as it turns out, [[NiceJobBreakingItHero that sacrifice was what allowed the Monster to doom humanity]], while the rest of the survivors is forced to live with that fact.
* ''[[https://www.roblox.com/games/3450529536 Sacrifice Sanctuary]]'' is a game where 12 players participate in [[DeadlyGame Royalty Challenges]] to become the house royal. The house royal then chooses 2 contestants to becomes sacrifices, with their survival provided they beat each other in Basement Challenges. This repeats until 2 people remain, in which they compete in Final Challenges. While the Royal Challenges and Final Challenges aren't that nightmarish, some of the Basement Challenges are quite horrific, not helped by the creepy music.

* ''[[https://www.roblox.com/games/3851622790 Break In (Story)]]''. As you can probably expect from the "story" title, this is a game where it shortly devolves into pure, unadultured horror, especially since some of possible roles that users can have are children. While not as bad as other examples, in here, you, and a couple other of users, move into a new house... only to have ''Film/ThePurge'' happen where a bunch of villains proceed to cause havoc and destroy the town, as lead by [[BigBad Scary Larry]]. They can easily break into the three available rooms to sleep in and attack users during the night, which is especially painful if they lack weaponry, and one of them [[DeliveryGuyInfiltration masquerades as a pizza delivery guy]] when pizza is ordered!

* ''Goblin Island'' is a silly game about whacking other players that look like the [[https://www.roblox.com/catalog/5945013896/Realistic-cursed-goblin Realistic cursed goblin]] accessory (which was also made by the game creator), so it's pretty jarring as Wren's mystery box objective goes from gaining ten total kills in the game (and even having a chance to turn into a Realistic cursed Wren goblin) to entering the Memory Zone to receive the mystery box... and hoo boy, [[SurpriseCreepy the sudden change in atmosphere is terrifying]]. You're stuck in what seems to be an [[EldritchLocation warped abandoned area]], and you're expecting a JumpScare at one point... but [[NothingIsScarier there's nothing. No music. Nothing]]. Just pure PlatformHell. There isn't even a triumphant sound when you pick up the mystery box, nothing at all. You're basically stuck there until you exit the game.

*** It's nowhere as jarring as the major update of 2019, which changed the music drastically, revamped the graphics, and added random events, some of which are incredibly jarring to experience. First of all is the radiation flood, and you hear a pipe explode, which there are emergency plugs to drain the liquid radiation, but if you don't have a PET HAZMAT suit on, the flood will kill you. Thankfully, you can easily drain it by opening all four plugs, but the worse events are of which you hear loud rumbling in the background, either of which could cause an explosion that hurts the players and causes liquid plasma to rise up the mainframe, an earthquake that smashes trains out of nowhere, or the magma event, where you have to get up to the top of the facility or magma engulfs you as a whole.

** A good example of scary is the third code, which makes horrifying sirens, but just either does the PRIDE 2 defense scene, or a meltdown/freezedown, but scarier.
** Not to mention [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYxfeS_LjGk this used to happen whenever an exploit was discovered within the server]]. '''(volume warning!)''' For some, this can instead be a hysterical BigLippedAlligatorMoment.

*** If you thought '''''that''''' was scary, then at random times, other events can occur now, including an event that starts with loud rumbling and bubbling sound that is abnormal seismic activity, leading to a loud explosion and music and a plasma surge. It may catch you off guard, and is scarier than the other events.
** To make matters worse, ''this is one of AJ Striker's badge requirements for his mystery box''. This has caused some to speculate he has a much darker side to him...

** In an aversion of this trope, the following update changed how the game resets itself; before it, the entire server would shut itself down after a meltdown occurred, kicking everybody out of it. Now, it just rebuilds the entire game [[NightmareRetardant without having to kick anybody]].

* There's a very neat and advanced nuclear facility named ''[[https://www.roblox.com/games/17541193 Pinewood Computer Core]]'', where you can manage a realistic power core with your friends and other users. However, that realistic aspect also applies to the core if it overheats. If the core is intentionally left to overheat to the point where it's out of control, it will suffer a nuclear meltdown with consequences. First, all players will get messages on the top bar that it's overheating and that it needs to be cooled, but if it gets hotter, serious music will play, and three players have to active the Emergency Coolant rods. If the rods aren't filled in the correct amounts, sirens play after the failure to cool the core. Ominous music follows (and a track literally named the aforementioned word), announcements will be made saying to evacuate the facility, explosions will be heard, and eventually, the power will go out, which also switches the music to another track. Then the Emergency Self Destruct System goes off, emphasizing that you have to escape the base before it explodes. Unless you escape by rocket, to go another part of Pinewood, go to the edge of the topside bunker, or use the gamepass-exclusive shelter, you'll have to be eaten by the giant red explosions, along with the other unlucky users, the facility, and (according to warning text) ''[[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt the entire world]]''. It's scarier when you enter a server that's about to have a meltdown or has already just had one (at least before the map rebuilds), seeing the sudden JumpScare of expecting the base to be operating as normal, only for it to be in a frantic meltdown.
