    Fallout 3, Metro Tunnels.

    They're the only way to get around DC completely and a huge set of dungeons in their own right.

    They're full of enemies, labyrinthine, and dark. A ghoul will shriek, an ant will crawl out of somewhere or a super mutant will just be standing up ahead and I will jump every single time.

    A lot of the time it's really hard to really know where the enemies are and some of the smaller choke points will be filled with traps.

    Really sad they're gone though. NV has the sewers which are similar but not nearly as required for exploration, and 4 has metros exist as one-and-done dungeons rather than being interconnected, and 76 isn't a built up urban area.

    People say they're difficult to use but there are maps and signs everywhere that you can use to get where you want. If I wanna go to Foggy Bottom I'll take the White Line from Metro Central. Easy.

        God, I remember this lol. Before I read it again I seem to at least remember it had something to do with GNR if you kill Three Dog. Also I think it had to do with the Queen dying or something idk.

        Numbers stations are a real life thing as well that really creep me out. I think it's the lack of humanity in the voice and the bad audio quality. That and their mysterious purpose.

        This one in particular always spooked me. It's the song at the start that gives me bad vibes.

        If I ever made a Fallout game I'd 100% put a numbers station Easter egg in there as reference to this. There's already HAM radios in the game that serve no purpose other than some worldbuilding reasons.

            There's even a radio creepypasta for New Vegas as well.

            It's the abandoned location "Lone Wolf Radio". Don't remember the actual pasta though, just that there was one. It's a really creepy location anyway, just a dead radio station with tonnes of equipment lying everywhere. Inside the trailer there is graffiti that reads "Everyone is gone. I am all alone. Let it all end."

            Must just be something scary about radios.
