Sebastian “Forsen” Fors gave viewers exactly what they tuned in for during a recent horror game session when an unexpected jump scare sent him literally jumping out of his seat. The moment happened near the end of his gameplay segment when a sudden frightening figure appeared on screen, catching both Forsen and his audience completely off guard.
The clip shows Forsen leaning in to check out something on screen just before the jump scare hits. This innocent curiosity made the scare even more effective, as the streamer had unintentionally positioned himself closer to his monitor right before the terrifying moment.
“That’s a good jump scare,” noted one viewer, echoing the feeling of many who admitted their own hearts dropped even though they expected something was coming.
Jump scares like this one are a great mashup of game design and streaming culture. Game developers know these moments make perfect shareable clips, while streamers’ real reactions turn them into entertainment that lives well beyond the original stream.
