Hello Dear Gaf,
Back at the beginning of 2020 (January specifically) my cousin (in her 40s) came over with her 3 kids, 11 Year Old Girl, 9 Year old Boy and another 6 year old girl. These are my nieces and nephews who I love very much and love to hang out with. Our usual thing is to just chill in my room, troll each other in friendly ways and have them watch me play video games.
Now for the context, they absolutely love horror stuff, whether its a game or a film and doesn't matter if its gory or not but they like the suspense and they love getting scared. So I've decided to pop in Resident Evil 7, we turned off the lights and they started watching the beginning of the game which is arguably the best part of the game (The house).
For a quick recap I had them watch the entirety of Mia going batshit insane and chopping off Ethan's hand with a chainsaw (6 year old was laughing uncontrollably at that, while the other 2 gave her really weird looks) and of course the most fun and scary part (at least for most people) was when you hear loud knocking noises and you go down into the basement and Mia is in her evil/manipulated form where she comes up from the bottom of the screen with her scary ass face.
When that happened, the kids screamed on top of their lungs and told me to stop, but then they kept asking questions what happens next to Mia and how do the game end. They told me to keep playing because they HAVE to know. My sister came running from downstairs cause she heard the screams and thought someone was hurting themselves or one of the siblings hit each other (The boy likes to abuse his sisters and call them bitches from time to time when they get into fights, the usual typical bad dumb boy behavior when your small and still immature)
They eventually had to leave, because it was getting late, but all of us had a massive blast and looked forward to continuing to playing RE7 to the end. Then Corona hit and sadly, no one was allowed in the house for over a year due to family rules and such things. Then finally few months ago we jumped on RE8 from the start, my nephew loved Lady Demetrucus because she had big boobies and was hot as shit (as he described proudly) we finally beat RE8 during thanksgiving, the screams were not as loud this time around because they got used to it and they loved the twist at the end of RE8 and the final post-credits cut-scene of Rose and now they told me they can't wait for me to play RE9 (whenever that arrives)
They told me RE7 was much more funner to them because it was a lot scarier and more suspenseful but they did enjoy the action of 8 and the Castle the most and they thought the story was fun and intrinying but it also confused them since they didn't really get past the house part from RE7 due to Corona.
So now Dear Gaf I ask you, am I good Gaming Uncle or should I be ashamed for allowing the kids to experience such horror? You decide!
