Welcome to the Game 2 is the 2018 sequel to the indie horror game Welcome to the Game, where players browse a fictional dark web from a locked apartment while threats build outside. Its short laugh became detached from gameplay as players clipped tense moments and shared them on soundboards and in meme edits. The clip now travels on its own, used far beyond horror fans to signal a sinister presence, a taunt, or a joke about being watched online, which keeps its unsettling tone recognisable.
About this sound
A brief evil laugh from Welcome to the Game 2, the 2018 horror sequel. Creators drop this quick sound effect into jump scares, villain moments and creepy edits.
This is a very brief, distorted laugh taken from Welcome to the Game 2, lasting less than a second but instantly recognisable to horror game fans. The voice is processed and unsettling, with a sharp, mocking tone that sounds like a hacker or villain taunting the player through a screen. Because it cuts in and out so quickly, it creates an immediate sense of dread and dark humour at the same time. Viewers hear it and expect something bad is about to happen, which makes it perfect as a punctuation mark for creepy or tense scenes.
