I don't know what it is about computer or video based creepy stories, but I just don't find them scary or creepy at all. Maybe I'm desensitized to it, or maybe they're just typically badly written.

The first thing that springs to mind is why make a game with such specific rules that hardly anyone can be a part of?

Why call it a game if all you do is click accept and then are killed? Press (x) to die.

Why call it experiencing the greatest horror, if all that happens to you is you are killed. Yeah maybe I get jump scared by the "Blind Maiden" but it's not like I'm going to be scared for long because I'll be murdered afterward. I will feel nothing and experience nothing. Maybe if you did something that screwed with me psychologically. Like, promise me a tour of the afterlife, only to show me nothing and that this is the fate of all mortals, but then you say that there's a way out of this, and then I waste my whole life trying to find it. Then finally at the end of my life the maiden stands at the foot of my deathbed, the only one there as I pushed all my friends and family away with my actions that I'd taken in my life. She reveals that she was lying the entire time and behind a poorly hidden chuckle tells me that I wasted my life and now only the void remains for me. I'd call that horror.

I guess they don't scare me because they aren't grounded in any part of reality so in my head it has no chance of actually existing. That's probably why psychopathic murderers scare me more than monster based creepy stories. Monsters don't exist, but psychopaths do. And they look just like everyone else.
