Outlast.

it is just a master piece

Just start the game and ignore the pixel hunt than thank me later

Cultist Simulator certainly fits the theme, no scares but a great puzzle game.

Into the gloom, atmospheric pixelated first-person horror game. Last door 1 and 2, great lovecraftian point and click games.

Dead Space 1 , System Shock 2 and Fatal Frame 2 . These are some of the scariest games i have ever played and i fully reccomend .

The original Doom 3 (non-BFG Edition). If it did one thing right, it was the atmosphere, sound design and at the time, incredibly looking shadows. And of course, it has its own lineup of jump scares too. The whole package. I remember being quite on edge when playing it, being like 14 years old.

I would have to say F.E.A.R. 3. Play it at night time when you are the ONLY one awake. And make sure the TV is the ONLY source of light. BBBÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖ

I recommend The Legacy: Realm of Terror

I must warn you though, it's pretty hardcore, without a walkthrough, you may end up needing a few months of experimentation to finish it; luckily, there is a walkthrough in Youtube to help you if you get stuck.

You play as a hapless individual who inherited a huge mansion, but cobwebs and rats are the least of your worries. It is obvious, right from the start, that something has gone terribly wrong in that place. We are talking Lovecraftian mayhem.

It's a retro survival horror slow FPS affair, with your character moving through the house, while avoiding dangerous foes until you find enough resources to defeat them. The first half of the game feels quite nightmarish, as your character constantly gets paralyzed by fear, your ammunition is scarce, your combat abilities are terrible, and the puzzles are quite cryptic.

The mansion is also filled with hidden passageways, one way doors and teleporters; dangerous areas you normally shouldn't be able to access in more forgiving games, are available from the very start. I love it all!

The only thing that bugs me, is that by the end of the game, if you have been upgrading your character right, and if you have managed to get your hands on some very powerful items, the fear is greatly reduced; you feel like an enhanced version of Ashley Williams, destroying foul creatures through melee and magic. I would have prefered it if the tension was kept up to the very end.

It's a flawed gem, but one I am very glad I got to enjoy; get it if you like an unforgiving experience with an entertaining story, NPC interaction and slightly confusing maps.

I highly recommend SOMA, which has been one of the best experience I had these last years.

More than a simple Horror / Walking Simulator, this game has an unforgettable visual and sound ambiance, but more importantly, it offers a couple of massive choices which will neither change the course of the game nor its ending, but will question yourself as a human being.

And I love games which take place deep, deep underneath the ocean. :)

My recommendation: Sanitarium.
I played it in my childhood, the themes from it are still vivid in my mind.
It successfully shows that real horrors do not come from outside.

Go with the Dead Space games for horror in the unknown of space!

Darkwood for the incredible sound design, brilliant visuals, tense nights, and an overwhelming feeling of dread.

Doom 3 feels like a good horror game where you can fight back. It's different pacing from the other Doom games.

I recommend Waxworks by Horrorsoft/Adventure Soft.

I recommend, quake

quake was the perfect blend of both medevil sc-fi with a horror element taken from the fantastic h.p loveraft, whose works are still being made into some great horrors today. people may think ofit as just a fps but man i was terrified around everycorner as a kid. and they have just released an updated version so go buy it now on gog or various other platforms.
i could sit here all day and tell you why this is a great fps horror but the game speaks for it's self .
i own through steam due to the free upgrade but not on gog sadly.

anyway gooo beat quake and defeat shub-niggurath on knightmare

HAPPY HALLOWEEN all and good luck
