I did a search and I didn't find this topic so I figured I'd make it. I love Lovecraft/Lovecraftian horror very much and I was curious if anyone could suggest horror games in that style. So far I can only think of the following:

Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth
Call of Cthulhu: Shadow of the Comet
Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem
The Worry of Newport
Magicka: The Stars are Left
Alone in the Dark
Slender (I realize this is based off Slenderman Mythos but even that has Lovecraft feel)
Silent Hill (1-4 mostly)

I know there has to be more than that out there, and I would love to hear about any gems I overlooked. Age doesn't matter (new or old is just as fine to me), I just am in a mood to play more in the same grain.
Scratches is Lovecraftian to the bone.

And it's here on GOG.
You're pretty much listed most of them already.

Amnesia has a Lovecraftian-style background and the parts at the end are otherworldly terror, but the majority of the game is standard-issue horror.
Prisoner of Ice?

One of the better ones is actually a text adventure called Anchorhead. Get it online here.

Other ones I'm aware of:

Prisoner of Ice (sequel to Shadow of the Comet)
Call of Cthulhu: The Wasted Land
The Lurking Horror (another text adventure)

There are a lot more that I'm forgetting, but they'll probably come to me later.

Stooner: Prisoner of Ice?
Oh man, I can't believe I forgot that one! LOL I have it sitting on my shelf.
The hound of shadow ?

Darkseed ?

Also some other old adventure game I haven't played, named Personal Nightmare...

Oh and the online browser-based Cthulhu Nation is a great little work of love.

Sam and Max season 3 ?
