It is a survival horror game. There is already a genre for those.

Not every game that has puzzles in it is an adventure game. KOTOR for example had some puzzles (some are even mathematical puzzles I get asked in interviews), but it is still an RPG. Same goes for God of War and Prince of Persia but they are Action-Adventures. Hell even Half Life 2 has some puzzles in it. I think we should look at a game and categorize it in the context of what it is trying to achieve. Dreamfall for instance is trying to tell you an interactive story, with less emphasis on the fighting and more emphasis on the story, characters and dialogue, so I think it is an adventure. Alone in the dark however is not much about the story as it is about instilling dread and fear in you. There is limited ammunition, and you have to use wits as well as brawn to "SURVIVE".
