I wanted to expound on Dark Fall. The first time I played it, I was creeped out to all hell; as in, "turn the damn lights on!!!" levels of creepiness. Like a fool, I played alone and took no notes.
After realizing my no-note-taking folly, I enlisted my brave and intrepid wife to help. Sitting immediately behind me with a notepad, she was very possibly as scared as I was. Some of the things I had seen IMMEDIATELY BEFORE (as in, only a day or two) were just as scary, if not more. That game builds atmosphere and dread like no other I've ever seen. Truly frightening, in a completely pervasive psychological way.
So my recommendation: get Dark Fall, make sure to take notes, enlist help if necessary, and bring a spare change of underwear.
