I think all my favourites have been mentioned. Only two are missing (or I'm reading wrong): Amber and Lighthouse, very good and clear influences for the Dark Fall games.

Well never forgot to add following PC Games in Horror Gener.
1.) Erevos 2.) Dracula 3.) Vampire Diaries 4.) Ghostly Desires 5.) Ghosts starring Christopher Lee 6.) Resident Evil 1 + 2 + 3 Also brought "F.E.A.R" yesterday which looks Horror atleast the Directors interview and the making gives me creep. Its FPS not an adventure game, a FPS set in atmosphere of the movie "The Ring" LOL I am sure there are many other strong Horror games as well. I will check my list and will update here soon. |

Haven't gotten into the horror game genre. I might buy Vampire bloodlines and see what I have been missing.

Shadow of the Comet is THE best horror adventure, based on Lovecraft or not
Then there are Dark Eye - great interactive novel based on Poes' stories Gabriel Knight 2 - classical werewolfish horror Personal Nightmare and Waxworks - both from Horrorsoft (the name talks for itself) Alone in the Dark - the original one, not the lame sequels Clock Tower - the one for SNES which I saw is what you need from original japanise horror story Darkseed - something from Lovecraft, something from Giger.. Just dn't bother with the sequel Esctatica - one of the best survival horror games I saw |

I'm supriced nobody has mentioned Cosmology of Kyoto yet. Wonderful, exiting historical tour mixed with national fairy tales.. But not horror Still one of my most favourite games, and I'm surprised somebody mentioned it |

Deamons, Ghosts, Death, Darkness....
Well, historical or not It's dark enough for me at least And I agree, one of the best and most overlooked Adventure Expiriences of all time.

I've just purchased Silent Hill 2 and have been playing for the last few days and my god is it good. Graphics hold up surprisingly well for a three year old game and the realtime lighting is just supurb (Without straining your graphics card either). The scenarios are very creepy and some are outright disturbing
Spoiler: Unfortunately I'm getting a lot of graphical errors and am experiencing quite a few crashes resulting in my computers having to be rebooted multiple times to get the game to run again. (If anyone knows a solution the these problems please let me know. I have a Radion 9600 which I'm going to soon upgrade to a X850XT, and from what I've read the patches don't seem to solve my problems... But problems aside a truly great game, even though I'm not that far into it yet. |

What's a microwave? And how can you see it if it's a micro wave??? Do you need to use a microscope?
And, we mustn't forget "the first adventure game to be directly inspired by the writings of H.P. Lovecraft", Necronomicon (well, that's what it says on the box! ) Stormy New England village setting, macabre atmosphere, biomechanical devices, references to ancient horrors... The ashes/herbs/gemstone puzzle is pretty chilling. Warning! Contains annoying unmappable maze near the end, and a very aggravating final timed sequence which can only be solved by trial and error! Ack!

I love horror games, and my favorites are the old, text-adventure games like personal nighmare, veil of darkness and uninvited. Oh, and the Michael Zerbo text games Child Murderer, Severed Heads and Inner Demons. For the most recent games, I enjoyed 7th Guest/11th Hour, Dark Fall and Dark Fall: Lights Out, Jack the Ripper and Still Life. I didn't like Black Mirror that much though...

Shivers, Silent Hill 2, Dead Space was pretty scary, but I quit playing it because it annoyed me towards the end. Dark Fall. Pac Man because being chased through a maze by ghosts sends my aggression level through the roof.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBrg95kCX6U 4) Isn't Ghostly desires supposed to be a softporn title ? 5) Ghosts is more of a documentary than a true adventure game. You go around the house clicking on stuffs to hear and see some ghost clips or stuffs. It's kind of boring. Harvester is kind of sick and twisted horror adventure/action game. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpsQpnMLf6U Not F.E.A.R but how about "The fear" ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9Qob-DIYlQ |
