Any good horror games ?

[Sjukob]

Hello . Recently I felt the urge to play some horror games , unfortunately I don't know what can I play and don't feel like replaying the games I already know . So I ask you for advice , do you know decent horror games ? My only criterion is that they should contain action , I never liked games where you are defenseless like Penumra , Outlast , Amnesia . It's not necessary for recommended game to be a standalone game , I am ready to play mods if they are good . And no Resident Evil or Silent Hill , please .

The list of what I've played:
Area 51
Call of Cthulhu dark corners of the earth
Cry of fear
The suffering 1-2
Nightmare House 2
STALKER series ( if they can be considered horror games )
FEAR series

Action? How about Condemned?

Also, semi-random list:

Eternal Darkness
Alone in the Dark series
Cleve Barker's Undying
Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth

Also, maybe Cryostasis will be up your ass alley.

Fake edit: forgot about Cataclysm.

Eversion.

Yes, it's a platformer. But it's free and doesn't take long to play through...but it'll stay with you forever.

Any jumpscares ?

 

[Unkillable Cat]

...not intentional ones, no. One enemy type (due to its nature) may jumpscare you, but otherwise you'll see things coming...slowly...right towards you.

Condemned: Criminal Origins

Alien vs Predator Classic 2000

It's free? I got it on Steam for $5. I think the evert button or whatever didn't work because I couldn't do anything other than play it like a typical platformer no matter what I pressed.

And no Resident Evil or Silent Hill , please .

Since most of the others are pretty well known, I'll second Cryostasis. The story and atmosphere were great.

 

[Neanderthal]

New Vegas: Dead Mans Hand were pretty tasty horror wise.

Scratches: Director's Cut
Darkness Within 1 & 2
Realms of the Haunting
Amnesia: The Dark Descent (for awesome mods like Penumbra: Necrologue and more)

 

[zwanzig_zwoelf]

Thief series.

 

[Gragt]

TES IV: Oblivion

He said “horror”, not “horrible”.

 

[Ninja Destroyer]

Manhunt.

Combine the urban terror atmosphere with simple stealth mechanics and horrible deaths plus excellent soundtrack and you will get a great addition to your list.

 

[tormund]

Nosferatu: The Wrath of Malachi, unique and often terrifying FPS nobody ever talks about.

 

[1451]

Alice, Madness Returns. It's about a girl and her scary adventure in wonderland.
Bloodborne, Catherine if you own consoles.

Last but not least, Five nights at freddy's.

 

[Night Goat]

Dead Space, if you can get it without giving EA money.

 

[Eyeball]

Scratches is the correct answer here. Exceptionally atmospheric and does an excellent job at building the story and setting.

Sanitarium is another gem - it's not "horror" horror, but it features enough twisted environments and psychedelic scenes to make it a masterpiece of fucked-up game development and one is easily one of my top-10 adventure games.

There are two versions. The Steam one is the "Eversion HD" version which uses enhanced graphics, a revamped last level and a hidden ending. The free version is the original version with a more challenging last level.

The HD version also adds in the option that if you press the "Evert" button while not in the right place, an on-screen prompt will show you if there's a proper location nearby.
