Haven't seen anything remotely good besides that one game that is set in space with the skeleton astronaut, which the very name of it escapes me.

>>17
Dead Space?

>>18
It's an indie game I think, graphics are pixelated if I remember correctly.

I quite liked Alien Isolation, but then again I also liked The Evil Within and that's…divisive, to say the least. I've got high hopes for Corpse Party Blood Drive and Fatal Frame 5, though.

the Fatal Frame series is by far my favorite horror series. It has good lore, story and fun gameplay. Most horror games lack in gameplay but these games nail it. And its scary gameplay too so you don't get taken out of the atmosphere. I highly recommend playing 1-3 in order or at least play 2 and 3 since 1 wasn't nearly as good after I played those. I've never played 4 or 5 but watched some of 4 and it looked good. Too bad its on wii and region locked.

Does anyone know the easiest way to emulate RE1 or 2?

I use ePSXe and an USB gamepad I got off eBay for $5.

How do I install the rom? On emuparadise it said I would need like a special psx extraction tool or something

IIRC they aren't really horror games but I've played Stalker: SoC and Metro 2033 recently and they were pretty good and spooky, albeit being more of a atmospheric thing rather than straight up spooky.
Stalker is open world and isn't scripted as much, but the underground places are creepy as fuck and I fucked my shit when mutants came out of nowhere.
Metro is more linear and thus more scripted but it's also pretty good, it's mostly underground and humanity is fucked so it's really tense and shit.

it's dangerous to unecm roms alone, take this

I would recommend you Pathologic. It's not really horror but it's pretty spooky.

I love Stalker so much. While I wouldn't say it falls under the horror category, I would definitely recommend it to OP if they want to be scared.

Alien Isolation legit spooked me. The atmosphere was great, and it made the alien threatening to come across. That said, it has a really, really slow start.

Outlast is really scary and has a good story as well and it's not all jump scares, the whole atmosphere is creepy as hell.

Maybe it's just me, but I actually found the newest Resident Evil game to be pretty spooky. The first revelations game was like that in the beginning, but lost it later on.

Are there any other spooky games without jump scares every two seconds?
The only ones I know of are METRO 2033, STALKER and FEAR(haven't played all of it yet, but the part before you get a SMG is really scary).

have hopes for Layers of Fear

but man I hope this stupid chromatic aberration-effect is optional!

Silent Hill-Series.

Layers of Fear is basically a walking- / or door-opening-simulator with nice graphics
and predictable Jumpscares.

So it's nothing more than another YT-fodder.

You can't die, so every threat is out the window
and its so cliche that it's nothing more than textbook-"horror".

I really want to post this image from Soma to describe in a few pixels what the game is all about instead of using clumsy words but you'll be spoiled if you want to play it. I'll say if you're ok with another Amnesia-like walking simulators not adding much when it comes to gameplay, expect some chills, an overwhelming cyberpunk (as in GiTS cyberpunk) vibe and very memorable sequences and environments.

I found Outlast meh, just too much, too fast, and the run-and-hide mechanics was very annoying. Though pretty hellish and gruesome I must admit. Definitely worth it when cheap.

STALKER as said before while not an horror game is often pretty spooky thanks to pic related and all the monsters roaming freely in the dark of the night. A must play imho.
