I'm looking for something with a very specific vibe. Mainly games like Hellnight, ...iru!, or, in some capacity, the first Silent Hill.

I've already played through the famous classics, like Parasite Eve, RoR, Haunting Ground, Koudelka, Galerians, etc. None of them really scratched that itch. (save for Koudelka, but in a different way).

Got anything for me?
 
The first two Alone In The Dark games are really unsettling if you are willing to excuse the graphics, and I'm still afraid of Resident Evil 3.
 
Enemy Zero on the Sega Saturn; play it with headphones
 
Gregory Horror Show on the PS2 might be sort of up your alley?
It's got a kiddie cartoony style but it's got excellent atmosphere and can be quite stressful.
 
Super 3D Noah's Ark on the SNES
You'll never find a more disturbing or evil game

Also please do the tutorial/training mode.

Will do 🫡. You can imagine my surprise a few minutes ago, when I looked the game up and saw fucking Laura from D. That game won't ever let me go man
 
Resident Evil Survivor series can be terrifying under the right settings. Baroque isn't scary but tense and dense in atmosphere but requires heavy reading outside of the game. Kuon is also a good contender in atmosphere and Forbidden Siren alone will scare you from the photo screened faces on the models and jank.
 
I know you were asking for retro games, but if you're willing to try some newer titles with a retro vibe, SIGNALIS and Stasis (As well as other games from The Brotherhood) would also be worth looking into.

Oh man I love Baroque. One of my favorites, definitely. Hoping for a Baroque Syndrome translation!
 
I'm not looking for the obvious ones (Resident, Silent, Fatal, etc.), I'm looking for stuff that the general player wouldn't know of that'll pull them knee-deep into the genre. System of choice doesn't matter much.
