What do you mean for PC mostly? I can't find any game in that list which wasn't released for a console. Actually, some of them were released on console only and later were released on PC.

PC has tons of exclusive horror games. These are the ones I can recall I've played and enjoyed:

Penumbra series
Amnesia
Blair Witch Project series
Scratches
Nocturne

EDIT: It seems that Amnesia was released for consoles as well. The moment I played it the game was exclusive to PC, and it stayed like that for years.

I dont play much VN games but Spirit Hunter NG was one horror VN/adventure game I really liked

Spirit Hunter: NG - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Its kind of expensive but did find it cheap one sale at the playstation store

The only game that managed to scare me: Silent Hill 4. I don't care about horror games but after Silent Hill 2 it's me favourite.

- Stories Untold is made of collection of stories but my favorite is the first story's horror. It was solid AF.

- WORLD OF HORROR is a decent indie horror game.

- The Evil Within is ok, I like the mood of the game. As for 2nd game, it felt flat and boring in a generic way more than the 1st game but especially because of cringe shit.

- Alan Wake 1 and 2 are games that something I would hesitate to recommend but when it comes to Alan Wake's American Nightmare it's fun in an arcade style.

- Among retro indie games my favourites: Murder House and Christmas Massacre.

- If you had like a hardcore mystery visual novel that has a horror route then I would strongly recommend Root Letter. It's not a sexual visual novel so its route logic is not about "dating with other characters", it's more like experiencing 5 different games in one that build upon the same core idea; so it has 1 parody route for comedy, 2 horror routes, and others are more like in logic of "what possible future you may experience so how this story may end" thingy. I don't care about visual novels but this is da real deal here.

The Last Crown

Darkness Within
CoC Dark corners of the earth
Dracula series
Outcry
Sherlock Holmes The Awakened
Kona I & II
Fobia St Dinfna Hotel

these are elite recommendations, outcry and dark corners of the earth are both top 20 games of all time to me. Should I play the dark fall games before the last crown or the other way around? also, I really liked the first darkness within game is it worth playing the sequel?

For my own recommendations

Scratches: Directors cut
The Lurking Horror
Draugen

 

[Turbo Kid]

Horror where the player is the monster

This one is sadly de-listed

What do you mean for PC mostly?

it means, in my post, i would include games that are on pc = pc ports included, i should had specified that part more

i know that most of them were originally, for consoles, but since most of the peeps, are on pc, i rec'd the pc editions

 

[Yousef Yousef]

I’d definitely second bioshock, dead rising and deadly premonition. All excellent games.

as janky as yakuza dsouls was on ps3, i still want it to be ported on pc (aside the ps3 emulator version), mean that game, felt like a crazier dead rising spin off like game
