    Ok, I've been looking around but I can never find any horror games anywhere. Some might have been under my nose all this time but I seem to have found them already or plan to buy them but I dont have the money or system.
    Any of you know any horror games? If so please share the ones you know that are not listed below.
    And no Resident Evil games please, I dont like them and they are not even horror anyway.

    These are the games I already have or plan to buy in the future

    Wii
    Calling (own)
    Ju-On: The Groudge (Haunted House Simulator)
    Fatal Frame 4: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse (If it ever gets localized)

    PS3
    Silent Hill Homecoming
    Silent Hill HD Collection
    AMY
    Dead Space
    Dead Space 2

    PS2
    Silent Hill 2
    Silent Hill 3 (own)
    Silent Hill 4: The Room
    Fatal Frame
    Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly
    Fatal Frame III: The Tormented

    PS1
    Parasite Eve (own)
    Parasite Eve II (own)
    Silent Hill (own)

    3DS
    Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir (Fatal Frame Spin-off)

    PSP
    Silent Hill Origins (planing to get it off PSN for the good price of $9.99)
    The 3rd Birthday (I consider it horror)
    Corpse Party (own)
    Corpse Party: Book of Shadows (when it gets localized)

    In case you havent noticed, most of these are Japanese horror :lol:
    EDIT:
    I might be adding some when I remember them or had gotten some good suggestions.

    AMY looks interesting to me as well.

    Oh, isn't really scary or nothing, but I would recommend for those who want to start playing Horror Games. It's Obscure and Obscure 2.

    Isn't really a true HORROR GAME, but I would recommend for the persons who are new for this kind of game. You already have it in the list, Silent Hill is a great horror game, I would highly recommend it too.

    I know Siren isn' t appealing to you, but I really have to second that. Although I think Forbidden Siren 1&2 are much better than the PS3 remake (they are longer and more disturbing) at least the remake has a toned down difficulty and an intelligible story. I thought I should mention that since you seem to mainly care about the storyline.

    Also, here' s another awesome horror game no one mentioned : "Eternal Darkness : Sanity' s Requiem" on Gamecube. It' s a psychological horror game, the first M rated game directly published by Nintendo. Its story and gameplay picked many ideas from Lovecraft novels.

    From Wikipedia : Though not a commercial success, Eternal Darkness was widely praised, even winning the Outstanding Achievement in Character or Story Development award at the 6th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards, presented by the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences.

    Yeah thats true, I only care for the story of the game far more then graphics and gameplay. :)
    Its usually remakes and re-imaginings that turn me off thats why Silent Hill Shattered Memories isn't on the list. I might try Eternal Darkness : Sanity' s Requiem if I ever find it. Thanks for the recommendation :)

    I'd recommend Amnesia The Dark Decent!

    That game is scary.

    If you can find a working copy of Ao Oni, give that a shot. It's a freeware game made in RPG Maker. It actually changes between different editions, too. The puzzles change, the plot changes somewhat... It's a minimalistic game that makes optimal use of one scare tactic; the monster can appear scripted or at random, and even when it's scripted, it will find ways to surprise you. The only issue with English versions is that sometimes the text doesn't work at all. Won't even show up. There's definitely a copy of the most recent version that avoids that issue, although it might not be consistent across different computers.
