Torchbearer. A game where being in the dungeon too long will result in dying of exhustion.

Any edition of dnd. The risk mainly comes from how you design your encounters and environments. Make sure you explain the deadly nature of your campaign though, so that they'll take precautions while roleplaying instead of derping towards a premature end. It'll also be a good idea if they prepare more than one character, so that they don't be cry and sour the rest of the session after losing their special snowflake Drow assassin.

Ah yes, being slain by having a tiny pig wave flags at you.

Truly a demise worthy of the most stalwart heroes.

Dark Heresy.
IF you don't want the setting itself with the 40k aspect, just run it with primitive weapons located in the book.
Obviously don't have tech priests.
But it's kinda close. Madness, corruption, horrors, all that jazz.
Just change some labels.

These.

Also, Strike! with the hardcore optional rules.

WHFRP (2e) is better for that, I feel, it is Dark Heresy's near direct predecessor after all
