Apart from the usual suspects (silent hill, res evil and its clones, sweet home, clock tower, eternal darkness), what are the must play horror/survival horror games? contrary to the masses, there is something about old school graphics that scares me more than realistic ones - so newer games get less and less effective on me while old ones still creep me out. But all the lists are filled with the usual things everyone and their mother already played - can you surprise me with something else?

Kings Field and Shadow Tower while not necessarily Horror can be pretty scary at times.
I wouldn't really say Parasite Eve is horror, but there is a lot of body horror stuff in it.
Same kind of thing with like Galerians, and Koudelka. They aren't super horror focused but there are elements.
Martian Gothic Unification is probbaly a horror game too.
Then theres Echo night, and Echo Night Beyond. I actually liked Beyond a lot, even though a lot of its themes and such would be considered fairly mainstream now.

If that counts i can rec Stories Untold them
It's shaped as you playing an adventure horror game on a speccy, but you can see your table and your surrounds and all that jazz is part of the horror. Really cool and scary game
