I can't think of anything; I'm not really into horror games that much. Oh, and to let you know, most likely a mod is going to tell you to use the game recommendation thread at the top of the page.

You could try the Penumbra series, its a little clunky but the games are pretty good

In vein of scratches?

Try:
Dark Fall series

Barrow Hill

Rhiannon

If you don't mind real-time 3D graphics then Darkness Within 2 and Penumbra series are great picks too

I played Alan Wake recently, good game, def something to try for horror genre. Someone recommended Dead Space, I second that, awesome horror survival game.

Nothing beats Call of the Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth The unsettling environment and the eerie feel can make you pee in the pants. And unlike most horror games which go like "shoot and kill that wierd creature"...this one really has some intense story to it. its adventure+horror at its creepy best Try it

I think a lot of people here are missing the adventure game part of the horror game question...

Well it's an action-adventure, and a cult classic. The sanity meter creates some of the most unique and bizare scary moments that often break the fourth wall, like when it tricks you into thinking it's deleting all of you save files for the game, stuff like that.

Och, it's a great game for sure, but he asked for adventure games and gave a very specific example. Enternal Darkness just doesn't fit. Majority of action-adventures (including ED) have far more in common with action games than with adventure titlesanyway

True, but traditional adventure games are rare nowadays, the only modern ones I can think of off the top of my head are indigo prophecy and heavy rain, and I don't think either one qualifies as a horror game.

huh? THere are literaly dozens of traditional adventure games released each year, it's just that Gamespot doesn't cover them anymore. The game the OP mentioned (Scratches) and most of those I recommended are all from last couple years.
