  • Looking for slow horror games

    Hello,

    I am trying to find some good horror games that have a good build up of the storyline. Kind of start off slow, and build up a lot of tension.
    I have on my list Silent Hill, and Crooked Man; I'm looking for a few more along that vein. Think investigative thriller/horror.

    Any ideas?

    Edit: Actually if there are films or books like this, I would love to hear those too.

  • What about Alan Wake?
    This is a text from Wikipedia:

    The player controls the eponymous protagonist, Alan Wake. In the game, a "darkness" is taking over humans, animals and objects. These enemies, dubbed the "Taken", are murderous shadows that attack Wake, wielding weapons of their own, ranging from mallets and knives to shovels and chainsaws. They vary by speed, size, and the amount of damage they can take, and some can even teleport between short distances.Besides the Taken, the player must combat flocks of possessed ravens and animated objects.
