Effing Dead is a 3rd person adventure horror game that’s set in a water storage station on a distant planet, currently on Steam Greenlight

The game is heavily influenced by Resident Evil 4, but also brings plenty of it’s own ideas to the party.  You control a defence clone (drone), and have to investigate why the communication signal with earth has been interrupted.  Obviously this isn’t as easy as walking in there and flicking a switch though!

  You’ll have to contend with a variety of different enemies, obstacles and puzzles on your journey, all the while, managing both your health and your connection to the clone.

SCP - Containment Breach is set in a secret research facility containing creatures, items and places that threaten the normality of the world.   Unfortunately for you, a massive containment breach occurs and you end up alone and unarmed in the darkness with the escaped entities roaming the facility.

The game features a variety of genuinely creepy monsters, like the one in the top picture (SCP-173), an animate concrete sculpture, supernaturally fast, extremely hostile and likes snapping peoples necks.  It only moves when you’re not looking at it, a characteristic that is played up with great effect though use of the blink mechanics in the game, with the player being forced to blink every once in a while when the “blink meter” is depleted.

SCP - Containment breach is still in development so it does have some rough edges, but even now the game can be thoroughly disturbing, with a variety of well designed monsters and randomly generated levels always keeping the player on edge.  Turn down the lights and turn up the volume as you enter SCP-Containment Breach and we bet you won’t blink once, even if your character does!

Tainted Fate is a PC and Mac first person horror adventure game played with two characters in two different timelines, exploring a desolate island.  One playable character is a prisoner sentenced to live out the rest of his life on the island in the 1930′s.  The other is an amateur paranormal investigator shooting the film of her life on that very same island in 2012.

It’s still early in development, but It’s shaping up to be a great looking, creepy, horror game with some very interesting ideas.
