Atmospheric games. What're your recommendations for anyone?

A great example, its probably aged badly, but its oozes atmosphere.
Plenty of mods available, but I suppose most of those can only do so much. Worthwhile taking a look at if you haven't already, though.

Cry of Fear
Layers of Fear

Just checked it out on TB's footage. May keep an eye out for that on sales.
Yep, been contemplating this. Not overly keen on all the stuff on screen when near puzzles, but I've heard everyone raving about the audio side of things
Can't believe I forgot to put System Shock2 in my list
Easily done with so many to choose from.

Just under two hours in and getting a refund. Same activities several times repeated for the entirety of the game from what i can see. The reviews are clearly coming from people who haven't delved deeper into the game than past the intro.

I found this to be very atmospheric with a nice sense of exploration.

Thief series, bags of atmosphere. Silent Hill 2 still stands out to me as one of the most atmospheric games ive ever played.

Cry of Fear is so tense throughout the entire game - it may look a bit dated now but it takes nothing away from the game. I just completed it myself for the first time a couple of months back and it's in my top 5 horror games for invoking feelings of sheer terror. It's also free to download from Steam by the way...
I've been playing that this weekend, can definitely recommend. Wouldn't have even been on my radar if Jim Sterling hadn't given it a 1/10 for that bug he encountered.
