Horror adventure games

I'll skip that one. Zombies don't interest me much at the best of times, and they're so ridiculously overplayed now that just seeing a zombie's almost enough to make me avoid something.

Zombies, werewolves, and most particularly vampires need to go away for about ten years. Of course, if they do then someone will probably find some way to ruin Lovecraftian abominations.

Scratches is initially very promising. It has a good story, and great visuals.
Unfortunately, the game unravels into a mess of maddening illogical puzzles and pixel hunting until your eyes bleed.

I found the game quite scary at first, but due to the frustrating gameplay it started to feel like just running around some dirty old house in the dark, Looking for something, anything to progress the game. Then you just go read a faq, and spoil it

There was one more game, called The Summoning.
