Realistic horror game recommendations like Chilla's Art

[lilycadence]

I'm looking for more realistic/psychological horror games like Chilla's Art Parasocial and the Closing Shift. I've already played most of the Fears to Fathom games and some from Puppet Combo, which I feel are similar, the theme being that the main character is a victim of stalking, murder, among other things. I would prefer if it's a first-person walking simulator game.

Please let me know if you guys have any recommendations! :)

Chilla's art and puppet combo are kinda the go to for those kinds of horror games since a lot of other indies focus more on the surreal and experimental horror aspects which are less so grounded in reality. There are a few at the top of my head that might be something like what your after:

night ripper (puppet combo)
train depart (shipscaptain)
Rides with strangers (reflect studios)
Northbury Grove (scythe dev team)
Late night wanderer (LarrylDong)
Night watch (puppet combo)
I remember this dream (invisiblePanda)

They vary in length and quality, I'll add more to the list if I remember any!

If your ever looking to branch out in horror themes tho there are some fantastic indie games like anatomy, darkwood, the faith trilogy, who's Lila, detention and many others! I would recommend searching on indie games platforms like ichio and game jolt also as they may have more titles with stalker type enemies hidden away somewhere. Regardless I hope you find what you're looking for!

I've played / watched others play a lot of horror games! It's one of my favourite genres especially when games kinda break the mold a bit and are unique! If your ever after any other recommendations feel free to ask! I know titles from old pixel rpg titles to point and click to proper triple A releases!

I have played a few indie horror games towards the end of the last year, I don't even find them scary, I just enjoy the goofiness lol. Here are some that are worth mentioning: Tales Beyond The Tomb, Hollowbrook Apartments, Skinfreak, Uncanny Tales: 1992

You could try Voices of the Void, which is downloadable for free, and in beta on their Itch.io page. You always feel like you're being watched/stalked by someone or something, with different events complimenting the atmosphere.
