Other great Survival Horror games?

One game i'm surprised no one mentioned on this board.

Nosferatu: The wrath of Malakai.

First time I played this game, I literally screamed like a little girl. It's REALLY hard to beat this game in terms of actually scaring the S**T out of you (and i've played nearly every game on this list, only other one that compares is penumbra, and I'd honestly say nosferatu is scarier). First, your playing against a clock to save your family. 2nd, the levels are generated EVERY time you start a new game, so no run through is the same everytime. 3rd, ITS SCARY AS HELL, i've never beaten it, and each run through only lasts two hours, so there ya go.

Another game I'd throw onto the list which is totally a left field indie game is a small game called...

Derelict (it's also completely free)

It's a tiny little game (under 22mbs), but its an FPS that requires DX8 as i recall. The closest thing I could compare it to would be a cross between X-com and System shock. You play as 5 different characters as part of a squad. (assault soldier, engineer, medic, comm officer, demolitions). Each one of the classes has a different specialty (assault has infinite ammo, engineer can hack doors and computer terminals, medic heals the squad and doesnt take poison damage, comm officer has a movement tracker ala aliens, demolitions blows stuff up and can stop enemy teleporters). You play as all 5 of these players the entire game, trying to find out what happened on your ship while your team was on the surface of a planet. The story is very system shockesque, and the title is very low budget, but for free, and for a decent sense of atmosphere and some genuine scares, it cant really be beat. Next version is going to have 5 player co-op and better graphics.
