Another thing that TCR missed in terms of creating a scary game was isolating a lot of their horror in unforgettably terrifying areas. This is very different from making an overall horror setting. Unless you've experienced it yourself, there is no dread comparable to the feeling that you've got to go back down to the storage because you missed something the first time you went there (I had to explore for quite a while to make the explosive). By using a non-linear progression structure, players will be urged to:

a) Explore every minute detail in each area so that they don't miss anything, thus forcing them to go to places where they know monsters are lurking;

b) Fear the thought of returning to places they really hate because they might've missed something (storage / choir).
