Obviously different setting and genre but theres a tonal similarity. So much of ICO isn't difficult, its just doing the simple puzzles protecting the girl from the weak monsters but the doing and drinking in the minimalist environments and sparse sound design is what makes the game great.

Its a lot of fun, and has that cool Anglo-Saxon feel to it, along with a couple fantastic dragon fights. Just keep in mind that it is portal fantasy of a sort, if that isn't your thing.
It's similar to how Book of the New Sun has the same kind of feel that Dark Souls does.

Auster has a very circumlocutory way of thinking combined with a dearth of interesting ideas. He takes a concept that could be a single tossed off thought in a greater artists work and slowly talks around it for an entire story. Reading his work is like being ground down by a millstone, slow and tedious and at the end you only feel pain and that your time was misspent.

The Marquez family in-game is named for Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and the devs have talked numerous times about his influence on their writing. That said, nothing I've read by him really feels quite the same as KRZ, even if his writing is great. Death of a Hired Man, too, obviously.

The book written by the devs in the same setting before they made the game, The Sacred and Terrible Air. They were also very inspired by The City and The City, which feels very DE (even if nowhere near as deep).

John of Ephesus' account of the Plague of Justinian. You can find it easily on google on an antiquarian named Roger Pearse's site. It's got tons of horrifying plague stories mixed with supernatural strangeness that would be right at home in Pathologic. Here's an example:
>When this plague was passing from one land to another, many people saw shapes of bronze boats and (figures) sitting in them resembling people with their heads cut off. Holding staves, also of bronze, they moved along on the sea and could be seen going whithersoever they headed. These figures were seen everywhere in a frightening fashion, especially at night. Like flashing bronze and like fire did they appear, black people without heads sitting in a glistening boat and travelling swiftly on the sea, so that this sight almost caused the souls of the people who saw it to expire.
