Forgot to respond to the comment about Shadow Hearts.
I liked Shadow Hearts but I agree that it's not really a horror game. Koudelka has more emphasis on horror so you could try that.

We're going back a bit here, but honestly the best horror RPG (and it's not a genre with a huge number of entries) for me is Sweet Home on the NES.

Sweet Home is my true and honest answer

Sure it isn't pic related?
Great game, by the way.

>I can literally give you 10 reasons why it's the best game ever without even thinking about it.
You'd pretty much have to not think about it to list any reasons at all.
