Horror Adventure Games List and Meta Score

I absolutely love the adventure horror game genre. There is nothing better than gaming in when the weather is cold and dismal outside *queue Thunderstorm here too please*; getting completely absorbed into an eerie game with the company of a good hot coffee!
Jump scares, horrifying revelations and journeys down the rabbit hole, in no particular order, some games in this genre...
(Some I have played and others I am still getting too)

Time has no meaning, as the sun sets low across the landscape. Stranded on the lonely road, which leads up to the Barrow, you must make your way through the trees, and darkening landscape, and out onto the Barrow itself. Following in the footsteps of the well-known archaeologist, Conrad Morse, you will discover that the barrow is more than just a mound of earth and a collection of forgotten standing stones. However, not all archaeology is constructive, for some things should be left buried and undisturbed. Perhaps it is too late for that...
