The primary examples that spring to mind without googling it are:
and
However, what these games have in common that they fall more into a category of action RPGs and immersive sims/first person shooters, which are genres that are generally easier to work with if you want to make a spooky horror game. What I'm wondering, however, is whether or not you could find a more traditional, horror-themed computer RPG, or even a jRPG game, which is designed around turn-based combat, party management, dialogue trees, dungeon crawling, and all that other stuff that you'd normally associate with games like Pillars of Eternity of classic Final Fantasy.
And if a "genuinely spooky game" with these criteria is too hard of a challenge to find, heck, let's even consider RPGs that simply have a very overt horror vibe to them. They should definitely be gory and dark in tone, ideally involving some demons, ghosts and ghouls, alien monsters, etc. But it can't be just any generic fantasy RPG because you could probably find all those things in most of them, but without those games being particularly focused on the horror aspect. It would have to be a game that wears its horror influences on its sleeve, kinda like The Secret World did (I know, it was an MMO but it's the closest example that I can think of right now).
And in case it's no obvious enough, some recommendations are mostly what I'm fishing for here.
