Cry of Fear. It's free, and it's on Steam. It's pretty much a first person Silent Hill set in Stockholm.

Afraid of Monsters: Director's Cut is an earlier work from the same team (the founder of which made the original version of AoM when he was just 14) -- it's a little uglier, a little harder, and you need a copy of Half-Life 1 which goes for about $10 on Steam these days but if you can put up with its foibles it's still one of the scariest games I've ever played.

While the Thief series of games doesn't have a focus on horror (it's a stealth game centered around breaking into noblemen's houses and stealing all their shit) it is host to some genuinely scary, disturbing and creepy experiences, culminating in The Cradle, which is pretty much a love letter to Session 9. The original trilogy can be had on gog.com or Steam, and the new one (which I haven't played) is going for fairly cheaply on Steam last I checked.

Silent Hill 1, 2 and 3 are classics by this point, though I caution against getting the HD remakes of 2 and 3 -- they really, really dropped the ball on those. Which is a shame because Silent Hill 2 remains one of my favourite games ever made.

The Last Of Us tends to follow more in the vein of Silent Hill 2 in that it's melancholy mixed with horror. It's definitely a horror game, but it mixes up dealing with clickers with dealing with bandits, raiders, and other people with guns who want to kill you and take your stuff (and possibly eat you.) And it's very pretty.
