Horror Visual Novel Games

[Meteo Xavier]

Hi there. I've recently been attached to an indie developer to do music, writing and game design work to start up a horror visual novel/point-and-click adventure game - and seeing as how I've never really gotten into those genres before (I took the job because, hey, why not, sounds fun) I'm looking for recommendations in those genres.

 

I'm already going to look at 5 Nights at Freddies, Snatcher and... I forget what the third one was. What do you recommend?

If we're talking point & click, Scratches is a very impressive example of how to do horror and atmosphere right.

I think the soundtracks of 999 and Virtue's Last Reward would fit perfectly into a horror visual novel.

I have a pretty good idea how to do the soundtracks, I'm looking to study more the game aspects of the niche and what makes gamers like it.
