What are some good games like that? I'm not a big fan of the jump scare horror games, so I tend to ignore most horror games on principle, but the genre is still fun when I find a gem.

Not exactly what you're asking for, but Subnautica slowly builds on a primal fear without resorting to jump scares. It's increasingly unsettling and you start finding excuses to just stay in your habitat to decorate instead of going outside. Possibly the best horror game I've played.

Life is strange has elements of it (think Butterfly Effect: the game) during parts of the game, although it gets pretty explicit rather than subtle.

Oxenfree also has elements of it, with people behaving weirdly etc. But it also mostly gets fairly explicit. Still, no jumpscares.

The beginning of Subnautica is already too intense for me. And you think I'm going to swim over to the creepy shipwreck!? FUCK no. Game over.

Heh, I don't know that I would have put subnautica in that category, but I can see where you're coming from on that one.

I might check out life is strange, thanks!

FEAR, no I'm not kidding.

Try playing voices of the void. It's free and it has quite a bit of psychological/supernatural horror stuff
