I replayed PE last year because it reminded me of the pandemic, and I don't think I ever loved it as much as I did during that playthrough. The friggin' music especially.

A great rec to go along with PE is another Survival Horror-RPG, Koudelka. The combat is turn-based strategy but it leans more heavily into survival horror than even PE does, you have to conserve weapons for harder enemies otherwise you will be fucked. It has an amazing story too with well-detailed character personalities (Koudelka herself should be a survival horror icon if you ask me), and the story is sort of a mix of medieval Gothic fantasy and Lovecraft. You might know this but it's also the first game in the Shadow Hearts series.

I'm also going to throw out a rec for Hellnight (Dark Messiah in Japan). It's first-person and there's no combat, you go through maze maps avoiding monsters while also solving puzzles. It's like a very proto Amnesia or Outlast but I think the atmosphere is creepy and the story is interesting, with occult-leanings.

If your're ever looking for more I have a list of every horror game for PS1 right here (it's part of a larger list of almost every horror game ever):

I've decided to put my fears behind me. I'm not going back.
