1) Alone in the Dark, originally known as "Alone in the Dark 5" and "Alone in the Dark: Near Death Investigation", is the fifth installment of the survival horror video game series under the same name created by Infogames.
The game will be released on PC, Xbox 360, Wii and PlayStation 2 in June 2008 in Europe, with North America following in June as well. The PlayStation 3 version has been delayed until "Fall 2008", but this version will be specially adapted for the console and will get exclusive episodic content. All projects are being developed by Eden Games, but the PS2 and Wii versions are being created alongside by Hydravision Entertainment.
"Alone In The Dark" is a series of survival horror games from Infogames. In most of the series, the gamer plays as private investigator Edward Carnby, who usually goes to investigate a haunted mansion or town that is full of undead creatures. The story is based on the writings of H. P. Lovecraft, although later games in the series drew inspiration from other sources including Voodoo, the Wild West, and the works of H.R. Giger. Though many credit the popular Resident Evil game series for creating the 3D survival horror genre, Alone In The Dark was actually the first 3D survival horror game when released for the PC in 1992.

2) The Fatal Frame series, I - IV. (Playstation 2)
Hailing from the survival horror genre, it is a series of weird Japanese supernatural games.
*** Supposedly, the game is based around the true story and legends surrounding Himuro Mansion in Japan. The mansion is rumored to be the gruesome death site of a Japanese family and several of its associates a few decades ago. However, when asked, Makoto Shibata, the series producer, said the game was based on two old Japanese urban legends and ghost stories; he made no mention of the previous tales of the Himuro mansion murders, which brings into question the factuality of this previous 'basis' for the true story. It is also worth noting that the game was not explicitly advertised as being based on a true story in Japan, and that the "based on a true story" tag line was not used until Tecmo released the game outside of Japan.
Makoto Shibata described the inspiration for the game’s haunted house, "In an area outside Tokyo, there lies a mansion in which it’s said seven people were murdered in a grisly manner. On the same property, there lie three detached residences that surround the mansion, all of which are rumored to have ties to the mansion’s troubled past. It’s said there is an underground network of tunnels that lay beneath the premises, but nobody knows who made these tunnels or what purpose they served. Many inexplicable phenomenon have been reported occurring on the property. Bloody hand prints have been found splattered all over the walls. Spirits have been spotted on the premises… even in broad daylight. A narrow stairway leads to an attic where a spirit-sealed talisman is rumored to be locked away. Men have sought this talisman, only to be found later with their bodies broken and rope marks around their wrists. There’s a crumbling old statue of a woman in a kimono, but its head is missing. If you take a photo of a certain window, a young girl can be seen in the developed picture. These incidents have provoked fear in the people of Tokyo, and many believe that those who live near this area will become cursed. The deaths of those seven people are unexplained to this day." ***
