Observo is a pretty short horror game that is faithful to the classics (except without tank controls). It has fixed cameras, fun puzzle solving, and a rich atmosphere. I definitely enjoyed it, it scratched the old school horror itch perfectly.

But I really enjoyed the exploration and puzzle solving, totally worth a playthrough (about 4 hours for me).
