What if Sherlock Holmes met Resident Evil? Well, here you go:
Curse: Eye of Isis.
No, it’s not actually Sherlock Holmes battling bioweapons, but you do play as a 19th-century detective investigating the theft of an Egyptian artifact at a British museum—only to stumble onto undead monsters that want you very, very dead.
You get to choose between two detectives: Dr. Darien Dane or his assistant, Victoria Sutton. They even have different scenarios, though, let’s be honest, you’ll be hunting for keys and weapons either way. Expect plenty of zombies. And mummies. Lots of mummies.
This one’s ancient by gaming standards—2003—so you’re dealing with the classic fixed camera angles and tank controls that defined survival horror back then.
Reviews were meh when it came out, but since nobody really makes games like this anymore, I’d wager a lot of people today would actually get a kick out of it. Sure, the controls are a little wonky, but it’s easy to pick up and play.
Tormented Souls is very creepy. I found it while looking for more Resident Evil alternatives, but honestly RE seems like a walk in the park compared to this.

Check out Tormented Souls for more classic resident evil fix
It’s made by a small team and takes place in Canada. It’s got a nice Suzanne Easter egg too! (Blender mascot)

I have this one, installed it on my Steam Deck – but I’ve yet to boot it up.
Do it! Played it last year on my ps5 with my SO and they really liked the story and the fixed camera as a viewer.
