During the Steam sale, I got Stasis, a point-and-click isometric sci-fi horror adventure game. It has about the same level of gore as Dead Space, but rather than being on the ship as things get terrible, you're there after all the terrible things occurred. The story does a good job of justifying how items can get lost, but there is a lot of text to read if you want to solve the puzzles because there are PDA's scattered around the ship that builds the lore through data logs.
"There's no way to escape, so I'mma try to swim past the bio-develop vats and reach the exit." In the next room, between you and the exit, is a collapsed bridge that sinks into a vat containing a chunky, putrid and gray liquid. Around the floor of the exit, there are several desperate bloody hand prints that can be seen getting dragged back into vat's gaping maw. ...Something's floating in the middle of it.
On a lighter note, there's Aviary Attorney, an Ace Attorney game that uses 19th century black and white lithographs for all the art, and the main character is a falcon lawyer. How cool is that?!
Since all the characters are animals, along with the use of classical orchestrated music, there's this sort of fairy-tale like quality to it that I find very charming, even if most of the trials involve murder. The game doesn't hold your hand when gathering evidence, so it's possible to enter a trial without a critical piece of the puzzle, but the game continues even if you fail a case and get a guilty verdict, thus offering multiple endings. It's about 3/4's the length of a Phoenix Wright game if you're only playing for one ending.
