Survival horror games on Linux

26 survival horror games on Linux, each with a page on what frightens and a link to where it is sold. You survive a threat with scarce resources: limited ammunition or items, inventory and saves, hiding or fleeing more than fighting. An action shooter set among zombies, where you are well armed, is not survival horror.
