Fixed camera horror games on Steam

37 fixed camera horror games on Steam, each with a page on what frightens and a link to where it is sold. Played mainly through fixed or pre-set camera angles that cut from shot to shot as the player moves, as in the original Resident Evil, Alone in the Dark or Tormented Souls (tank controls are common but not needed). A game with one fixed-camera section, a first-person game, or an over-the-shoulder third-person game does not count.
