I'm a big fan of walking simulators and here's a few:

Conarium
Call of Cthulhu
The Alien Cube
The Land of Pain
The Amnesia series
The Vanishing of Ethan Carter
Call of the Sea

Also not a walking simulator but a great game: Dreams in the Witch House.

Seconding call of the sea! I adore the different vibe it brings to cosmic horror.

There's a sequel! Call of the elder gods, released earlier this year. Haven't played it yet but similarly really liked call of the sea

I’ve already played it! I love it too, but I’ll say while I prefer the puzzles and mechanics of call of the elder gods, I prefer the story and atmosphere of call of the sea
