Lone Survivor is a 2D sidescrolling horror game that has you playing the role of a man who is the lone survivor (ha!) of a zombie infestation that destroyed his town. It's loosely inspired by games like Silent Hill, inspirations it wears on its sleeve.

I think the game's aesthetics and sound design are worthy of that homage, but the mechanics and story... for the year it came out, it certainly must have been an impressive game, but now, it feels clunky and outdated. The twists are dull, the multiple endings are unamusing and based around equally tedious mechanics. There are more interesting horror games to play in this day and age.
