Seeking Good Murder Mystery / Horror / Slasher games?

Basically I'm wondering if there are any good games that are kind of like the Scream movie series that I don't know about. With or without sexual content.

I'm aware of and a fan of Secrets of Whispering Pines. But are there other games like this? Feels like there should be plenty of slasher games on here as the genre is already primed for everything that'd make for a successful game (drama, sex, mystery, etc.) But that's one of the few I know of.

Mystery with some horror elements is the essential thing I'm really looking for. Nothing wrong with the Ace Attorney series, for example, but it certainly wouldn't scratch this itch.

Games that fit the criteria I'm thinking of:

Secrets of Whispering Pines
Kara No Shojo
Higurashi: When They Cry
The Zero Escape series
Danganronpa
Until Dawn

As someone who loves all the games you posted (minus Whispering Pines. Haven't tried that one yet), I definitely recommend Steins;Gate. It's a great game even if you've already seen the anime. If you haven't, it's even better. No sex whatsoever, though.

Apart from that, there's AI:The Somnium Files (not on F95). It's basically a detective game with mystery elements. Not much horror, but the themes still manage to make you uncomfortable. Yet again no sexual content whatsoever.

Those games are first and foremost mystery games, not horror games. But if you enjoyed Zero Escape and Danganronpa, you definitely won't dislike those two.

Then there's Cartagra, which is the prequel to Kara No Shoujo and is, while not as good as KNS, a decent game in that genre.

This is sadly a pretty niche genre in video games and especially porn games. So we have to make do with what we have.

Unfortunately I've already played all of these games, haha. But you're definitely on the right track for what I'm looking for. Anything else to recommend that's anything like these and really good? Because if you've played these I feel we have similar tastes.

Also I definitely recommend Whispering Pines to you. It's literally the only western game with porn in it that I've played that is anything remotely like this. And it's also very good.

Mist and Deliverance I've played some of, but haven't finished. Will probably get back to them at some point. They were definitely good, but didn't completely hook me the way some other games do.

Depraved Awakening was one of the first games with 3d graphics that I tried and I really wasn't use to that yet, having mostly played more animated looking games before that point, so I dropped it super early because it was giving me an uncanny valley feeling. Now that I've played a lot more 3d games and gotten use to that I'll give it another shot.
