Aliens total conversion for Doom was quite creepy, for its time. Supposedly a gaming company even tried to hire the creator. I'd say it doesn't hold up today though.

#12/r/backrooms is an excellent subreddit devoted to real-life examples of this trope. It's surprisingly creepy.

#17No mention at all of either House of Leaves or The Library of Babel? Bah.
Not even the term “Liminal spaces”¹ is used.

#18This reminds me of a truly creepy corridor game: Advanced Dungeons and Dragons for the Intellivision.

It freaked me out so much as a kid in the 90s. Still uncomfortable to play :)
