Came here from Jacob Geller, legitimately one of the scariest horror games I've played in a while. The first time the monster that follows you shows up is really scary, and while in the Dark Forest I was constantly thinking "I hope none of those guys show up" and then they did. But I like how up until then you were completely powerless, and then suddenly you can kill the monsters. So it does hint at there being a way to fight back. And then you actually face the boss.
