Ever been freaked out by an empty hotel hallway, especially late at night? Is that bucket of ice really worth leaving the security of your room? In Al-exe's first-person horror The Corridor, players wake up from a sense of unexplained anxiety, leave their room, and find themselves in a dark, long hallway. The hotel slowly turns into an endless maze of walls that forebode something sinister. They then must go deeper into the darkness to escape.

SILENT HILLS: PT
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silent_Hills
((No game link as on PlayStation store and has since been removed))
P.T. begins with an unknown protagonist waking up in a mysterious house which eventually becomes haunted in a first-person gameplay style. The demo showcases the realistic graphics of the Fox Engine. The demo intentionally features no blatant Silent Hill references (aside from "Lisa" written on a wall), as to not prematurely expose the reveal. At the end of the demo, the protagonist wakes up in Silent Hill.
INSERT TITLE HERE
http://www.moddb.com/games/insert-title-here
This "game" hasn't got any story or plot, any characters, any enemies ... "Insert Title Here" is an interactive experiment in which you will decide what path to choose, how to react ... something innovative which is always nice to try. This experiment will play with you, "talk" with you and put you into a mix of various game genres.
All of these games have a similar theme to them, dark corridors that seem to go on forever (with slender you are directed around via a path and trees acting almost as a corridor, the areas are dark and intimidating especially as a child character in Baby Blues Out of all the games I feel that Insert Title here is one I find that suits what I'm doing, its very psychological and features the corridor and doesn't offer you anywhere to go except forward. It also forces you to make choices!
I also really love P.T having played it it definitely done what it intended to do, scared the pants off of me! I really like the way it looks!
"In an interview, Kojima later mentioned that P.T. was intended to take players at least a week to find the solution and expressed surprise that it was finished on the same day as its release. He chose the corridor as the setting of P.T. instead of "a ruin", because he wanted the teaser to emotionally affect the player regardless of "cultural background". Kojima wanted fear from an inescapable world with very minimal information to affect the player."
This is what I want to achieve in my level, that a corridor has no culture or identity behind it, therefor it would be more relate-able to the player in that it could be their corridor or a family members they are following.
