Brings what grabs you about Tempus Triad: dread and tension, scarce resources and survival as well as a dark atmosphere.

A claustrophobic first-person horror game set in an underground research facility, where you survive through physics-based puzzles and hiding rather than weapons. Atmosphere and fear of the unknown matter far more than combat.
