[UA] Something Nasty Under the Stairs

Very nice...  One thing it reminds me of is the video game Silent Hill (for Playstation) which also involves a lot of horrific weirdness in an abandoned hospital (then again, so does a really bad horror movie I saw.  On the other hand, Silent Hill is good).  SH is the one video game I've seen that seemed right for UA, focusing as it did more on mood and avoiding combat (because combat was fairly deadly even on the easy modes) than slaughtering monsters (mention various pseudo-horror games here).  Your main character is basically unskilled with a gun, so has a good chance of missing, whih ties nicely with UA's focus on failure, and corresponding low skill levels.  

The actual events of the game sort of match an old list discussion of the 4A.M., but not exactly.
