Rule Horror: I Am the Boundless Lord of the Eerie

Can't We Get a Proper Rules Horror Story? The Protagonist Needs to Have a Brain!!!!

Rules-based horror stories, but can the protagonist please have a brain?!!! Don't make them rely purely on a golden finger. If you like power fantasies, that's fine, but please don't recommend them here unless they actually fit!

Rule-Based Horror Stories (Nothing Mindless)

The protagonist should be an ordinary person, but cautious and clever. Not the type who recklessly charges in and wipes out monsters, or who acts mindlessly and ignores the rules.
