Faith: The Unholy Trinity

It’s an 8-bit horror game. Not sure if this is what you are looking for. I definitely recommend it if you are not put off by 8-bit graphics.

As in I wake up as the character or wake up in the same place as them as the character?

Last game I played was Green Hell, so if I wake up in the Amazon, I think I’ll be dead pretty quickly.

If I just wake up as Jake, I should be okay if I didn’t go to sleep with worms, parasites, leeches, poisoned or a bite by a venomous creature.

Sidenote: Is venomed a real word?

Have you seen Underspace? Its almost a spiritual successor to Freelancer. Take Freelancer and add Eldritch horrors and you have Underspace. IIt’s still in Early Access but definitely scratches the itch.
