I don't know if "meta" is really the right term here.
I'm searching for games, that don't necessarily start scary, but slowly devolve into a horror game or have sudden shift in tone,
Maybe even involving shit that goes beyond the game itself like fucking with your desktop, creating new files on your computer or taking control away from you
Meta Horror Games?

Irisu Syndrome. Don't google gameplay footage before you start.

There are few, but just recommending any of them there will basically ruin the entire exercise, since you're not supposed to know that they go into horror territory at some point.
Fuck I mean you can google them, but then again it will just defeat the entire point.
I dunno man.
Sad Satan :^)

The only horror here is that waste of trips. Undertale actually does technically do spooks right, playing on the fear of unknown rather than jumpscares, but it's only for one ~20-minute segment, and it's all ultimately family-friendly haunted house shit anyway. He said he wants horror.
Wew
There is one more horror in that game. The concept of Flowey.
Too bad he ditched the entire fucking character after he made the demo for "le funni skeleton pun man XD."
i don't know if it counts because they were horror games to begin with, but fatal frame 3 and silent hill 4 do something i really like with their "safe room" mechanics where over the course of the game they get more and more fucked up until they're just as dangerous as the outside world, if not more so
