In 2000, a Resident Evil game for Game Boy Color was in development and planned for release, but was scrapped by Capcom. Now, it's been collected and is available, and by developers' guesses, is probably about 98% complete:

Here's a story about a lost game.
Haunted Memories by ParanormalDev is an atmospheric first-person horror adventure that's been removed from Steam and is now barely playable.
Originally created as a fangame and inspired by Slender: The Eight Pages, Haunted Memories would later develop on its own, more original path.
The team set out to make a free game with professional production values, and while its free-to-play first episode can still be side-loaded onto Steam by going to steam://install/241640 in a web browser, the second, no longer available as DLC, is being clandestinely distributed between fans in the game's Steam forums.
Without updates or bugfixes, Haunted Memories is increasingly unstable on modern systems, which somehow adds to its sense of mystery.
Publicly available developer and publisher information in Steam's databases indicates that the project was adopted by Madman Theory Games, a Polish developer that was later absorbed by compatriots Forever Entertainment and Megapixel Games, the studios behind the House of the Dead remakes for Sega.
I didn't have any luck in my quest to interview one of the team. It's perhaps unsurprising that people don't want to discuss the games they've ghosted.
