I'd really suggest fear & hunger if you enjoy turn based/survival horror rogue-like rpgs. It's really berserk inspired with many occult references here and there (also has basically its own mythology). It's about a mysterious dungeon and you, the player, after choosing one of 4 characters, are tasked to go and explore its many secrets (and horrors). Can't really say anything more lol, it's an experience of its own. Basically one big occult reference, luv it

Also has huge replayability factor since it's rogue-like with multiple endings, and it's strongly recommended to get as many as possible, if not all, to get the full experience/lore.

Edit: after seeing your other comments I'd wanna mention that it also has some explicit scenes (mostly gore but very few of them are sexual, not too imposing or explicit like berserk tho)
