I'd recommend adding something new to the game, in order to make it a new, and fresh experience for horror.
As an example, you took the caption of sound and used it to give fear to the player. That's great, and on the right direction. Although just the sound alone, will give me the bitter taste of "I've seen this before somewhere, nothing great.."
Making an idea out of an already used concept is a great way for indie developers to be seen by the public like me, who are interested in any new arising horror game. By taking the idea of sound horror, and making it so, for the sake of example, you were to say be walking down a tunnel, and hear singing from behind you. By instinct, the player would do a quick double check to make sure he was clear, but while returning his sight to the front would be frightened by something he was not expecting.
It may not be the greatest idea, or the easiest thing to make, but I'm not suggesting any great ideas here, but in the hopes someone might one day listen and come up with their own to create a satisfyingly great experience once again.
Nice environment! Not really scary though. Feels rather like an RPG, wandering in a temple of a cult with the character.
