Being totally defenseless has its drawbacks. I'd like to see a game where the player has a chance to stand their own. When faced with an enemy, you would have a choice to run or engage them. This would present a fight-or-flight confrontation and make every encounter even more intense. Sadly, I've never seen horror games give the player that choice. It's either kill all enemies, or run from them.
You don't have any headphones at all? For horror games, I would at least recommend getting a cheap pair (~$20). You'd be surprised just how much a difference sound makes. Give this a watch if you think I'm exaggerating:
I felt my heart physically spasm at 1:04 the first time I saw this. Granted, it was in 720p in-game and I was quite drunk.
I still say give Dead Space a chance. Having guns doesn't impact the horror aspect as much as you might think. Plus, you implied you scare easily. This would be a great introduction to the genre, and for iirc $4 on the Steam Store/ $7 GameStop, you really can't go wrong.
Most importantly, worry more about immersing yourself in the game more than doing good at it. Pretend you are the character.
