CloseThe Long Dark

You are utterly alone, and you only have yourself to rely on for survival.
In The Long Dark, there are two instances of fog; there is the glimmer fog and the heavy fog. Glimmer fog is when there is electrostatic energy that messes with your gadgets. The heavy fog, though, is something straight out of The Mist. It's nearly impossible to navigate through and can cause disorientation, making travel even harder.
3 Days Gone

They will sacrifice anyone who disagrees with their ideology, which sounds a lot like Mrs. Carmody and her frantic sermons and ideas in The Mist.
