This really isn't a genre I'm a fan of, but uhh.... ummm.... huh. I have one in mind that's a DS game that was kind of cool, but it's a huge spoiler to reveal it. Also it ended up tossing away the mystery as the story progresses which I think was kind of a mistake, but it was kind of cool how it happened I guess.
If you'll never play a sci-fi DS game I can tell you what it is I guess: Infinite Space.
It's also a really cool general sci-fi game, although it gets kind of tedious if you don't like the gameplay. I didn't like it, but I powered through because of the awesome story. People compared it to something like LoGH since it's a big space opera thing. Anyway, the TRUE SPOILER DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER IF YOU'RE MAYBE GOING TO PLAY ONE DAY: The protag goes on a typical sci-fi adventure but weird stuff starts happening and protag's recollection of events doesn't match with previous facts. I can't remember what, but they end up searching for something. There is some girl, I think it was his love interest, but I can't remember. She starts using some artifact thing to probe, uhh... something about reality and starts to bypass restrictions as warnings go off. Anyway, a REALLY creepy and well done moment happens when this regular girl is instantly turned into an empty robot shell like a marionette as a brief glimpse of skinny alien silhouettes look down. Her entire existence was erased as no one but the protag remembers her ever existing. It was an extremely well done "you are messing with powers you shouldn't" moment.
It turns out the entire universe was a microscopic creation of a higher dimensional race. The protag had a special role in that he determined the effects of quantum events of this micro universe by observing them and that's why reality seemed to shift around him. The micro universe was used to generate energy and the creators unleash weird biological warships that bypass physics as the universe gets chipped away and harvested/deleted. I don't know if this counts as cosmic horror stuff.
Maybe that's not horror, but it's the closest thing I know apart from Saya since it's not stuff I go looking for. Man, it was such a cool story. I believe the studio that made it is gone, sadly.

All I can offer is nothing. From the Neverending Story. I remember it as the first time I felt a sort of dread. Though it might seem like a cheeky trick, to give a threat infinite scale by having it be nothing. To have it be utterly unreasonable by having it be nothing. Nothing to face, nothing to imagine, indeed nothing to comprehend, just by being nothing.

The other anon already mentioned Saya no Uta, so I'll mention Otonashi Ayana from Subahibi. She gives off an otherwordly incomprehensible vibe that you may just be looking for. Some of the scenes with her really creep me out.
>>124109Gonna check this game out, thanks.

>>124161It kinda reminds me of the funny faces in western web animations. Wonder if they actually were able to cross overseas and have influence over in Japan since Niconico lost popularity.

>>124169It's not western corruption, it's a guy using proportions derpier than usual predominantly for contrast. Here the chibi looks all normal, but
>>124121 is him being menacing.
