Horror games about angels

In these games the angels are rarely kind. You meet one caged to run a machine, one that asks to be hurt before it will carry you, a statue with no face, a voice in a nun's head that says it is her guardian. The fear comes from something holy turning out to be strange, hungry or cruel, and from never quite knowing what it wants from you.
