Diner horror games

In these games the scare sits in a roadside diner or a family restaurant after closing time. You wait out a storm in a booth, cook for the last customers of the night or walk past red booths while something moves in the kitchen. The counter and the checkered floor should feel safe, and the hum of the lights is often the only company you get.
