Factory horror games

In these games you walk the floors of factories, working or long abandoned: assembly lines, canning belts, steelworks, toy and candy plants, meat processing halls. The fear comes from the machines that still run with no one at them, the noise that hides footsteps, the narrow catwalks and basements, and the sense that the place was built to turn living things into product.
