Amnesia horror games on GOG

In these games you wake up without your past. A dark room, a sealed building, a bathroom floor, a crash site: you do not know how you got there or who you were, and the place around you seems to know more than you do. You piece it together from notes, diaries and rooms, and the fear is in what you might find out about yourself.
