Apartment horror games on GOG

Horror games set in apartment blocks and the flats inside them. You search your own rooms and your neighbours' doors, climb dim stairwells and walk narrow corridors where every door hides a stranger's home. The fear comes from a place meant to be private and safe: thin walls, odd tenants, noises from the flat next door and nowhere else to go.
