Horror games about artificial intelligence on GOG

In these games a machine mind is close by. Sometimes it is the enemy, a station computer that watches every corridor and talks to you while you hide. Sometimes it is the guide or the employer, giving orders in a calm voice you are not sure you should trust. The fear is of something that thinks, sees everything and does not care what happens to you.
