Body horror games on GOG

12 body horror games on GOG, each with a page on what frightens and a link to where it is sold. Its horror comes mainly from the body being changed, violated or taken over: mutation, transformation, parasites, infection, flesh fused or remade, creatures made from people. Gore alone (blood, wounds, dismemberment) does not count, nor does one grotesque monster in a game whose fear lies elsewhere.
