Cult horror games on GOG

In these games a group of believers stands between you and getting out. You track down a kidnapped girl through a village of robed followers, hunt a Satanic order across the countryside, or walk the halls of a ship where a church worships a strange relic. The fear comes from crowds who act as one, rituals you do not understand, and people who will not listen to reason.
