Dystopian horror games on GOG

Horror games set in societies gone wrong: sunken utopias, quarantine zones under curfew, corporate cities and regimes that rule through cameras and propaganda. You move through places built to control the people in them, read the posters and orders they left behind, and learn what the order cost while something worse waits in the halls.
