Internet horror games on GOG

In these games the horror lives online. You read old forum threads, follow a link a friend sent, scroll a stranger's social feed or wait on an instant message that should not have arrived. The fear comes from what people post, what they hide behind a username and how a screen of text can pull you somewhere you did not mean to go.
