Lantern horror games on GOG
In these games a lantern is often all that stands between you and the dark. You watch its oil run down, hunt for jars and flasks to keep it burning, and decide when to shut it off so nothing sees you. Beyond its small circle of light, corridors, caves and old houses stay black, and what waits there is only heard until it is close.
