Maze horror games on GOG

In these games the place itself is the trap. You walk corridors that look alike, through dungeons, cellars, mansions and labyrinths that are often built anew each run, while something hunts you inside them. The fear is of losing your way: a wrong turn, a dead end, footsteps getting closer and no map that tells you which way is out.
