Horror games set in mines on GOG

Horror games that send you underground: abandoned shafts, sealed coal mines and mining facilities where the only light is what you carry. The tunnels narrow, the way back is hard to find, and whatever else is down there knows the dark better than you do. Some of these games spend their whole length below ground, others go down for a level or a chapter.
