10 night shift horror games on GOG, each with a page on what frightens and a link to where it is sold. The player works a job as the main way to play (a night shift, a store, a security post, a delivery, a cleaning or checking routine), and the horror comes into that work. A horror game where the hero only happens to have a job, or a FNAF-style night with nothing to do but survive, does not count on that alone.
