Horror games set in ruins on GOG

These horror games send you through places that have already fallen: temples and carved stone buried under sand, ice or sea, and towns and cities left broken and overgrown. You pick through collapsed rooms and old passages with little light, and the fear is in what still lives there and in what happened to the people who built it.
