Snow horror games on GOG

In these games the cold is part of the threat. You wade through deep snow at night, cross frozen harbours and blizzard-swept ice, or hide in a mountain lodge while something moves among the pines. Snow muffles sound, hides what is ahead and leaves tracks behind you, and help is always far away.
