Soldier horror games on GOG

In these games you are a soldier, a marine or an armed agent sent in to deal with something, or you hide from soldiers who hold the ground. Guns and training help less than they should: squads get split up, ammunition runs low, and the thing waiting in the tunnels, labs or quarantine zones does not fight like an enemy army.
