Horror games set in a storm on GOG

In these games a storm is what traps you. A typhoon empties a school, a storm blocks the only road out, a gale lashes an oil rig in the North Sea, thunder keeps the guests of a country house inside. The rain hides footsteps, the lightning shows shapes for a second, and there is no going home until it passes.
