Witch horror games on GOG

In these games a witch is the threat, the owner of the house, or the reason a village turns cruel. You creep through her rooms and her forest, perform rituals to weaken her, or tiptoe past one crying in the dark. The fear is of someone who knows the place better than you do and does not play by its rules.
