Hospital horror games

Horror games set in hospitals, whether the whole game or one long stretch of it. You walk dark wards past empty beds, gurneys and IV stands, search operating rooms and morgues for a way forward, and hide from whatever now walks the corridors. The fear comes from a place meant for healing that has been left to rot, where every curtain and body drawer may hide something.
