Horror games set in a house

In these games the whole fear stays under one roof. You walk the hallways, kitchens and bedrooms of a single house, often a family home, at night and with the lights failing. Rooms shift, doors lead back where you started, and something moves in the next room. The scare is a familiar, ordinary place you know you cannot leave.
