Mountain horror games

Horror games set on or around mountains: remote villages reached by one road, sacred peaks, mining towns and passes where the weather closes in. You climb trails, cross ridges and search old buildings far from help, and the fear comes from distance, fog, cold and the sense that the mountain itself does not want you there.
