Museum horror games

These games put you in galleries and exhibit halls after the visitors have gone. You walk past paintings, statues and glass cases, solve the puzzles the rooms hide and watch for anything that has moved. The fear comes from the quiet and from things built to be looked at that seem to be looking back.
