Nun horror games

In these games a nun is the threat, or stands close to it. Most put you in a boarding school, a convent or an old house and send a woman in a habit after you, so you hide in lockers, listen for footsteps and slip past her down the halls. Others make the nun one ghost among many, or a quiet host whose kindness feels wrong.
