Old man horror games

In these games an old man is at the center of the fear. Sometimes he hunts you through his own house, deaf but quick with a cane or a shotgun. Sometimes he waits silently in a doorway or a living room. In a few you play him, frail and confused, in a building that turns against you. What frightens is how ordinary he looks until he moves.
