Police station horror games

A police station should be the safe place to run to. In these games it is dark, locked down or already overrun. You search offices and cell blocks for keys and clues, watch station cameras through a night shift, or hide behind evidence counters while something walks the room. The fear comes from a building meant for order that no longer protects anyone.
