Horror games with priests

In these games a priest is the one holding the crucifix or the one to be afraid of. Some put you in the cassock, hearing confessions or driving out what has taken hold of a house. Others set a priest in your way: a village pastor who knows more than he says, a preacher in a cathedral, a cult leader who speaks in the language of faith. The fear is in not knowing if prayer protects anyone.
