Quarantine horror games

In these games a town, a city, a hotel or a single home has been sealed off after an outbreak, and you are on the inside. Food runs short, help does not come, and the people shut in with you are getting sick or turning. Some have you fighting through walled-off zones, others keep you locked indoors and let the waiting do the work.
