Robot horror games

In these games the danger is built, not born. Androids walk calmly toward you on a stricken station, security robots patrol the decks and call in more, and animatronics hunt the halls after closing. Some games put you inside the machine instead, as an android worker or a small salvage robot. What frightens is the thing that will not tire, will not reason and looks almost human.
