Sewer horror games

These games send you below the street into flooded tunnels, brick pipes and drains. You wade through dark water with little light and narrow passages that hide what waits ahead. Some fill the sewers with zombies and mutated things, while others use them as a quiet, lonely place where you follow a sound into the dark.
