Space station horror games

These games put you aboard a station in orbit or on a distant moon after something has gone wrong. The crew is missing or dead, the systems fail one by one, and help is a long way off. You search corridors, labs and crew quarters for a way out, with nowhere to run but deeper in and only the hull between you and the vacuum.
