Tower horror games

In these games a tower is where the fear lives. You climb a radio mast one rung at a time, keep watch from a fire lookout above the trees, ride an elevator through an office block that never ends, or are shut in rooms at the top of a tower you are told never to leave. The height, the narrow way down and the floors you have not seen yet do the frightening.
