Underworld horror games

In these games you cross into a land of the dead or something like it: Helheim, purgatory, a limbo inside paintings, a hotel for lost souls, a pit you are thrown into. You walk its roads, solve its rules and face whatever rules it, often with the hope of getting back out. The fear is in a place that was never meant for the living and does not want you to leave.
