Doctor horror games

In some of these games you are the doctor. You might be a surgeon on a first shift or a psychiatrist chasing a lost patient, or a healer sent into a town where people are dying. In others the doctor is the one coming for you, saw in hand, while you lie strapped to the chair. The fear sits in the clinic itself, in trusting someone who holds the knife.
