Golgotha Dread in the dark tunnels

In 1942, a toxic fog rolled into Black Waters Station and killed thousands of people who had sheltered there from the war, asleep in the tunnels and platforms. The authorities sealed the doors and wrote the place off. It reopened in 2003, closed again after freak accidents and unexplainable deaths, and has sat undisturbed for over twenty years. Now you are the one walking in. The game hands you this history as you go, and the empty grounds carry it: every tunnel and platform you cross is a place where the story already happened, badly.

Black Waters Station is large, and getting through it takes real searching. You look for security cards, keys and other items to unlock your path towards the exit, with a lantern and dim lights as your only guide. There is no combat to fall back on: if something goes wrong down there, your options are to move, hide or keep walking and hope. The horror here is built from atmosphere rather than fights, with realistic sound design and disturbing imagery doing the heavy lifting. Cutscenes and discoverable items along the way fill in what the station does not say out loud.
