Claustrophobic horror games that trap you in tight spaces

Wishlist on SteamThe Power of Limitation
Iron Lung proves that less is more in horror. By removing your ability to see, move freely, or escape, the game forces your imagination to create terrors far worse than any monster design could achieve.
