Alien horror games on PlayStation

In these games the threat comes from somewhere else: a creature that came aboard with the salvage, a signal from another planet, a whole world made of bone and metal. You hide in vents and lockers, listen for movement and try to understand something that does not think like you. What frightens is how little you know about what is hunting you, and how much better it knows the dark.
