Apocalypse horror games on PlayStation

In these games the world has already ended, or is ending while you play. Most are set after a zombie outbreak, in sealed cities and empty country where a few survivors scavenge for food, ammunition and a way out. What frightens is how little is left: every supply run can be the last, the dead outnumber you, and the people still alive are not always safe either.
