Basement horror games on PlayStation

In these games the worst part of the house is under it. You go down narrow stairs or a ladder into a dark cellar of stone walls, pipes and locked doors, looking for a key, a way out or something that lives there. The light is poor, the way back up is the only exit, and whatever waits below hears you coming.
