Cave horror games on PlayStation

In these games you go underground: caverns, mines and tunnel networks where the only light is the one you carry. The rock closes in, sound carries strangely, and whatever lives down there knows the way better than you do. Some are lonely descents, others are expeditions you survive with friends.
