City horror games on PlayStation

Horror games set in a city: quarantined Los Angeles, a walled Villedor, Raccoon City in an outbreak, a half-drowned New Orleans and Oakmont. You cross streets, rooftops, sewers and districts that were full of people not long ago. The fear is in the scale of it: every alley and stalled car can hide something, help is not coming, and the way out runs through blocks you do not know.
