Computer horror games on PlayStation

In these games the fear sits behind a screen. You type into an old terminal, read mail on a 1990s office PC, dig through the folders of a stranger's computer or answer a chat window that should be empty. The desktop looks ordinary, which is the point: a file that should not be there, a program that answers back or a window that will not close.
