Curse horror games on PlayStation

In these games a curse sets the story moving: a camera, a music box or a chair that should never have been touched, a mark that kills whoever carries it, or a hex laid on a whole town or island. You investigate where it came from, follow the rules it sets and try to break it or pass it on before it runs its course, and the fear is in knowing the deadline is real.
