Horror games about depression on PlayStation
In these games the horror grows out of a low mind. You play people who have stopped leaving the house, who carry guilt or grief, or who meet others worn down by it, and the monsters, rooms and chores take the shape of that weight. What frightens is how familiar it can feel: the slow drain of will, the isolation, and the thoughts that turn against you.
