Fairy tale horror games on PlayStation

These games borrow the shape of old stories: a child sent into the woods, a kingdom of talking animals, red shoes that will not come off, Hansel and Gretel told on a park ride. You walk through storybook places that look gentle at first, and the fear comes from what the old tales always held under the surface: being lost, being eaten, being punished for a small mistake.
