Horror walking simulators on PlayStation

13 horror walking simulators on PlayStation, each with a page on what frightens and a link to where it is sold. Exploring on foot and taking in the story is the main way to play, with little or no combat, chasing or failure, as in Layers of Fear, The Exit 8 or Fears to Fathom. A game whose play is mainly hiding from or fleeing a hunter, solving many puzzles, or fighting does not count, nor does a visual novel.
