Kidnapping horror games on PlayStation

In these games someone has been taken. A friend, a sister or a stranger is held by a captor, or you wake up locked in yourself. You search the captor's house, school or island for keys and a way out, hide when footsteps come near, and try to get the captive out before the kidnapper catches you or moves them somewhere you cannot follow.
