Laboratory horror games on PlayStation

In these games you walk into a lab where something went wrong: a research base under a mansion, a facility on a far planet, a wrecked lab on the sea floor. Glass tanks hold specimens, notes from the staff hint at what they made, and what they made is still loose in the corridors. The fear comes from finding out what the work was.
