Lake horror games on PlayStation

Horror games set on and around lakes: a cabin by a forest jetty, a hotel on an island reached by rowboat, black water crossed on a maze of bridges. You row out, search the shore and solve what the place hides. The fear is in the water itself, still and dark, with no telling what lies at the bottom or what it has already taken.
