Lighthouse horror games on PlayStation

In these games a lighthouse is where the horror waits: you keep its lamp lit through the night, climb it in search of a missing keeper, or find it standing over a fogbound shore. Cut off by the sea, with one beam of light against the dark water, you listen for what comes in with the tide and wonder what the last keeper saw.
