Phone horror games on PlayStation
In these horror games a phone is how the fear reaches you. You answer calls from frightened strangers, dial numbers out of an old phone book, read texts that tell you where to go, or light a dark room with a mobile screen. The voice on the line is often all you have, and you cannot always see what the caller is describing, or who sent the last message.
