Plague horror games on PlayStation

Horror games set during an outbreak: a medieval plague, a fever emptying an island, a contagion moving through a town street by street, or an infection that turns people into something else. You walk through quarantined districts, ration medicine, check the sick and watch the spread. The fear is slow and close: anyone could be next, and there is never enough time or cure for everyone.
