Horror games with a radio on PlayStation

In these horror games a radio is how the outside world reaches you. A voice guides you through a mine, a caller begs for help, a tuner picks up broadcasts and signals that hold clues. You often cannot see who is talking or know if they can be trusted, and static, silence and a voice that stops answering do much of the frightening.
