Skeleton horror games on PlayStation

Skeletons turn up in these games in many forms: grinning soldiers that march at you, bones lining the halls of a crypt, remains slumped in a dead village, and skeleton hosts and neighbours who chat with you before things turn. Some are cute and some are grim, but each one is a reminder of what is left of us after death.
