Swamp horror games on PlayStation

In these games you wade through bayous, marshes and fetid swamps where the water hides what moves in it. Fog cuts the view to a few steps, moss hangs over rotting docks and stilt villages, and every sound in the reeds could be wildlife or something hunting you. Some are slow stories of decay in the Deep South, others are fights to get out alive.
