Television horror games on PlayStation

In these games the television is never just furniture. Old CRT sets hiss with static, children's show hosts talk back from the screen, and broadcasts carry messages or open onto other places. You watch, change channels and step through screens, and the fear comes from what looks back at you from the glass.
