Tentacle horror games on PlayStation

In these games the threat reaches for you. Tentacles burst out of infected heads, coil up from the sea, push through farmland and trail from things that crawl out of the dark. Some are monsters you shoot or run from, others belong to old gods glimpsed at the edge of a flooded town or a distant moon. What frightens is the grip: limbs that move on their own, too many of them, and never quite still.
