Time travel horror games on PlayStation

In these games the past is a place you can walk into. You step through a mirror, a rift or a ball pit and find the same rooms years earlier, then carry what you learned back to the present. The fear comes from places that are familiar but wrong, and from knowing that what you change in one time can make the other worse.
