Horror games with traps on PlayStation

In these games the danger is not only the thing hunting you but what it has left on the floor. Bear traps wait in dark hallways, tripwires ring bells that bring the killer running, and whole rooms close in or lash out. You learn to watch where you step, and in some of them you can set traps of your own to slow down what follows you.
