Victorian horror games on PlayStation

These games are set in the Victorian era or in worlds built from it: gaslit streets, cobbled lanes, brick factories and old mansions full of candles, damask wallpaper and gramophones. You walk dark houses, hotels and moors, read letters left behind and follow a mystery. The fear sits behind the polite surface, in locked rooms, old family secrets and what the period would not talk about.
