Village horror games on PlayStation

Horror games set in villages: remote mountain hamlets, snowbound farms and island settlements where the locals keep to themselves or turn on you. You walk lanes between closed houses, search barns and cottages, and learn what the people here are hiding. The fear comes from being the outsider in a small place that already knows you are there.
