The Thing
Computer Artworks’ The Thing probably isn’t the first game to come to mind when thinking about PS2 horror games. As a sequel to John Carpenter’s film, it offered the “fear/trust” system where NPCs reacted in different ways based on whether or not they thought the player was a “Thing.” Its play-time, mechanics and controls were criticized but it still sold one million units. Unfortunately, after Computer Artworks went into receivership, the sequel was canceled and the series forgotten in the aftermath.
