[P.T.] do you ever think about how one of the most influential and legendary horror games of the 21st century was a demo for a game that never even came out

Niamh Vibes
its so weird

Quinn Angstrom
like PT clones are a whole GENRE now

Quinn Angstrom
based on a DEMO

Beans
and now it's not allowed to exist

Quinn Angstrom
I think the game ceasing to exist honestly did a lot for its mystique

oh i'm scary
probably but also like

oh i'm scary
it is wildly scary

Quinn Angstrom
YEAH

Quinn Angstrom
it's a fucking masterpiece

oh i'm scary
I fucking had to put it down after a few cycles

Quinn Angstrom
scarier than most entire horror games

Quinn Angstrom
in half an hour

oh i'm scary
it makes a hallway in a normal house at night have like

oh i'm scary
the most oppressive atmosphere of dread I've ever seen in my life

Quinn Angstrom
I was talking to badge earlier about my absolute favorite bit of environment design in PT

hot bear summer
what actually was PT anyway? i heard ppl talk a lot about it and then it got canceled? but i dont play horror games so i never looked into it

Quinn Angstrom
hot bear summer
it was going to be "Silent Hills"

oh i'm scary
it was supposed to be a demo for a SIlent Hill game made by Hideo Kojima and Guillermo del Toro

oh i'm scary
which Konami kiled due to being Konami

Quinn Angstrom
but then Kojima happened yeah

Quinn Angstrom
anyway the best bit of environment design is

oh i'm scary
and then they pulled the demo from every place you could download it

Quinn Angstrom
the coat rack in the corner of entryway

Quinn Angstrom
it never DOES anything

Quinn Angstrom
but out of the corner of your eye

Quinn Angstrom
it looks KIND of like someone's standing in that corner

Quinn Angstrom
every single time you turn that corner

hot bear summer
huh

"THIS IS TAKING YEARS OFF OF MY LIFE"

and think about the fact this was only going to be part of the gameplay. At least from what I recall there would be more traditional Silent Hill town sections

Axe Goth Real?
One of the trailers and the very end of PT suggested as much.

Axe Goth Real?
Though sometimes I find myself thinking about that one, surprisingly well put together fan theory that Kojima knew Silent Hills wasn't going to happen and PT was basically him fucking with Konami real hard as he got pushed out the door.

Quinn Angstrom
I've seen some wild next level takes about PT's hidden meanings

Axe Goth Real?
P.T.'s Hidden Meaning
the theory in question.

Axe Goth Real?
It leans a bit on anonymous sources but one of them is from a book by a pretty well known games journalist and Bob has a bunch of videos on his and Voidburger's channels where he talks to a lot of former Konami staff so if someone was going to have anonymous dirt...

Quinn Angstrom
I was iffy on it until the reveal that Lisa means 'fox' in Russian
