P.T.

There's not much stuff out there that scares me, much less interests me when it comes to horror. This demo, however, was absolutely an exception.

If you're looking to watch someone play it while being able to hear their reactions, Game Grumps (you can find them on YouTube) is definitely the way to go! If you're looking to watch a full playthrough with no commentary, there is a good 40-minute one also on YouTube!

It might have been just a demo but still worth talking about

Positives:

• Atmosphere
• Psychological elements
• Presentation
• Concepts and themes

Negatives:

• The fact that it was cancelled

Yeah, it's really disappointing that Silent Hills never actually came into fruition, but the fact that the freaking demo is a legitmatley great game on its own definitely helps ease the pain.

Let's get this out of the way - Konami sucks. It sucks that the full game died under the Kojima- Konami fallout, because of all the things this trailer beholds. I know a good game when I see it - PT today is currently one of the most influential horror games out there, people trying to bring back its old glory, even replicating it. It does the name of "Silent Hill" good. It scares the crap out of you, and makes you incredibly proud of it at the same time.

I apologize if I'm over hyping it for anyone - but it really is an incredible game. Even today, new secrets and details are surfacing from this ONE DEMO. It's gorgeous, it's atmospheric, it's simply a well done game on it's own and we'll have to hope that maybe someday, Kojima will grant us the full story of which Silent Hills was intended.

The only critique, as many others do, is of the puzzles, which are difficult in their ambiguity - not that it matters anymore. Unless you still have it downloaded onto your PlayStation, the game is no longer obtainable on Konami's part, so, all I can say is, watch as many playthroughs and articles of it as possible - serving you as entertainment, a horror movie, an amazing trailer, and a mystery that we collectively must work through in order to truly understand it.

100/10, in my book.

This game/demo is on a whole other level of terrifying, easily puts most horror films to shame.

Even just without the ghost, the atmosphere is so undeniably creepy and the fact it's so simple - 2 corridors and a bathroom - is a testament to the quality and effort that went into this.

I'm lucky enough to still have this installed on my PS4 and everyone I show it too, even people so hardened by horror they never get scared, would wince and jump in terror by this, quite a few asked me to stop playing due to the dread this causes.

This is just an absolutely unforgettable experience, one that has earned every bit of admiration since it's release. No other game has made me feel sickened with fear like this, and for that alone, I applaud the makers.
