To mark PT’s 10th anniversary, many gamers are remembering the iconic horror game on Reddit. Although the game was never properly released, it has inspired many other horror games.

Horror legend PT aka Silent Hills Playable Teaser has a birthday

On 12 August 2014 PT saw the light of day on the PlayStation 4. What was intended as a playable teaser for a new Silent Hill game (“Silent Hills”) disappeared after a legal dispute between game director Hideo Kojima and publisher Konami prematurely in digital nirvana.

Despite the tragic story, PT is now considered a true PlayStation legend and gamers still live off the question “What if…” – this is also evidenced by a brand new Reddit thread in which numerous users mourn the brilliant horror teaser:

For example, one user writes:

The demo may have been removed years ago, but those hallways are forever etched in my brain. I’ll never forget the first time I walked into that bathroom… I’ll forever be paranoid about peeking through cracks in a door. (Source: Reddit user Massive-Weiner)

Dead but not forgotten: PT has left its mark

Statements like these are the reason why PT is still a popular topic of conversation in the horror bubble But the atmosphere, clever game design and theoretical potential of Silent Hills have not only captivated gamers.

In fact, in the following years, various games have appeared on the market that see themselves as spiritual successors to PT. These include, for example, Face (View on Steam) or Layers of Fear (View on Steam). And as soon as a new horror game shows a photorealistic hallway, everyone immediately starts talking about PT

In this respect, Hideo Kojima can only be congratulated. Konami may have tried to wipe out PT on the PlayStation, but in the minds of the players The game still haunts people 10 years later.
