P.T. Demo (Silent Hills Teaser for PS4)

Post » Sun Aug 17, 2014 9:48 am

Just got around to playing this demo with my dad --- man was it terrifying. We were screaming every other minute.

If you're familiar with the Stanley parable's construct, this demo does something very similar. You start in what appears to be a cellar and emerge into a hallway. As you make your way to the end of the hall, you descend down some stairs only to find yourself back at the start of that same hall way. As you continue doing this, things change, more rooms reveal themselves and the story slowly unfolds.

The visuals really make this demo stand out. It uses what I think are probably some of the most realistic post-processing shaders I've seen to date. Pair this with absolutely amazing sound design and you've made a 25 and 50 year old man scream. My dad was literally wrapped in blankets by the end of it.

I would link a video or something, but a lot of the footage in it is violent and quite disturbing.

Has anyone played this? What were your thoughts?

Besides a few startling spooks here and there I thought the scariest part was how unnaturally long that baby/fetus' neck was.

I've been looking for a good new horror game. Man, wish I had a next-gen console.
