To mark the ninth anniversary of the P.T. demo, Guillermo Del Toro has done what he often does best and shared a rather brazen tweet about the game, and it’s publisher, Konami.
P.T. was a demo for a fully-fledged Silent Hill game, Silent Hills, from Hideo Kojima and Guillermo Del Toro that was released in 2014. While this atmospheric demo was minimal, having you explore the same transforming corridor over and over again while the level of terror only increases, fans went absolutely doolally for it. When it was finally discovered that this was, in fact, going to be a Silent Hill game, the excitement was unreal. Finally, a good, modern Silent Hill game was coming. Until it wasn’t.
The full version of P.T. was canceled in 2015, shortly after the release of the demo. Due to conflicts at Konami, Hideo Kojima then left the studio once Metal Gear Solid V: Phantom Pain was completed, and that was that. P.T. was left to fade into obscurity, slowly but surely becoming less accessible to new players as it was removed from storefronts.
