So here's where I'm stuck at right now. I'm at a part where there's a baby or a child trapped in a bloody fridge hanging from where the chandelier is supposed to be. The kid's screaming in there and when I zoom in on it the fridge seems to slowly stop swinging but then it goes into full swing again. Slowly this creepy music crawls in and I hear a guy crying where the phone is at and it's off the hook. I looked out the window and the chick with bile on her mouth is convulsing like someone with parkinsons. I don't really know what to do after this part though. Anyone else?

Double edit: okay no what do I actually do

I've seen fun you people wouldn't believe.
Tiki torches on fire off the summit of Kilauea.
I watched disco balls glitter in the dark near the Brandenburg Gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like crowds in rain.

Time to sleep.

I filled the picture up. Now to figure out what to do.

After I did that I went through the cycle a few more times and eventually the phone started ringing while I was staring at the mirror. In a Party with like 6 other goons trying to figure this poo poo out, they're still waiting for the phone, but it's anyone's guess on how to trigger it. All the pieces of the photo, then look at stuff, I dunno.

I'm currently stuck repeating this hallway with different colored flashlights. If i wait a minute then the clock ticks over to midnight but I can't tell if anything is changing. I can always keep going down the stairs and through the door and the flashlight color just keeps randomizing. No idea what to do here.

This. Can't figure it out...

OK, I have a question about the ending. After not being able to get the phone to ring, and finding that everyone else is confused and can't get it to ring either (except when it does and no one knows how they did it), I decided to watch the ending through the stream posted earlier. I'm guessing the huge twist was that Kojima/Del Toro/Norman Reedus are working on/in the game and its Silent Hill? I guess that would have been a huge reveal earlier in the day, but its kinda worn away since its know common-ish knowledge. Unless I missed what the real twists is somehow.

You've got to know the rules before you can break 'em. Otherwise, it's no fun.


So he made a demo that fits the definition of insanity? You repeat the same actions over and over hoping for different results, which occasionally actually happen?

That's right. The demo was originally announced at Gamescom with the name P.T. under a fake developer, with no other information other than the teaser being available on PSN.

No luck here. No one seems to know what triggers the phone's ringing for sure. Maybe the game is haunted!!

You need to hear a baby giggle then you stare at the phone. It took a while on a stream I watched.

I heard the baby when I looked at the clock, then stared at the phone for a while. No good so far!

One of the halls has a painting that's been knocked off the wall onto the floor. There's a hole where it was hanging, stare through it and into a bathroom.

You have to hear a baby laugh and then check the phone. I don't know it's dumb.

I gave up at the Ghost Lady Bathroom/Hallways. I know it was moments away from the baby laugh thing but gently caress, I start work at 4:30.

It was great hitting my head against a wall for a couple hours though.

I've heard a baby giggle twice, seen a dang ghost in the bathroom at least two times, and nothin new. No phone. Have gone through the door down the stairs a few more times just in case. Totally stymied here.

I was staring at the mirror instead of the phone when the phone rang however I believe the baby laughing is key though, it's supposed to laugh twice. Honestly I think you just need to reset the hallway at the end and then wait without triggering anything else. It's probably just random as gently caress.

Waiting for the second giggle at 5:29 in the morning. I should have just waited with it until after I'd slept like I had planned. gently caress.


e: I gave up. Everything up until that I could imagine playing a game of because screw stuff like Outlast. This did horror and scares very right.

Yeah honestly I don't think you can really look at this like a demo. It's purposefully obtuse so that people talk about it and so that it wasn't just one dude on youtube saying "Hideo Kojima and Guillermo Del Toro are making a game!" 10 minutes after the demo goes up.

That said I don't feel any urge to deal with the randomness and finish it, but I appreciate it in theory.

Edit: poo poo, just realized I should've spoilered that part up there. Hope it didn't ruin it for anyone!

There was a point where I was trying to get the bell chimes lined up with cycle resets and that number the radio said over and over, I think 20863...204863? Whatever, no idea what that was about now.

Holy poo poo that bit scared the hell out of me. I knew something bad was coming but just had to turn around anyway.



I'll play some more in the morning when it's daylight and I won't be so scared.

Excited for this game, the graphics look stunning and the atmosphere is so tense.

Try watching someone play it on twitch and see if it lets you choose the game. should take you to the psn store.

I grabbed it from the webstore (US region). Do a search for PT (no periods) and it should show up under games.

I'm only calling it a demo cause not sure what else to really call it.

And I don't know, it IS a cool way to reveal something but when it's as boring as it is in the last half it's just frustrating and ugh. Just really soured it all for me.

One thing I noticed that wasn't pointed out though about the true nature of the game The title is silent hills, plural. Wonder if that means anything.

This game is a jerk. Also, apparently there are more bits? I guess I'm still missing forehead and left eye. This is getting tedious rather than scary.

You don't actually seem to need to complete the picture. And it gets more tedious after this.

Unless someone blows this wide open I think the first half before the "reset" is meant to be the demo, and the second half is just meant to drive completionist people nuts with red herrings. The way these things shake out I wonder if the reveal was expected to take much longer to get out.

Played for about half an hour before calling it quits after one too many jump scares.
