This review contains spoilers

Finally Played Silent Hills P.T, and I wish we could have gotten the full game. We play as an unknown protagonist who is trapped in a loop inside a haunted home. We slowly learn what happened inside the house through a radio and through puzzles throughout the game.
I love this playable teaser. It would have changed horror gaming if it fully came out but even the playable teaser changed horror gaming itself with many games being inspired by P.T. You should play with headphones and it does get immersive. The gameplay itself is just looping the same area but the area is so cramped it makes you feel claustrophobic. Sometimes you can't loop because you have not interacted with certain things for events to happen. I did get jumpscared because I was not expecting it. The puzzles are vague but if you look around at things closely you'll find them. I did have trouble with one loop where the area turned red and the character started to ruin and I could not progress to the next loop, apparently I was supposed to look through a hole to continue. Overall I love this Playable Teaser wish it could have been something more but it is still amazing as it is and continues to influence/inspire games today.
