I’ve seen the logo of PT on the playstation store one day, as I was checking daily for new games to try out. A little check on Google didn’t really tell me anything about this game, but it had been just released that day and I thought fuck it, let’s go for it.
What happened in the next 2-3 hours was the most terrifying video game experience I ever had. I went on to show this demo to everyone I know, without telling them anything beforehand, as I wanted them to have the raw and jaw-dropping experience I had. And I played it over and over again. It’s a masterpiece in every sense of the word and spawned a multitude of indie horror games afterwards, that tried to recreate the ingenuity of it, but it was never reached imho.
I was super sad to hear the game got cancelled in the end, but in retrospective I think that only added to the legacy of it.
