We were robbed of a potential masterpiece of horror media.
I eat horror for breakfast, it’s one of my favourite genres. Games, movies, novels, comics, you name it. Playing P.T. for the first time was the most unsettling, paranoid, anxiety inducing experience I have ever had in the genre. And the almost hysterical community at the time trying to piece together this demented puzzle was an extra layer of mystery and madness.
Ultimately we don’t know what the finished product would have been like, but I have a hard time imagining anything else but a master class in horror.
Kojimas new horror game OD will likely be good, I’m sure. But you can only do a game like P.T. once, and that boat has sailed.
Same boat here 😔. I can still remember when I first heard it was officially cancelled. I’ve never been more devastated by any media being cancelled than this
It really was so sad when they cancelled it. It also sucked when Konami removed it from the Playstation store. Every few months I’ll be sitting around doing something unrelated when my brain is like “member P.T.?” ah… At least we got to experience this playable teaser before it was all canned.
