Now Viewing: silent_hillsTag type: Copyright Tag refers to images referencing this canceled Silent_Hill game. It is also known as P.T., standing for Playable Teaser, and was released on August 12, 2014. It was labeled this because the game was meant to be a secret preview for an upcoming Silent Hill game directed by Hideo_Kojima and famed monster movie director Guillermo Del Toro and starring actor Norman Reedus as the protagonist. Its true nature as a Silent Hill sequel was only revealed once the player finished the teaser. The game is a surreal first person psychological horror game. The teaser is known for its minimalist design, which influenced quite a few indie horror games. Unlike the main series, it has absolutely no combat and the player is only capable of walking, solving puzzles, and examining objects. The game also takes place almost entirely in a single corridor in a seemingly normal suburban house. The player plays as a man who wakes up in a concrete lined room with no idea of where he is. He opens the only door in the room to find himself in an apparently normal hallway in an abandoned suburban house. He decides to wander around the house, investigating his surroundings, and learning that the family that used to live in the house had some very dark secrets. As he continues his investigation, he soon realizes that he can't leave the house, he is stuck in a seemingly eternal loop within the same corridor, which grows more sinister and dangerous with each loop. . . Kojima designed the game as a mystery both in terms of its story and its gameplay. He wanted both to be as cryptic as possible, and although the game is less than an hour long, he hoped the players would take a full week to figure out all of its puzzles. He chose to set the game in a corridor as a way to emotionally affect the player no matter their cultural background. Even though, the game was only a preview, and not necessarily indicative of what the final product would've turned out to be like, it was highly successful, winning multiple awards like Innovation in Game Technology at the 2014 National Academy of Video Game Trade Reviewers (NAVGTR) awards. However, the game was infamously one of the casualties of Kojima's falling out with Konami, which canceled the game after he left the company and attempted to prevent people from downloading it. In spite of this, Kojima, Del Toro, and Reedus reunited for Kojima's next game, Death Stranding.
