It´s been a while science we got a survival horror of this caliber.
P.T. is a playable teaser for the next entry in the Silent Hill franchise... you control the protagonist has you navigate through an L hall of a house where right from the start you know has a history and has you explore deeper and deeper you start to be hounded by the ghost of a woman and strange things happen around you. The only explorable scenario is that L hallway that repeat in an endless loop, but is the way the hauntings play out and the puzzles you have to solve what give flavor to the experience.
The ghost of Lisa is never in the same place twice has she can get you in ways you didn't saw coming; what really brings up the scare levels is the anticipation of the scare, not the scare itself... because you know something is out to get you but the fact that you never know when you are going to get jumped is the thing that makes this game really stand out has a survival horror and is the same basic concept of the classics of the genera.
The final puzzle is the most cryptic thing ever made; you are supposed to make a baby laugh 3 times in order to have a phone ring and receive a "you have been chosen" massage to receive your reward... the deal is that is really strange to figure out unless you see what others have done online; my brother and I spent a good hour and half trying to discover the what to do... we figured out that the final piece of the puzzle is the mic and talk though it by the phone... we tried playing this track of Hideo Kojima and it worked!
By the end of it, the core of the teaser is what kept me interested in the experience; considering that it´s been a while science we got a good Silent Hill game it´s good to know that this teaser not only rejuvenates the series but also gives a new perspective to how you promote your games; with excellent teasers like this; all we can expect now is that the overall experience when it comes out is a great Silent Hill game... and with talents like Gillermo del Toro, Hideo Kojima and Norman Reedus on the helm the expectations are really high.
My only complaint is... why at the end they called it "Silent Hills"? like is there more than ONE town now? are there more Silent HILLS out there? is this a reboot? why not just call it "Silent Hill"? Is a working title, I know, but still it kinda rubs me the wrong way... but I have very little to complaint about if this is my only problem with this game; it is a great teaser and I can´t wait to see how the complete game is going to be like.
