Playing the ORIGINAL P.T. in 2024 | Full Game Walkthrough | No Commentary
147Since it's October I was looking for cool horror games to showcase and I remembered last year that I purchased a second hand PlayStation 4 that still had the P.T. demo on it. This year is the 10th anniversary of this rare demo and so I thought it was appropriate to archive it once more. The importance of P.T. and how it changed the modern landscape of horror games cannot be understated. Even though it was only a short demo, the style, type of jumpscares and pacing has seeped its way in so many games that came after. Many still consider it the scariest game ever made and to me it felt awesome to be able to play the original version.
Over the years community members have made remakes and homages of this game in both Unreal and in Dreams. And though it's very cool that modern gamers now also have a chance to see what P.T. was somewhat about, it's not the actual original demo and there are slight differences. Now that of course is not an issue, but I have seen other YouTubers play those versions and claim in their title that the version that they are playing is the REAL or ORIGINAL P.T. which is simply not the case.
This game still looks great today and had me on the edge of my seat despite knowing what scary things were coming my way. The sound design is one of the best and you can even see how the seeds were planted for Hideo Kojima's Death Stranding as that project was done with various celebrities who would work on the Silent Hills project. Playing P.T. nowadays really makes it feel like I am playing a lost relic. Its one of those games that justifies me working as The Game Archivist and presenting you with games that are long gone. So do yourself a favor and grab a bag of popcorn and a soda and get ready for a spooky, good time!
