The highly influential PT is one of PlayStation 4's best horror games -- it's a huge shame it was delisted when Konami cancelled Silent Hills. Despite being tiny in size, the playable teaser was big on atmosphere and jump scares, and it became an instant sensation when it was surprise released on PlayStation Store. One of the game's biggest triumphs was the unbelievable sense of dread and its ability to turn players completely paranoid. At times it would feel like something was following you, but there was nothing there when you turned around.
According to game hacker Lance McDonald, there actually is something following you, and it's doing so the entire time. The modder managed to hack into PT, and unlocked the game's camera from the player character. Doing so revealed an insane trick pulled off by the devs: Lisa is right behind you constantly.
You can read a little more in this Twitter thread. It includes a clip in which McDonald shows how Lisa attaches to you once you pick up the flashlight, creating those horrible shadows on the walls of the scariest corridor in games.
Very creepy stuff.

Terrifying.
Spooky.
I would have loved to try this out but unfortunately didn't have a PS4 back then. "Jump scares" though? That wouldn't really fit with the franchise would it?
@ShaiHulud I’m very bored of hearing about PT, but in fairness it was pretty bloody creepy and if Kojima was in charge of making a full SH game I fully expect it to have been the scariest game ever made. I expect he has a lot of ideas still, and he’ll make a horror game before long.
She's behind you!
That vid of Lisa and her wobbly head makes it look like a spoof comedy.
@kyleforrester87 have to agree that hearing about P.T is getting a bit old. Nothing against the demo in terms of its horror quality but it's also responsible for alot of knockoffs that tried and failed to replicate it. Kojima could do a great horror game and I'd be surprised if Death Stranding didn't have some memorable horror moments. However let P.T and Silent Hill rest.
This is the worst headline of all time. I was having a slightly dull day, now I'm on edge. I prefer dull.
@BowTiesAreCool Imagine PT is "physical training" and Lisa is your really hot teacher.
(I admit that does beg the question why she would be behind you, but whatever floats your boat...)
@BowTiesAreCool I'll take that as a compliment.
@kyleforrester87 😂
@Quintumply absolutely!
But when you turn around is she behind you again? Is she constantly circling you?
This game would be a masterpiece but Konami is a bunch of idiots.
Having something constantly follow behind you sure is bone chilling.
Another reason why P.T. might be my favorite horror experience ever.
I shouldn't delete PT when I have it on my ps4, I delete it while thinking I can always play it later
Back up to a wall...
If you feel two soft round things instead of cold hard concrete, might as well kill yourself rather than turn around...
I think I would rather have not known this... this is so scary.
This is horrific.
Can't handle a game like this.
@kyleforrester87 Well, I'd probably be bored as well by now if I had played it, now I'm just annoyed every time I read about it just because I haven't played it
@ShaiHulud Play one of the trillion remakes that are out there
Never get tired of hearing about P.T.
The masterpiece that will never be, Rip 💔
Basically her models attaches to yours after certain events
@kyleforrester87 Any particular ones you would recommend?
@ShaiHulud haha, you called me out there didn’t you!
Honestly, naw not really - I swear I saw it redone in Unreal engine, and Dreams at the very least. Nothing will beat the original though I don’t think.
Sometimes I regret not waiting to get the Pro instead of the base model, but then I remember that I'm one of the lucky people who still has this little masterpiece installed on their system, and that feeling instantly goes away.
I found it a bit boring when I played it when it first came out, but I also have four children so I am used to creatures covered in slime and filth randomly jumping out at me so takes a bit more than jump scares to unsettle me. Shame they didn't make the full game though.
@kyleforrester87 Thanks for nothing then
This game scared me to (near)death when at one point when she jumped out(I think it was her) It put me off games like this because I am to scared to play them now
