‘Silent Hills’ P.T. Receives a 1998 Reskin for Your Web Browser
No one can dispute the impact that the Silent Hills demo P.T. (Playable Teaser) had on both the gaming industry and the horror game genre as a whole.
Slews of indie horror titles, including Layers of Fear and Allison Road draw heavy inspiration from Konami’s cancelled title, and even Resident Evil 7: Biohazard’s early demos were heavily compared to P.T.
When Konami cancelled Silent Hills and removed P.T. from the PlayStation store, it marked a sad day for horror games and the industry everywhere. However, there is a question that remains to be asked of you, the reader: would you still be willing to experience P.T. in the style of a PlayStation game circa 1998?
All right, while that may not be a question you have asked yourself today (or ever), I am sure it is one you’re proposing to yourself now. Well, there is a answer – or a solution, I would call it – to this conundrum of a question for those who both enjoy the aesthetic of mid to late 90’s video games, and wish to experience P.T. once more.
Finnish animator (and now game developer) Toni Kortelahti, also known from his YouTube channel 98DEMAKE, has released a short, playable homage to both P.T. and video games from ’98. The game can be played right in your web browser – low-poly resolution, compressed sound, and all!
Kortelahti’s demo comes just right after he uploaded the ’98 stylized tribute animation he made for P.T.
Curious readers can head over to Kortelahti’s YouTube page and find a cornucopia of 90’s stylistic crossovers of modern video games he has animated, including: Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, Outlast, and The Last of Us.
For those who are interested or wish to subscribe to Kortelahti, the animator is currently trying his hand as a game developer, and has an IndieGoGo page set up for his “experimental psychological horror game,” titled BVOID.
Two gameplay trailers are currently up, and the best way to describe the aesthetic and feeling is if you took a look inside the head of both Stanely Kubrick and David Lynch, and then turned what you saw into a PlayStation 1 game.

Exclusive Sneak Peek: Eli Roth and Crypt TV’s VR Series ‘The Faceless Lady’ Episode Five
Eli Roth (Cabin Fever) and Crypt TV are knocking it out of the park with their new VR show, The Faceless Lady. For those unaware, this is the first fully scripted VR horror show on the market.
Even for masters of horror like Eli Roth and Crypt TV, this is a monumental undertaking. However, if I trust anyone to change the way that we experience horror, it would be these two legends.
Ripped from the pages of Irish folklore, The Faceless Lady tells the story of a tragic spirit cursed to wander the halls of her castle for all of eternity. However, when three young couples are invited to the castle for a series of games, their fates may soon change.
So far, the story has provided horror fans with a gripping game of life or death that doesn’t look as if it will slow down in episode five. Luckily, we have an exclusive clip that may be able to satiate your appetites until the new premiere.
Airing on 4/25 at 5pmPT/8pmET, episode five follows our final three contestants in this wicked game. As the stakes are raised ever higher, will Ella be able to fully awaken her connection with Lady Margaret?
The newest episode can be found on Meta Quest TV. If you haven’t already, follow this link to subscribe to the series. Make sure to check out the new clip below.

‘Blink Twice’ Trailer Presents a Thrilling Mystery in Paradise
A new trailer for the movie formerly known as Pussy Island just dropped and it has us intrigued. Now with the more restrained title, Blink Twice, this Zoë Kravitz-directed black comedy is set to land in theaters on August 23.
The film is packed with stars including Channing Tatum, Naomi Ackie, Alia Shawkat, Simon Rex, Adria Arjona, Haley Joel Osment, Christian Slater, Kyle MacLachlan, and Geena Davis.
The trailer feels like a Benoit Blanc mystery; people are invited to a secluded location and disappear one by one, leaving one guest to figure out what is going on.
In the film, a billionaire named Slater King (Channing Tatum) invites a waitress named Frida (Naomi Ackie) to his private island, “It’s paradise. Wild nights blend into sun-soaked days and everyone’s having a great time. No one wants this trip to end, but as strange things start to happen, Frida begins to question her reality. There is something wrong with this place. She’ll have to uncover the truth if she wants to make it out of this party alive.”
