it's literally insane that this short demo that came out in 2014 became a legacy for horror video games. The best part is that this isn't even the full game too, and was likely to not even be in the full game given that it is just a teaser.
There's a great video out there by TheGrateDebate that makes a compelling argument for how PT was just a giant middle finger to Konami and had nothing to do with Silent Hill.
@@ailynevensen no need to be condescending. It's pure speculation from a 4chan post. Check your sources because the only sites talking about it are the low-quality clickbait rumor mills like GamesRadar and GameRant
Yeah, her height is especially intimidating. She's crazy tall, but not so tall that it's just not believable. I think it was a smart and interesting choice to play with her height like that.
Imagine if they have put in some code that enables Lisa to terrify even the game breakers. Like, they'd know people will search for stuff like this and Lisa would be 'aware' and creep on them too.
TheFallOutPilots There is actually. If you break the game and just head downwards instead, after a while Lisa will scare you and lead you back to the game
Shesez did an episode on PT where he shows what happens when you try to boundary break downward, after a while Lisa will appear and grab ahold of you to pull you back up.
And also last decade video games really? I'll give u good ones then, RE2 remake, bloodborne, alien:Isolation, and the first Evil Within there are probably some other ones that I forgot.
@@aldousbetana6914 i agree bloodborne has creepy atmosphere and some horror stuff, but its not really what people are thinking of when they are talking about horror games.
@@ESTAMOSJUGANDOSP possibly intended for other segments of this scene in what would be the full game, shes walking with a limp possibly implying that she survived the shot initially. perhaps in the full game you would see a new perspective on the pt segment. the mother survived the initial shot and trys to go to her kid in the bathroom, only it is locked, and she is too weak to communicate that it is her and not the father, she bleeds out after making her way to the end of the hall, imprinting her soul on that hallway.
@@ESTAMOSJUGANDOSP from a game engine prespective makes sense. it's easier to have an animation made and attach sounds to specific frames to play, such as footsteps, than to try to put together a full audio file and adjust it to make it sound like it's getting closer. the second option is much harder to make it work into tricking your hearing. your brain is quite perceptive when it comes to sound. it's easier to trick your eyes than your ears (for example it's why when you watch a lower quality video, you can still make out whats there and doesn't bother you that much, but a low quality sound will make you very unconfortable). as a game engine already handles spacial sound quite well, it's simpler to have the sound attached to the model, play at the location the model is at the time, let the engine calculate how further away it is from the player camera and adjust the sound intensity accordingly. why they made the model visible is another question as they could have simply still have the model exist but be invisible and hidden in game so to conserve performance.
I noticed that the game preys on scared people even harder lol. A lot of youtuber I watched playing this game just blasted through each loop, not noticing the small details the game had. Meanwhile when I played this, I got to see so many shit because I move so slow lol. For example that part where Lisa standing behind you.. Actually you can see her standing there even without any hacks if you move your camera slow enough. It got me completely paralyzed xD
Yeah i still can't finish it. The single worst one that happened to me was when i was filled with determination to finish it but felt like i had did the wrong order so wanted to die to reset. So i mustered up the courage to run at her and she flew inside me. Then for the next 2 hallway loops i was possessed with every single step i took being followed by another step behind me. Really freaked me out because the music stopped and all i had was the breathing. Until i turned off the game. It was like it was saying to me you're trapped.
that's why you should not read about the game puzzles and try to figure them on your own to spend more time with game and I think that's how the game was meant to be, to make you stuck at it for as long as possible, for me the worst moment was when i was trying to see the character's face in the mirror and i saw her satnding behind me in the mirror, I really felt my blood freezing
Same as Zain, I watched a few UA-cam videos on it before I played back when it was released and they missed allot... Thought I saw all the possibilities and just wanted to experience it myself, little did I know ALL THE VARIABLES they coded in this game cause none of the vids had her behind them in the mirror. I remember me telling my girlfriend at the time "It sounds like she's right ****ing behind me..." I check the mirror and close the game cause I needed a moment.
P.T. has become already a urband legend in videogames,i don't know if those rumous of Sony buying the IP's to Konami will be true,hope so,or at least Kojima doing a proper full horror videogame.
Anyway moral of the story, click on this link: twitch.tv/lancemcdonald I love Lisa's stretchy legs when she slams the bathroom door shut. Also, notice her hands are strange when she walks to the bathroom door? I think it's unfinished rigging, like they planned to have her actually grab the handle and turn it, but never finished it because no one was going to see it? I dunno, I'm not an animator lol.
About lisa walking outside, I think it is because instead of having to to guess where her foot steps were gonna be for sound of her walking to the door, they just animated it to make it simple. Also they put her hands like that probably to prevent her from t posting and putting her arm through the wall
@@SomeGuy-qd3li This is exactly what I was thinking. To properly time the footsteps and pacing of that scene what better way than to do a rough render of it.
I think it would have been wasted dev time fully animating things never meant to be seen. Look at the Arkham games or even the last of us, In a lot of cases the second a character isn't seen it either disappears or folds into a blob. People undersell HOW hard animation is and how long it takes.
As an animator, i can assure you- our first priority is whats being seen from the camera angle. Ive stretched my characters beyond any sort of realism to get the effect i wanted from the camera perspective- so animations like the one on the balcony make a ton of sense to me. They wanted us to see her shaking head last as she disappears into the shadows, but due to her pregnant stomach and the low angle that wouldve been possible so they made her do a very awkward pose that would stretch her neck forward while her body bends back. The walking animation we see outside the bathroom is OUTSTANDING to me. i dont think it looks like that because her hands arent rigged, though. Her hands are usually limp in general. If i had to guess, they probably made a walk cycle for her anyway (its usually one of the first exercises you do with a new character) but later decided she would move differently in the game. The walk cycle is obviously not polished all the way cause you never see it, but damn it carries the terror of this character perfectly. Thank you for finding this bit and making this video!!!
@@Brieepy according to the trailer this game had at some gaming expo, it looked like it was gonna follow this style. Tbh, if it didnt follow this style I'd be less inclined to play it anyway, why make people love the playable teaser and then give us a game that's nothing like it?
@@charliechan6892 yes, it was supposed to be a teaser showing some of the concepts they planned on using in the game, but that doesn't mean that PT itself was unfinished. Silent Hills was separate in that sense.
I thought seeing some secrets would make this less haunting but I think it made it worse hah hah I can see why they didn't fully animate Lisa but it makes her appearances that much worse in an interesting and frightening way. I didn't think PT could get anymore unsettling and turns out it can. PT is truly a legacy, I hope the rumors of it becoming a full project again under Kojima Productions/Sony buying the rights to the franchise are true.

Man they could make that a bullet point in ps5 and it would surely sell.
Lisa's freaky appearance jumps straight from "mildly creepy" into pure "uncanny valley" in a way that suits P.T./Silent Hills perfectly. This game wouldn't be the same if she moved in a natural way, and I almost prefer the unfinished rigging over any potentially "realistic" movements she might have ended up with if they'd meant for her to be seen. The eery, puppet-like rigging and the unnatural movement only accentuate the fact that Lisa isn't human and means absolute harm.
@@spiridiums That's the exact reason King Ramses from Courage the Cowardly Dog was such an impactful horror scene for the generation of kids that saw that show. That terrible 3D rigging and paper-flat body parts moving all unnaturally... I loved that show but I remembered always refusing to watch that episode after the first time I saw it. Glad a ghost like Lisa can bring back such awful feelings lol.
@@ajinkyatarodekar9099 Yep, and there's dark blood stains down the front of her dress, starting at her womb. Makes the talking fetus in the sink even more chilling.
@@SergeantSmilo They wanted nothing to do with Kojima after they fired him. It was a reason why the Zone of the Enders remastered, and of why none of the copies of MGS V had his name, or the Kojima Productions logo on any of the cases. Why publish a game when the person who was originally working on it, isn't there anymore?
Ajinkya Tarodekar Lol Really?? The voice on the radio mentioned that the wife who was shot in the stomach was pregnant at the time. The sink fetus is a representation of the unborn baby.
lisa becomes one with the floor, also im surprised too that that had a fully animated walk sequence for a scene where you don't even see her, makes ya think maybe they had other ideas as well.
@@RocketSlacker There's also a model of the giant half body creature that was in the original trailer in the game's code, makes me wonder what direction they were going for this
They were probably gonna make the animation of lisa opening the door handle, but the fact that they animated her walking at all is super cool ! This is awesome !
It’s still dripping with atmosphere and dredd , whoever made the final decision on binning this game shouldn’t ever be near an executive decision ever again .
That's a good majority of game executives, sadly. The sad truth is that many a game never see the light of day. Days, months, and even years of work and love are being constantly thrown into the trash within the game industry.
The top people of the gaming industry are all suit wearing 50-something year old men who don't give a shit about games, they just want a super popular game that sells well, they didn't see potential in this because how could they.
I thought it was weird they actually animated Lisa outside the bathroom even though the player can't see it but I think they did it so the sound design would feel more authentic. They wanted to get a good idea of her gait, how many steps it would take to get from the door to the bathroom. That's a really cool level of attention to detail.
7:51 the way this is animated with her actually walking looking so real is honestly terrifying, Crazy they out that effort in but never wanted it to be seen
Is it possible to capture footage of Lisa when you turn around and she kills you? I'm curious to see that whole sequence play out from a 3rd person perspective.
Her being actually behind us is very terrifying. The game developers could have simply just programmed the shadow and her breathing noises to happen and not actually have Lisa's behind us. However, they went above and beyond to actually put her behind us. That is dedication to their craft.
@@SurrealiamPrime Which is so incredibly bizarre. I don't know that I've ever seen such long lasting and intense demand for a game as there is for a new Silent Hills from Kojima. Were Konami to actually let it happen, they'd make so much damn money and likely get a lot of public support again. It just doesn't make sense.
Even if it was true, Hideo Kojima doesnt want to do anymore of his old franchise stuff. He wants to move past Silent Hill and Metal Gear. I dont blame him because Konami really fucked him over ruining his own stories and creations at the very end... Metal Gear 5
That hallway lisa find is WILD! I never knew about that. My guess is that an animator had made a suite of anims for Lisa for Level Design to play with (animators sometimes have LOTS of free time in projects like this), and whoever was in charge of that sequence probably used the animation to properly sync the footsteps in a believable way, and I'd guess the easiest way in-engine to get footsteps like that to work is to tie it to a character's animations (which is why it's not animated any further than that, similar to how some video games will "cheat" and use characters for things they aren't normally used for, like a train)
The walking in the hallway was done to make sure the heel click was triggering in the proper locations, rather than just guessing at it. I think that shows good attention to detail and realism.
Her walking is the creepiest thing I’ve seen in the game. Her other movements are glitchy to a degree. But her walking normally as she can is real creepy. And you don’t even get to actually see it in the game. Or the headless Lisa in the bathtub, that part would have been the scariest if they had left it in the game.
One thing I really appreciate about PT is how well the lighting works. It's one of the few games I've seen that actually understands how flashlights work, that while the light is brightest in the center of the beam, a large area around the light is still softly illuminated--it doesn't just turn your camera view into a circle in the middle of your screen. And all the lighting in the game is amazing, just a bit on the harsh end of realistic, to add to the creeping horror of the situation. The glow of a table lamp fades just a little too quickly from its source, the light hanging in the entryway has you straining to see just a little further down the hall... Every bit of this teaser was a masterpiece and I wish dearly that we'd gotten a full game.
What about when Lisa appears outside, in the first window you see at the end of the first hallway? It's my favorite jump scare in the game and tons of people miss it completely.
This game getting cancelled and P.T. being removed from the marketplace are both absolute fucking tragedies. It's such a shame no greater project will ever come from this teaser, and it sucks even more that the teaser itself can never be played again unless you have it on your PS4 already or buy a ridiculously expensive one that has it installed. Still, thanks to you we have at least some more content to experience from it.
God, the light in the hall casting the shadow of Lisa is so spooky and subtle - I know lots of folks who had no idea it was there. This demo was like a masterclass in horror gaming done right. Thanks so much for all your exploration into it!
There is something very scary to get to see what Lisa was really doing while we were playing but couldn't see. I can't imagine the goosebumps you probably got finding her walking like this as we could only hear her before 😱 It's like finding hidden home ghost activities ! And now when we will replay it, we will know for sure she's coming at the door with that creepy walk 😱
That is so cool. The walk up to the bathroom door definitely surprised me. Lisa herself has such an ominous presence, it's easy to think of her as trapped within P.T. itself. And these small animations lend some weight to that little thought. Very rad!
Lisa hanging out everywhere? Wow, don't like that. This is absolutely incredible, it's so hard to believe that this was all created even though it would never have actually been seen by players.
Your discoveries have really changed the way I view the game - I never got to play it myself but have watched several let's plays of it and it always felt to me like Lisa was a villain, just one of the many specters haunting this house and/or the protagonist, and that the house itself was a villanous, alive entity as well. Seeing just how much Lisa is actually *doing*, walking, following the protagonist, physically closing and opening doors etc., made me view Lisa not as just another incidental evil spirit but as someone so hell bent on getting revenge and/or justice that she causes all the shit that happens in that house to occur. Like she's the protagonist, in a way. Which made the game even more memorable than it already was. Idk I don't really know how to phrase what I'm thinking but I just wanted to leave a comment to tell you how much your P.T. videos impacted my feelings about the game.
This playable teaser has gone down in history as likely the best psychological horror videogame that was never released. I can't even imagine what the full game would've been like, given the forgotten but absolutely sublime concept movie that released in 2014. That one should be a benchmark for what horror trailers should be like.
Just by listening to the baby crying and the background noise I felt scared all over again. It's amazing how this 30min long teaser was so frightening and had more impact in the horror game industry than a load of full sized - and even some AAA - games. Some people may not like his work, but Kojima surely mastered the art of game directing.
I'm so intrigued that after all this time, we're still finding out things about it. Thank you so much for all your work analyzing and picking apart this demo.
I completely applaud Kojima for standing up for himself and going off to make his own uninterrupted art. If ever given the chance for a Kojima and Konami to come back together to attempt to bring this back, or even a full version to life, I think that would be just a right as rain
This game still scares the shit out of me until this very day, its the scariest thing I’ve ever experienced, the sound effects, having Lisa chase and haunt you constantly, not being able to do anything at all about it is just pure horror 😅
You're work is amazing, dude. From any perspective it's nothing but comprehending how modeling, rigging and animating works as well as fiction and camera setting it's incredible to see someone not only developing this but someone going through with uncovering this detail. Thank you for working on this while showing us how developers put effort into this seemingly simple stuff which is actually extremely complicated.
Oh wow, this is absolutely breathtaking. So much attention to detail. Even on things that should by all intents and purposes never be seen. Amazing. Thank you.
It's a damn shame that one of the best experiences this generation will be forgotten to time. The amount of amazing things this game did for the indie horror genre was amazing
The game that keeps on giving. Just when I though that this was it from this game with the city exploration stuff you managed to dig up even more cool stuff from it. Awesome work.
7:50 That is the coolest shit ever that you can never see. This would make a great background animation, walking around places spooking your exploration. Also I never realized that she only has one high heel.
you're doing an amazing job ! I think developers knew that people like you would crack up the PT code and see the secrets, and that's why they put Lisa Scenes.
At 9:00 when watching Lisa walk (limp?) down the hallway, the way she's holding her arms suggests she's either favoring a leg or is meant to be using a cane. It makes me think that she's using an animation that was created with someone else in mind that they attached to her just to time out the footstep sounds. Possibly a character that was cut or was meant to be in the full game and someone had done some work on them already? I dunno, I just love to speculate on a 30 minute demo from 5 years ago, it's absolutely amazing how much work and detail is packed into this thing.
This game came out around the same year as the first FNAF game & Outlast, and I just remember these three being the main reasons I became so invested in the horror genre as a whole. Absolutely love this game
I would like to think because of your driven motivation to uncover everything there is about p.t. that will have a direct hand in its resurrection. Showing the suits that there is demand for a full release, given the amount of support for each video. This video in particular adds a whole other layer to p.t. incredible.
OMG I never would've guessed that lisa would actually walk down the hallway and stand there like that. What makes this even more unsettling is she seems to be attracted to the cries of he child. She just stands there with her head down hunched over. It would've been cool if we got a split screen jump scare of her waking down the hallway and standing there while you're trying get out of the bathroom.
Every time I play through PT I still get really scared even after all these years it’s absolutely terrifying. I do always play late at night in the dark on my giant projector screen just to heighten the terror so I don’t do myself any favors.
Thank you very much for these insightful videos. This demo was a work of art and it still breaks my heart it may never be fully realised into a full game.
@@MarkTheCat That's a little different than actually experiencing a game. It's a good supplement but usually warnings or disclaimers like that are for you to go and play it yourself.
*me before watching* : ah yes. something to make the original experience less frightening! :] *me after watching* : nope nope nope nope ;__; (sidenote: very interesting, good work!! 🖤)
I think Lisa holding her thy or actually her stomach and walking like that towards the bathroom could resemble the shot womb during the crime? Thx to you I can edit my theory vid!! Give you credit also!!
I thought that too. After being shot she maybe stumbled around the house trying to find a place to hide. It's been a while since I played but was it ever explained or said that the fetus was cut out of her or did she have a miscarriage maybe?
My guess is they animated her walking outside the bathroom door just to give sound design an idea of how many heel steps to play. That or perhaps it is tied to those audio triggers.
Took me a minute to realize that you only hear Lisa's one footstep because she only has one heel on...
Yes 1:21 you can hear one step is flesh the second step is shoe
I dont have my audio on but it they really did then that is amazing detail
Wow. Great find!
True
oh god

@@spiridiums That's the exact reason King Ramses from Courage the Cowardly Dog was such an impactful horror scene for the generation of kids that saw that show. That terrible 3D rigging and paper-flat body parts moving all unnaturally...
I loved that show but I remembered always refusing to watch that episode after the first time I saw it. Glad a ghost like Lisa can bring back such awful feelings lol.
@@spiridiumsoh , no , I'm human . Or what's left of me is .
I think . .
6:30 the dude on the radio saying "i said: look behind you" gave me chills
The fact she's slightly pregnant makes it all the more disturbing.
STILL pissed that this got cancelled.
Excellent work!
Holy shit i didn't realize that!!
@@ajinkyatarodekar9099 Yep, and there's dark blood stains down the front of her dress, starting at her womb.
Makes the talking fetus in the sink even more chilling.
And that Konami didn't just publish PT as its own stand-alone title. Seriously, is corporate suicide just in their nature at this point?
@@SergeantSmilo They wanted nothing to do with Kojima after they fired him. It was a reason why the Zone of the Enders remastered, and of why none of the copies of MGS V had his name, or the Kojima Productions logo on any of the cases. Why publish a game when the person who was originally working on it, isn't there anymore?
Ajinkya Tarodekar Lol Really?? The voice on the radio mentioned that the wife who was shot in the stomach was pregnant at the time. The sink fetus is a representation of the unborn baby.
lisa becomes one with the floor, also im surprised too that that had a fully animated walk sequence for a scene where you don't even see her, makes ya think maybe they had other ideas as well.
I do believe Kojima said they had to tone it down, so it must have something to do with that.
@@RocketSlacker There's also a model of the giant half body creature that was in the original trailer in the game's code, makes me wonder what direction they were going for this
"YOU ARE TEARING ME APART, LISA!"
Nice
lisa is tearing herself apart apparently
ohhimark
O hai mark!
i did not hit her its not true
They were probably gonna make the animation of lisa opening the door handle, but the fact that they animated her walking at all is super cool ! This is awesome !
this would have been one of the greatest games ever.

It’s still dripping with atmosphere and dredd , whoever made the final decision on binning this game shouldn’t ever be near an executive decision ever again .
That's a good majority of game executives, sadly. The sad truth is that many a game never see the light of day. Days, months, and even years of work and love are being constantly thrown into the trash within the game industry.
@@lucy9698 yeah absolutely true
The top people of the gaming industry are all suit wearing 50-something year old men who don't give a shit about games, they just want a super popular game that sells well, they didn't see potential in this because how could they.
@@lucy9698It’s all about money from people who have never and will never play a video game.
I thought it was weird they actually animated Lisa outside the bathroom even though the player can't see it but I think they did it so the sound design would feel more authentic. They wanted to get a good idea of her gait, how many steps it would take to get from the door to the bathroom. That's a really cool level of attention to detail.
7:51 the way this is animated with her actually walking looking so real is honestly terrifying, Crazy they out that effort in but never wanted it to be seen
PT is one of the only horror games to ever truly “fuck me up”
Great, now I’ve got to deal with this
watching this in 2023 about a game that came out almost 10 years ago. great video!
For some reason, seeing Lisa just fall backward into the floor after the window drop scene kinda scared me. How bizarre!
Get on floor
Walk the dinosaur
That made me laugh, cause all I could think of is the rig going *plop* 😂
It's such a horridly inhuman movement... I find twitchy/warped/unnatural movements like that and pretty much all her movements the woooooooorst.
The strangest thing was the way she showed her leg while falling back.
Is it possible to capture footage of Lisa when you turn around and she kills you? I'm curious to see that whole sequence play out from a 3rd person perspective.
Please make a video about this too, Mr. @LanceMcDonald

Flyers Ivs never in my lives will i forget
Sony is currently working with Kojima and Konaimi to bring this back.
@@thedarksideoftheforce6658 serious¿ is this real?
Her being actually behind us is very terrifying. The game developers could have simply just programmed the shadow and her breathing noises to happen and not actually have Lisa's behind us. However, they went above and beyond to actually put her behind us. That is dedication to their craft.
It's actually easier to put the model there so the lighting naturally casts a shadow on it than to try and fake the shadow
@@AbominableToast Ah. I didn't know that. I guess you learn something new everyday. Thanks for correcting me on that ^_^
@@MadamGlitch I work in games so I have a bit more insider knowledge, I really like your positive attitude :)
@@AbominableToast Thanks :D I like learning how things work in games.
@MageBurger very true
I really hope the rumors about Sony buying the Silent Hill license from Konami is real.
Officer Flat Foot they weren’t sadly
@@SurrealiamPrime Which is so incredibly bizarre. I don't know that I've ever seen such long lasting and intense demand for a game as there is for a new Silent Hills from Kojima. Were Konami to actually let it happen, they'd make so much damn money and likely get a lot of public support again.
It just doesn't make sense.
Even if it was true, Hideo Kojima doesnt want to do anymore of his old franchise stuff. He wants to move past Silent Hill and Metal Gear. I dont blame him because Konami really fucked him over ruining his own stories and creations at the very end... Metal Gear 5
@@SirMeowthius but Silent Hill is not a Kojima work? That was team silent doing 1 through 4
@@Haru-qh2qz he was part of the creation behind it.
Super interesting that Lisa's hallway footsteps alternate between a thump and a click since she only has one shoe on
That hallway lisa find is WILD! I never knew about that. My guess is that an animator had made a suite of anims for Lisa for Level Design to play with (animators sometimes have LOTS of free time in projects like this), and whoever was in charge of that sequence probably used the animation to properly sync the footsteps in a believable way, and I'd guess the easiest way in-engine to get footsteps like that to work is to tie it to a character's animations (which is why it's not animated any further than that, similar to how some video games will "cheat" and use characters for things they aren't normally used for, like a train)
The walking in the hallway was done to make sure the heel click was triggering in the proper locations, rather than just guessing at it. I think that shows good attention to detail and realism.
Her walking is the creepiest thing I’ve seen in the game. Her other movements are glitchy to a degree. But her walking normally as she can is real creepy. And you don’t even get to actually see it in the game. Or the headless Lisa in the bathtub, that part would have been the scariest if they had left it in the game.
One thing I really appreciate about PT is how well the lighting works. It's one of the few games I've seen that actually understands how flashlights work, that while the light is brightest in the center of the beam, a large area around the light is still softly illuminated--it doesn't just turn your camera view into a circle in the middle of your screen. And all the lighting in the game is amazing, just a bit on the harsh end of realistic, to add to the creeping horror of the situation. The glow of a table lamp fades just a little too quickly from its source, the light hanging in the entryway has you straining to see just a little further down the hall... Every bit of this teaser was a masterpiece and I wish dearly that we'd gotten a full game.
This is nice, I like all the behind the scenes and cut content you manage to get, thanks for all the hard work.
It's insane that a demo for a game still ha such an cultural impact, years later and people are still digging through it
What about when Lisa appears outside, in the first window you see at the end of the first hallway? It's my favorite jump scare in the game and tons of people miss it completely.
Is there a particular loop she appears in?
@@johnnycage4878 I believe it's fairly early in the loops. I think when the window has that orangish color and it's raining.
@@tmilker Against my better judgement I'm gonna check it out.Much appreciated.
Na someone else proved that she has a handful of random scares and thats one of em.
@@misterturkturkle Got the vid?
This is true actual fear not jump scares and it's even worse when you know that this was a demo and it's this good at being legitimately scary
Just waiting for a game to hide something off-camera in a cutscene that says "HI, LANCE!"
That's happened with Boundary Break, actually.
TyrantWesker what video?
@@Riko-un8ys still waiting a year later…
Lance, with these videos you make the scariest game ever made even more terrifying 🤯
8:34 i feel like this is how an actually real ghost sighting will look like. Really haunting stuff, P.T. will be always be a marvel of horror games.
Ghosts don’t exist in real life.
I watched that sequence just now and it scares the absolute shit out of me.
@@gamernation1400 ya mama
Thanks Lance, I hate it.
Dude that really tickled me 😂😂
I never expected that when the baby scene starts. She actually walks towards the bathroom door... that actually gave me the chills
lt dark ring i love pyour videos ♥️
I laughed when she daintily fell backwards.
Great video! Thank you for doing what you do!
This game getting cancelled and P.T. being removed from the marketplace are both absolute fucking tragedies. It's such a shame no greater project will ever come from this teaser, and it sucks even more that the teaser itself can never be played again unless you have it on your PS4 already or buy a ridiculously expensive one that has it installed. Still, thanks to you we have at least some more content to experience from it.
I still get scared of this game even when I have seen it so many times lol
God, the light in the hall casting the shadow of Lisa is so spooky and subtle - I know lots of folks who had no idea it was there. This demo was like a masterclass in horror gaming done right. Thanks so much for all your exploration into it!
There is something very scary to get to see what Lisa was really doing while we were playing but couldn't see. I can't imagine the goosebumps you probably got finding her walking like this as we could only hear her before 😱 It's like finding hidden home ghost activities !
And now when we will replay it, we will know for sure she's coming at the door with that creepy walk 😱
wow the radio is warning me when he said ' i said look behind you' i never care what he said
reko sama good, don't listen to it, because if you do look lisa kills you
Lance, you're a frigging maniac. This is amazing work. Sony should hire you.
That is so cool. The walk up to the bathroom door definitely surprised me. Lisa herself has such an ominous presence, it's easy to think of her as trapped within P.T. itself. And these small animations lend some weight to that little thought. Very rad!
Lisa hanging out everywhere? Wow, don't like that. This is absolutely incredible, it's so hard to believe that this was all created even though it would never have actually been seen by players.
The way she walks at the end, horrifying
Thank you so much.
It’s a crime against humanity that this game was cancelled.
Your discoveries have really changed the way I view the game - I never got to play it myself but have watched several let's plays of it and it always felt to me like Lisa was a villain, just one of the many specters haunting this house and/or the protagonist, and that the house itself was a villanous, alive entity as well. Seeing just how much Lisa is actually *doing*, walking, following the protagonist, physically closing and opening doors etc., made me view Lisa not as just another incidental evil spirit but as someone so hell bent on getting revenge and/or justice that she causes all the shit that happens in that house to occur. Like she's the protagonist, in a way. Which made the game even more memorable than it already was. Idk I don't really know how to phrase what I'm thinking but I just wanted to leave a comment to tell you how much your P.T. videos impacted my feelings about the game.
7:59 she looks like she's gonna pee😂 but she forgot the keys to take it with her.
That's why it's called PeeT lmaoo
This playable teaser has gone down in history as likely the best psychological horror videogame that was never released. I can't even imagine what the full game would've been like, given the forgotten but absolutely sublime concept movie that released in 2014. That one should be a benchmark for what horror trailers should be like.
Just by listening to the baby crying and the background noise I felt scared all over again. It's amazing how this 30min long teaser was so frightening and had more impact in the horror game industry than a load of full sized - and even some AAA - games. Some people may not like his work, but Kojima surely mastered the art of game directing.
Cool, more PT videos to further deepen my depression.
The part with the light revealing Lisa’s shadow is genius
No one ever talks about Lisa outside the first window shaking her head. Show that it scared the hell out of me.
My PC actually turned off after 'look behind you' from the radio when i was watching this video. That scared the shit out of me
I'm so intrigued that after all this time, we're still finding out things about it. Thank you so much for all your work analyzing and picking apart this demo.
I wish there was a PT-like game but set in The Shining
Imagine the sheer thrill of it
I fucking love that idea
the hotel from the shining seems like an open world compared to this recurring hall. fantastic idea!
I completely applaud Kojima for standing up for himself and going off to make his own uninterrupted art. If ever given the chance for a Kojima and Konami to come back together to attempt to bring this back, or even a full version to life, I think that would be just a right as rain
You're the man, Lancelot.
This game still scares the shit out of me until this very day, its the scariest thing I’ve ever experienced, the sound effects, having Lisa chase and haunt you constantly, not being able to do anything at all about it is just pure horror 😅
I'd love to learn more about Lisa's backstory! It's such a shame this game never came out
That last clip of her walking had me thinking that is creepy asf.
It’s funnier if you imagine it’s the assassin chain meme
To this day, a slightly opened door terrifies me.
You're work is amazing, dude. From any perspective it's nothing but comprehending how modeling, rigging and animating works as well as fiction and camera setting it's incredible to see someone not only developing this but someone going through with uncovering this detail. Thank you for working on this while showing us how developers put effort into this seemingly simple stuff which is actually extremely complicated.
Oh wow, this is absolutely breathtaking. So much attention to detail. Even on things that should by all intents and purposes never be seen. Amazing. Thank you.
It's a damn shame that one of the best experiences this generation will be forgotten to time. The amount of amazing things this game did for the indie horror genre was amazing
The game that keeps on giving. Just when I though that this was it from this game with the city exploration stuff you managed to dig up even more cool stuff from it. Awesome work.
Duh. This is just what ghosts do. They like to moonwalk backwards into the ground.
7:50 That is the coolest shit ever that you can never see. This would make a great background animation, walking around places spooking your exploration. Also I never realized that she only has one high heel.
she walks like she's got something on her mind
Like murder maby
you're doing an amazing job ! I think developers knew that people like you would crack up the PT code and see the secrets, and that's why they put Lisa Scenes.
walking lisa is f..ing scary more than usual, is it possible see her when she look at you outside the windows?
At 9:00 when watching Lisa walk (limp?) down the hallway, the way she's holding her arms suggests she's either favoring a leg or is meant to be using a cane. It makes me think that she's using an animation that was created with someone else in mind that they attached to her just to time out the footstep sounds. Possibly a character that was cut or was meant to be in the full game and someone had done some work on them already? I dunno, I just love to speculate on a 30 minute demo from 5 years ago, it's absolutely amazing how much work and detail is packed into this thing.
This game came out around the same year as the first FNAF game & Outlast, and I just remember these three being the main reasons I became so invested in the horror genre as a whole. Absolutely love this game
Literally depressing that this game was cancelled.

@@KF-hf4nt fake
Ok Lance I'll watch this at 1 am
I would like to think because of your driven motivation to uncover everything there is about p.t. that will have a direct hand in its resurrection. Showing the suits that there is demand for a full release, given the amount of support for each video.
This video in particular adds a whole other layer to p.t. incredible.
OMG I never would've guessed that lisa would actually walk down the hallway and stand there like that. What makes this even more unsettling is she seems to be attracted to the cries of he child. She just stands there with her head down hunched over. It would've been cool if we got a split screen jump scare of her waking down the hallway and standing there while you're trying get out of the bathroom.
Dude, please keep making videos on this. Your work is incredible. Thank you for this content!
I'm so glad you're digging and finding new stuff. I feel like you could go forever. Lisa walking to the bathroom is fucking terrifying.
It's incredible how much work and detail went into such a short game. Things that people are still discovering to this very day!
Every time I play through PT I still get really scared even after all these years it’s absolutely terrifying. I do always play late at night in the dark on my giant projector screen just to heighten the terror so I don’t do myself any favors.
Thank you very much for these insightful videos. This demo was a work of art and it still breaks my heart it may never be fully realised into a full game.
I think this would have been the scariest game ever made. I actually think.i would of been to scared to finish it. I struggled with this demo

I think Lisa holding her thy or actually her stomach and walking like that towards the bathroom could resemble the shot womb during the crime?
Thx to you I can edit my theory vid!! Give you credit also!!
StuuDudeッ
Or she had the bubble guts. I walk like that after eating Olive Garden.
Sean Wilks tru
I thought that too. After being shot she maybe stumbled around the house trying to find a place to hide. It's been a while since I played but was it ever explained or said that the fetus was cut out of her or did she have a miscarriage maybe?
My guess is they animated her walking outside the bathroom door just to give sound design an idea of how many heel steps to play. That or perhaps it is tied to those audio triggers.
