12 Years Later, Canceled Kojima Game 'P.T.' Makes A Comeback
Key Points:
- Hideo Kojima's 2014 horror game teaser, P.T., was removed from the PlayStation Store in 2015, making the original game largely inaccessible except through expensive secondhand hardware.
- Fans have since recreated or drawn inspiration from P.T., but a recent homebrew PC port by developer LoreanXavier now allows the original game to be played on PC, provided players own a copy or use a jailbroken PlayStation 4.
- The PC version includes enhancements such as higher resolution, mouse and keyboard support, AMD upscaling, and frame rates beyond 30 FPS, although it may not fully replicate the original experience's impact.
- P.T. was notable for its mysterious gameplay loop and innovative design, serving as a teaser for the canceled Silent Hills project and influencing Kojima's later work, including Death Stranding.
