* {{Minimalism}} "P.T." runs off of this, cramming the maximum amount of creepy into an extremely small space (like an even more efficient version of The Room years ago). You have, at most, two halls, a bathroom, an entryway and once in a blue moon you wake up in a tiny dark room.

The title was originally announced at Gamescom 2014 as a new {{Horror}} IP called ''P.T.'', by a new developer called 7780s Studio, with a demo made available on {{PlayStation 4}} directly after the announcement. However, completing the demo revealed it to in fact be a "'''P'''layable '''T'''easer" for a long rumored new ''Franchise/SilentHill'' game. The teaser itself has little to do with the actual game.
