Konami Releases Another P.T./Silent Hills Reactions Video
Following its assorted Gamescom presentations of P.T. (Silent Hills), Konami has released another video of reactions from players, this time from older Japanese women.
You can check out the video below, which shows the women playing the game in a darkened room filmed with a special night-vision camera. Most react as you would expect – horrified – but there are a few standouts.
One woman, seems to be muttering to herself in fear, and suddenly her expression changes to what you see above. I'm not even sure how to describe it. My favorite, however, has to be the woman at about 0:53 who offers absolutely no change in facial expression whatsoever. She is completely unperturbed by the horrors appearing on screen.
For more on P.T. (Silent Hills), head here to discuss the teaser's ending and here for a Q & A with Hideo Kojima about the teaser.
Our Take
Playing through P.T. the other night, my wife had to deliberately look away as I played, because watching was just too upsetting for her.
