this is one of the few ones I would actually want to bother a film critic like Jonathan Rosenbaum or Dave Kehr with. It's one of the best examples of the advantages games have for misc-en-scene over movies, until the wall scrawls and twitchy lady start showing up anyway. The creepiest thing in the game is just stepping through the door and seeing the same hallway again.



Gyaaah, yes, you are correct. The twitchy broad is goofy and unresolved but at that point I've been so goddamn creeped out it's OK. The X over the face is my favorite puzzle in years. (The 5200 port has a dead floppy fish there.) You're right, Vested Id. Just going into the same room again is my favorite gaming moment in the last blah blah years.

I signed up for a PSN account even though I don't have a PS4. (I played P.T. at a friend's house.) I pay money for the average Steam game and don't get a chance to play it. For P.T. I'm signing up because I hope to have it one day. I'm pretty sure this will let me get it at a later date, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's a Flappy Bird situation where hardware that has it installed will be valuable because of COURSE Sony and Konami will fuck it up.
