At the 2014 Gamescom held in Cologne, Germany, a demo of a horror game simply known as "P.T." was released to the public. The horror game demo was said to be the work of game developer, 7780 Games.

The demo was for the PS4 console and was immediately downloaded by players around the world.  It didn't take long for the players to realize "P.T." is actually the newest and probably most terrifying installment yet of the "Silent Hill" series.

The chilling demo is a collaboration of Japanese auteur Hideo Kojima and horror movie director Guillermo del Toro.  Kojima has already played this kind of gimmick before with "Metal Gear Solid V."

The playable demo wasn't only horrifying enough but also quite frustrating and tedious for many players, which is probably the intention all along.  Kojima expects frustrated players to gather in online forums to talk about how to beat the playable trailer of "Silent Hill."

Kojima didn't anticipate how quickly the players were able to finish the playable demo, however.  It took merely a few hours to play the demo game.  Walkthrough and solutions were presented online and more videos were unlocked from the game demo.

Fortunately, the gimmick worked and players are eagerly waiting for the release of the latest installment of "Silent Hill."  So far, no official release date has been confirmed.

Meanwhile, the main protagonist of the film will be played by "Walking Dead" actor Norman Reedus.  During an interview, the actor said that he was "super excited" when asked by Kojima and del Toro.

The name of the game's protagonist has yet to be revealed but the game studio is already recording the voice and motion capture of Reedus for the upcoming "Silent Hill" game.
