The stammering ghost that forms the basis of your fear in P.T., Kojima’s cancelled horror adventure, has even more pant-shitting tricks up her sleeve. Aussie Bloodborne/Sekiro/Souls hacker Lance McDonald has been messing around with the 2014 demo to unlock the game’s manual camera. Given all the stuff McDonald’s found recently in Control, and every other game, it’s a worthwhile endeavour.
The early findings were, uh, a bit concerning.

NOPE.
McDonald is still trying to unlock P.T.‘s full camera functionality, so there’s undoubtedly more secrets to be found. What mysteries lie behind P.T.‘s walls, I wonder?
