That freaking fridge
The timing on this video could not be better. As a new PlayStation 4 owner, one of the first games I knew I had to download was P.T., a playable teaser lead-in to Silent Hills. It’s a weird game — “experimental,” if you like — that obfuscates its mechanics to create a deeply unsettling experience. A hallway loops. A creepy fetus thing cries in a sink. A ghost pops up unexpectedly.
While I don’t think I’ve played a scarier game in my life, much of the story was lost on me. Enter The Grate Debate, a YouTube channel covering Silent Hill analysis and discussion, with answers and compelling speculation. At just under 40 minutes long, you’re going to want to settle in.
Maybe keep the lights on.
