10 Video Game Exclusives You NEVER Got Over Not Playing

10. P.T. (Silent Hills) - PlayStation 4

Video game exclusives are sufficiently distressing when they’re limited to specific consoles, but they’re exponentially more hurtful when they’re no longer available period. Such is the case with 2014’s exceptional P.T., a short-lived playable teaser for a planned new entry in psychological horror series Silent Hill (called Silent Hills).

Co-directed by Hideo Kojima and Guillermo del Toro, the first-person experience had the player walk around a suburban house in a continuous loop (with each go-round getting more unnerving as grotesque secrets and subtle environmental and auditory changes appear).

All the while, the mysterious protagonist is stalked by a ghost named Lisa who – it turns out – walks behind you the entire time! If the player solves all the puzzles and escapes, they’re rewarded with an enticing teaser for Silent Hills (starring Norman Reedus at the peak of his Walking Dead-fuelled popularity).

Initially, the award-winning P.T. was only obtainable on the PlayStation 4 (where it was downloaded over a million times). What’s more, Silent Hills was soon canceled because of Kojima’s separation from Konami, leading Sony to remove P.T. from the PlayStation Network in April of 2015, and for anyone with it downloaded to their console able to profit spectacularly via eBay.

So, if you don’t have a PS4 with P.T. already installed, you’ll probably never be able to play it.
