10 Disturbing Video Game Secret Areas You Regret Finding

4. P.T. Radio Message - Metal Gear Solid V

Metal Gear Solid V isn't exactly a scary game, but P.T., the project Hideo Kojima was working on prior to separating from Konami, absolutely was.

Despite the secret Silent Hills game being canned and the director being booted, a reference was still slipped into the last Metal Gear Solid, and it's spooky as all hell.

While sneaking your way through a random tent, you can actually hear the news report from the demo - by far the creepiest part of the whole thing - which relays the story of a murdered family and even lets out a sinister "don't touch that dial now" directly to the player.

The fact it's never brought up, and there are no direct connections between the two games (along with P.T. itself being so mysterious and spooky) will make you nope right the hell outta there.
