10 Terrifying Video Games Where You Can't Fight Back
2. P.T. (2014)
P.T will forever go down as one of the biggest missed opportunities in video game history.
A mysterious playable teaser for an at the time unannounced Silent Hill reboot, P.T chilled players to the core with an almost perfect blend of intriguing gameplay, creepy sound design and chilling imagery.
Gamers were forced to wander the same section of a house, again and again, each time getting increasingly more scary as eventually the player is treated to the haunting visual of the specter Lisa standing ominously before a bulb smashes and she disappears in the darkness.
From there on out it becomes a thrilling game of cat and mouse as Lisa stalks the player, and they, in turn, try to deduce the extremely obscure puzzles of the hallway. Making things even worse, the player is completely helpless to prevent Lisa's attacks.
All they can do is pray that they can avoid her death grip long enough to attempt to solve a puzzle in order to make any progress at all. You're completely vulnerable and as a result on edge non-stop.
Truly one of the most frightening experiences in gaming history, P.T's legacy is set in stone even if Silent Hill's, sadly, is not.
