8 Insane Video Game Secrets That Made You Say WHAT?!

3. She's Right Behind You - P.T.

While we might never get to know what P.T's actual full-fledged release might have looked like thanks to Konami fudging things up so badly with auteur video game director and certified cheeky whippet Hideo Kojima, the Playable Teaser still remains one of the purest and indeed most terrifying horror experiences we've yet played on consoles.

The atmosphere is tense and heightened to breaking point by the tight claustrophobic corridors, and the endless repetition of walking the same halls over and over, adds to the sense of paranoia and dread that hits you when you witness small changes.

Oh and then, of course, there's Lisa who will grab you at some point and scare the living daylights out of you.

Yet you know what makes that close and personal encounter all the scarier? The fact that she's right behind you all the bloody time.

In order to give the player small glimpses of Lisa in reflections, and to pipe breathing/creaking noises behind you, Lisa's graphical rig is planted right behind the player from the start, and knowing that she's just hovering over your shoulder makes the experience all the more terrifying.
