8 Video Game Moments You Didn't Realise Were Tricking You
2. Lisa Is Always Behind You - PT
Another Kojima entry, in his Twitter thread on the details in MGS V, the acclaimed director boasted that he'd gotten a lot more subtle with his trickery by the time it came to announce P.T.
And, boy, he was not wrong.
From its mind-blowing announcement to the obscure puzzles that most fans simply gave up on to watch on YouTube, this small but effective teaser continued to peel back layers long after its initial release. In fact, it was just last year that it was revealed that the game's only enemy, a ghostly apparition called Lisa, is even more terrifying than initially thought.
That's because when she's not trying to pursue you or ominously staring at you from the floor above, Lisa is literally behind the player, following them around.
This was only revealed when someone modded the game to see the camera from outside the first-person view, and realised that the Lisa character model was attached to the player's back. So, now you know when you're playing that if you think you can feel her creeping up behind you with her breath on your neck, you're not imagining it.
