Sure, Kojima’s experimental horror hallway was creepy when it first graced our screens in 2014, however PT seems even creepier in the event you push it additional into the previous. Developer Ryan Trawick, who’s made some other odd things wot we’ve appreciated, has recreated the spooky groundhog day within the vintage utility HyperCard. It seems fairly moody in outdated black and white.
Ye olde HyperCard is an early Macintosh growth package that allow builders hyperlink issues along with revolutionary hyperlinks. You may need fond recollections of not less than one HyperCard game. Myst was constructed as a stack again in its day. It might not precisely be excessive trend the place game engines are involved, however people are nonetheless utilizing it to make neat issues. Trawick has recreated the “playable teaser” for a canned Silent Hill game that everyone knows as PT.
HyperPT might lack a few of the ambiance of the unique PT wot with not being fairly as technically superior. The vibrant black and white isn’t precisely a leap scare manufacturing unit, particularly for anybody who’s performed by way of PT earlier than.
Still, HyperPT has a unique type of creep issue. It jogs my memory of the dangerous outdated days being a child alone on the pc and never absolutely comprehending its powers. Any mouse click on might be a mistake. Every horrible sputtering hard-drive noise a attainable warning. Computers had been like unknowable aliens to me then and HyperPT’s vibe takes me again. Ah, candy childhood, aye?
As for the way faithfully it’s been transposed, Trawick says “some stuff is stripped back, some stuff is added; you’ll just have to play to find out.”
This outdated twist on PT was created as a part of HyperJam. There are another neat objects additionally created with HyperCard in the course of the game jam earlier this month. By the by, PT’s spawned another fan works together with the foolish QT.
You can discover HyperPT over on Itch priced at pay-what-you-want.
Ta, Warp Door.
