Lisa from P.T.
The “Playable Teaser” (P.T.) from the canceled Silent Hills was already scary enough, even before the first time you laid eyes on Lisa’s wonderful face. P.T. is an atmospheric experience that brought players to the edge with its disturbing calm.
Lisa, the disturbing figure that appears in the endless apartment corridor, behaved completely unpredictably. Her jerky and inhuman movements caused discomfort. You never knew exactly what she would do next.
Hard to say which moments were worse. The moments when she literally starts shaking in the player’s face, or rather those with some distance from your character but absolute, inhuman stillness, while she stares at you from the corridor.
Lisa managed to turn an absolutely ordinary, almost boring place – like a corridor with doors and a bathroom – into a total nightmare, whose sight became as recognizable as it is iconic.
Rest in peace, P.T. – you were great. But Lisa will be missed less.
