  "account": "Hideo Kojima, the creator of the renowned horror game Silent Hill series, has acknowledged a fan-made port of P.T., a popular fan-made teaser for the canceled Silent Hill game. P.T. was initially released in August 2014 as a short demo, but due to Hideo Kojima's falling out with Konami, the game was cancelled and the demo was removed from the PlayStation store in 2015. Despite its removal, a dedicated fan named LoreanXavier has managed to create a port of the game that is playable on Windows PCs. The modder has described the port as being 97% complete, and it is essentially a 1:1 version of P.T. with the same house, original content, Lua scripts, loops, events, progression, and ending puzzle. LoreanXavier's port even includes the game's voice-recognition section. The modder has shared 30 minutes of gameplay footage on YouTube, and fans are already calling for the modder to make the code open-source. Hideo Kojima himself retweeted an article about the port on Twitter/X, showing his support for the fan-made project. Kojima's next horror game, OD, is still in development, and fans are eager to see what he will create next after the success of P.T.",
