The ‘Silent Hills’ Demo’s Final Puzzle Solved! Maybe.

Published

on

If you’re not yet familiar with the P.T. “interactive teaser” released during Gamescom last week, it was used to trick us all into thinking we were getting a brand new horror IP, when it really ended up being a clever reveal of Silent Hills. Hideo Kojima was behind it, naturally, and unless you’ve gotten some hands-on time with it, you might not be fully aware of how frustratingly difficult it can be.

The demo covers a single L-shaped hallway and a bathroom, yet somehow, the team that made it was able to transform that simple environment into something that’s both familiar, yet at the same time terrifying and unpredictable. It can be downloaded from the PlayStation Store, takes a little over an hour to complete, and wastes nary a second with hand-holding.

The game is brimming with challenging puzzles, with many of them requiring a near-superhuman level of attention to detail to solve.

There’s one puzzle in particular that waits at the end of the demo, long after the wills of even the bravest of gamers have been broken. The puzzle was solved within hours of the demo’s release, but until now we’ve had no idea how.

If you’ve been having trouble solving the final puzzle, YouTuber TheGrateDebate has you covered in a video that goes super in-depth in solving the puzzle once and for all. It sounds like coming up with the solution was a group effort, and requires the player to do a number of things. I can’t say I fully get this, but I do know that solving it has something to do with a clock alarm and taking the time to listen to a certain number of baby laughs.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
