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

Published

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.

AreYouWatching.com: ‘The Watchers’ Interactive Website Is Full of Creepy Easter Eggs

Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.

The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.

Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere can be seen trapped inside.

You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.

There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…

The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
