Camera Hack Confirms Norman Reedus is Your Character in ‘P.T.’
YouTuber Lance McDonald once again has been fiddling around with the camera in P.T.. Only this time, instead of confirming that a ghost is always right behind you in the game, Lance revealed that your character in the game is, in fact, Norman Reedus (as if there was any doubt).
Just to put any uncertainty finally to rest after all this time, yes, the guy you play as in P.T. is the same guy we see in the ending cinematic. Not that there any real doubt, but yeah, it's Norman Reedus the whole time. pic.twitter.com/PXh5svLRSi

Okay, so that’s a no-brainer. But why did it take so long to figure out? In an email interview with IGN, Lance explains why: “You usually can’t see his face because the mirror is covered in filth specifically to obscure it. I moved the camera down to a little above chest height to get a clear look at one of the cleaner parts of the mirror.”
Cue the “what could have been” talk. Seriously, the fact that Konami is essentially ignoring fans’ interest in seeing a proper Silent Hill game again boggles the mind.
