Fan Recreates ‘P.T.’ Using Old-School HyperCard Software
With the rumoured Silent Hills resurrection still kicking around, how about another fanmade remake of the P.T. demo? This one comes courtesy of Ryan Trawick over at itch.io, who has recreated the P.T. demo using the HyperCard software.
If you’re not familiar with Hypercard, it was a development tool for the Macintosh that allowed creators to use hyperlinks to make databases and multimedia presentations. Of course, some folks ended up using the tech to create games, most notably the classic adventure game Myst.
As for this recreation of P.T., it’s quite accurate, but also feels like Mindscape’s classic point-and-click adventure game, Uninvited (which subsequently received an NES port). Still, until Konami (or Sony) finally gives fans a definitive answer regarding Silent Hills, we’ve at least got the fanbase to rely on for cool stuff like this. Plus, it’s free to check out. So, why not?
Bloober Team appears to have something in the works related to Cronos: The New Dawn. At least, that would appear to be the case, thanks to an accidental reveal ahead of this weekend’s IGN Live event as part of Summer Game Fest.
In the list of title reveals during the event, something referred to as “Cronos: Lazarus” appeared in the list, but was quickly scrubbed. However, not before the internet picked up on it. Adding more fuel to the reveal were two screenshots posted to X by insider Intercelluar, which appear to show the official art. It’s not clear yet, but this is more than likely a new DLC for Cronos: The New Dawn, given that Bloober Team is already busy with multiple other titles, including the Silent Hill remake, and the recently-announced Layers of Fear 3.
If you haven’t checked out Cronos: The New Dawn (and you never read Aaron’s review of the game), the game is set in the haunting ruins of New Dawn, a world inspired by Nowa Huta, a real historical district in Kraków, Poland. Cronos: The New Dawn unfolds across two timelines: a post-apocalyptic future decaying in despair, and the gritty, industrial 1980s reality. This powerful duality blends retro realism, dystopian sci-fi, and a retro-futuristic atmosphere to create a deeply immersive world filled with tension, mystery, and terror.
Players step into the hunting suit of The Traveler — an enigmatic agent of the Collective, sent into zones scarred by the Change, a cataclysmic event that shattered time, memory, and flesh. What remains is a world suspended between past and future — haunted, hostile, and unravelling. Survival is anything but certain.
