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?

If you haven’t yet checked out Aniplex Inc. and JOYCITY Corporation’s Resident Evil Survival Unit, the free-to-play real-time strategy game has just announced a new collaboration with another Capcom property in Monster Hunter to entice prospective players. Kicking off on July 2 and running until July 29, the limited-time collaboration will introduce Monster Hunter–inspired elements into the post-apocalyptic world of Resident Evil Survival Unit, adding large-scale monster encounters to the game’s strategic systems.
Details on the collaboration are being kept under wraps for now, but during the event, players will be able to participate in collaboration-exclusive in-game events that will earn them special rewards inspired by the Monster Hunter series. We do get a brief teaser trailer for the upcoming event, which in addition to teasing various monsters for players to battle, also promises new units for players to recruit.
Set in a parallel world inspired by the Resident Evil universe, the game features an original storyline and real-time strategic gameplay designed for mobile platforms. Players will build bases, secure resources, and battle creatures in a collapsed city. Iconic characters such as Leon S. Kennedy, Claire Redfield, and Jill Valentine appear throughout the game, allowing for team formations that bring together characters from across the Resident Evil franchise, enabling unique combinations not seen in the original titles.
Resident Evil Survival Unit is available on iOS and Android devices.
