Some fan out there has proven their worth to society by bringing everyone's favorite source of terror, P.T., to VR, with the help of a Half-Life: Alyx mod. Just when you thought the world was done with P.T. (okay, to be fair, not sure who'd really believe that anyway), along comes AmbientDruth with this awesome project.
It really is remarkable how P.T. has stood the test of time, since its 2014/2015 drama of being released and subsequently pulled from public access soon after. It sent shockwaves through the genre of horror gaming back then, being considered by many folks to be the one of the greatest and most terrifying games belonging to the genre, ever.
Since P.T. was taken down from the PlayStation Store five years ago, fans have been trying everything they can to revive the beloved masterpiece, to varying degrees of success. That's not because the attempts themselves are sub-par, mind you, but more that The (Konami) Powers That Be step in and force their removal from public access. We're really hoping that doesn't happen in the case of AmbientDruth and their P.T. tribute.
The modder has recreated the familiar looping hallway of P.T. using the Half-Life: Alyx modding capabilities, and although it's not quite finished yet, it's looking great so far. Clearly a great level of effort was funnelled into replicating both the big and small details from the original as faithfully as possible.
These include those signature ambient radio sounds, Lisa's horrifying moans and groans, the talking paper bag, the light and rain ambience, as well as the red corridor segments. Perhaps it's worth remembering that this is all in VR. Seriously, whomever is brave enough to try this themselves, you get a gold star.
AmbientDruth intends to continue adding to the mod over time, starting with more accurate lights, textures, and props, endings akin to those in the original, and even some Easter Eggs. You can check out the mod's Steam page for regular updates.
