Over the course of his long career, Hideo Kojima has been responsible for some truly revolutionary games that flipped the industry upside down. Most notably, the Metal Gear Solid series is partly responsible for how modern video games engage with stealth, and their complex plotting and political critique were one of the earliest examples of how games could reach for something loftier than just interactive entertainment.
Ironically, Kojima’s second most well-known work is a game that never even came to fruition — the now-unavailable P.T. (Playable Teaser) was conceived as a demo for a canceled Silent Hill game, but took on a life of its own as something closer to an interactive short horror film. Its notoriety and impact on the gaming world has only grown since it was ripped from online stores back in 2015.
