Forums - Gaming - The Story of P.T.; Silent Hills Theories Discussion

Hey guys. Found this great video on r/games and thought I'd share it here. If anyone has 30 minutes to spare to listen to the story of P.T. and some interesting theories about Silent Hills, here ya go:

If anyone has any theories about Silent Hills or PT that they'd like to share please feel free to do it here

Ok, here are a few theories I have along with things I have noticed. Some were talked about in the above video:

  • Parallel universes or differing worlds of some nature (living vs dead perhaps), of which the line between has been blurred or broken. Reedus is the protagonist during PT. He enters the world of PT through the door in the concrete room and walks through someone elses memories. I think this is a theme we will see more of during the game: normal doors being actual portals to separate realities, and Reedus perhaps having to walk through other people's memories. What is one way in one reality is different in the other (for example within the TGS trailer, the purple ball becomes a severed head once it passes through the door).
  • The beings in the other world are able to communicate with this world through the radio. They influenced the fathers referenced in PT into familicide by communicating with them through said radio broadcasting.
  • Both PT Demo and the TGS teaser had a hallway theme, and other Silent Hill games have had these as well (SH Downpour's endless hallway). Within Downpour this symbolized his inability to ascend past the protagonists guilt. WIthin PT the hallway moves downward. Could this symbolize the descent into madness?

I will post more theories as I come up with them.
