Key Takeaways
- Dreams players recreated P.T. on PS5, showcasing the game’s versatility and potential beyond a creation tool.
- A fan-made P.T. remake in Dreams impresses with VR compatibility, Easter eggs, and a development gallery.
- The Dreams version of P.T. offers PS4 and PS5 players a chance to experience the legendary Silent Hills demo.
An unofficial remake of P.T. is playable on PS5 via the game Dreams. While many consider Dreams as more of a creation tool than a full-fledged game, some creative minds have exerted a lot of effort into remaking their own takes of many different titles. As Dreams is a Sony-exclusive title, games not available on PlayStation can sometimes make their way to the console via players who develop them in Dreams.
As an example, one fan made their own Avatar-inspired game in Dreams. And while that game was an amalgamation of ideas based on the Avatar franchise, it showed the flexibility that Dreams had in regard to creating possibilities. Other creators have made various IPs like The Last of Us and Cyberpunk 2077. Although a majority of creations resort to short demos and art installations, one player may have achieved something bigger.
One Dreams player named DrJones20 has finally shared their full remake of the playable teaser P.T. in the game. The creation is playable on both PS4 and PS5 and faithfully captures the feel, look, and gameplay of the supposed Silent Hills-interactive demo, albeit with a few graphical choices due to the engine’s limitations. The game even tries to replicate celebrity Norman Reedus’ appearance in the game. Some may remember the final product as DrJones20’s earlier P.T. demo in Dreams from a few years back. It’s quite interesting to see that they have finished their idea in collaboration with two other creators, APE_MONKEY_BOY21 and LuciferSainttt.
How Accurate Does The Dreams Version of P.T. Look?
According to the Dreams page at the time of publishing, the game has been played 1,869 times by 1,339 dreamers since it was first published on September 5, 2024. Many have praised the game for looking very authentic, down to the audio. What’s interesting about this release is that DrJones20 has stated that it’s VR-compatible, adding more uniqueness and scare factor to the original. A few fans have stated that this may very well be a definitive version of the title as it even adds a few Easter eggs and a development gallery. Some players have even stated that this could very well be one of the best games made in Dreams.
With P.T. being stuck in PS4 limbo due to its delisting, this recreation in Dreams may be the next best thing for those who want to experience what could have been the next chapter in Silent Hill. The legendary title has received wide acclaim, with some even wishing to replicate the success it spawned. Many games that followed tried to replicate the feel that P.T. evoked, with some fans even claiming that games like Resident Evil 7 may have taken inspiration from it. As such, this remake made using Dreams should give PS4 and PS5 players the opportunity to try out the P.T. experience.
