A few years ago, Hideo Kojima and Guillermo Del Toro co-created a demo called P.T. that impressed both critics and gamers. It was to serve as a teaser for the highly awaited Silent Hills game. Unfortunately, we're unlikely to see the project as envisioned and Konami has since removed the demo for download.
Seen as a spiritual successor to P.T, Visage shares some similarities with it. Once again, a first person point of view is used. Players are required to explore the gaming environment – in this case a house – in order to find keys and other items that will open up more areas of the world.
The sound design is quite good -- the sound of the ticking clock, the rain and the player’s footsteps kept me on edge throughout. I can imagine that playing this on headphones will further enhance the experience.

Visage will be released on Playstation, Xbox One and PC later this year.
