For people wanting to play P.T.

A former game dev at Bloober Team, Artur Łączkowski, wanted to save the P.T. demo and preserve it. He ripped it from his PS4 and ran it through the software he had access to working as a game dev and made it playable on PC. He had uploaded it to his Itch.io page and it was there for a month or so before it got taken down. He then moved it to his Patreon page. I managed to grab it before it got taken down from itch.io. The ending sequence was also in "real time" and was explorable. He made a separate build just for the "walkable" ending. I've uploaded them to my Google drive so anyone can download them. the demo is nearly flawless having only a slight stutter on the start of each loop when the door opens. It's runs on the SteamDeck as well. Here are the links to the files: The P.T. demo: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1eKHtbKFfuW1AIqe_tHGrEJ1sRGStV84h?usp=sharing The "real time" ending section: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1WTBe7aHhO5uk7qikGjJnVdcb4XJU4Hqn?usp=sharing

I'm decompiling and rebuilding P.T. as a native PC port that runs on the original game files, aiming for 1:1 (WIP)

Edit: the full 30 minute video of the port is up, start to finish, 1:1 with the original: watch it here

I've been working on a native Windows port of P.T. It isn't an emulator, a wrapper, or a remake in another engine. I'm rebuilding the game's logic and rendering in C++ and Vulkan by reverse engineering the PS4 executable, and it runs on the original data files from your own copy of the game.

The first image is the original PS4 build (captured through a patched shadPS4) next to the port, rendered from the exact same camera pose.

What works right now

  • The whole game, from the first-boot options screen and the preface to the ending, including the voice step (offline speech recognition, nothing goes to the cloud)

  • The game's own Lua scripts, traps, cutscene streams and Lisa's animation rig, all driven by the original data

  • Fox Engine's rendering path rebuilt from the PS4 shaders: deferred lighting with shadows, local reflections, depth of field, motion blur, bloom, color grading, film grain, lens flares and the volumetric fog of the ending

  • A from-scratch runtime for the game's Wwise sound banks (3D panning, reverbs, the radio broadcast with subtitles) and the original controller vibration

  • 60+ fps (the original is locked to 30), any resolution, mouse and keyboard, DualSense, Xbox and other pads with hot plug, optional AMD FSR 3.1

How I check it's 1:1
The original runs in the emulator with scripted pad input and logged camera poses, and the port renders the same moments from the same poses so every frame can be compared side by side. Along the way I found and fixed a texture streaming bug in shadPS4 that made P.T.'s walls and floors render with black bands in the emulator.

What's left
Small lighting and material differences in a few rooms, some timing details, and a lot more side-by-side checking. No release date yet.

Happy to answer technical questions.

P.T.'s scariest line goes completely unnoticed

Post image
373 Upvotes

During the fake crash halfway through the game, you will receive one of six error messages. One of the possible messages is:

This game is purely fictitious. It cannot harm you in any way, shape, or form.

At first glance, this message isn't particularly scary. A bit creepy, but fairly innocuous compared to some of the other possible crash screens.

Now compare this message to a previous line we heard during the radio broadcast. Specifically, the part that details how the daughter was killed.

His six-year-old daughter had the good sense to hide in the bathroom, but reports suggest he lured her out by telling her it was just a game.

The message from the crash screen is more or less exactly what the daughter heard right before being murdered by her father. This is the game's subtle way of telling us "This game is NOT fictitious, and it CAN harm you."

P.T. Port to Unity 6 Running on PC (WIP)

171 Upvotes

WIP port of P.T. to Unity 6.

Everything is being kept as close to the original PS4 version as possible, including the environment, object placement, scale, lighting, animations, interactions, and overall behavior.

Since this is being ported to a different engine, some of the original game systems and scripting have to be reimplemented in Unity.

Still very much a work in progress, so some things are incomplete or not fully accurate yet.

Note: Claude was used as an AI-assisted coding and reverse-engineering tool during development.

The port will require the original P.T. game files; no original game assets will be included.
