Could Kojima's OD be the P.T. game we always wanted?

During The Game Awards last week, Hideo Kojima was given a sizable chunk of stage-time – alongside horror director Jordan Peele – to show off a very brief, unnerving teaser for Kojima Productions’ upcoming game, OD.

This bizarre teaser showed two characters, portrayed by Sophia Lillis and Udo Kier, as they recited poetry. After a minute or so, Lillis’ face contorts and she begins to scream as we hear a door open, and see its reflection in her eyes. Kier’s character, on the other hand, has something a little more elusive going on; there are letters appearing – albeit very blurred – in his mouth.

First spotted by Central Xbox, these letters ultimately spell out Atami. Atami is a city in Japan based in Shizuoka prefecture, and when Shizuoka is written in kanji, it reads as 静岡. Split apart, 静 can mean ‘quiet’ or ‘silent’, while 岡 can mean ‘hill’. That’s right; Kojima has seemingly had a Silent Hill tease quietly and discreetly inserted into OD’s teaser trailer.
