So I got to a place where everything is red and there are moving eyeball pictures on the wall. But what I am hearing from you folks is that if I keep trying there is a legitimate trailer for the new game. I am very frustrated by the way this playable teaser plays. It is so frustrating to not have the slightest clue what to look at or how to activate the solution. But everything that happens is really creepy and there are some very good scare moments. I just wish it felt more predictable. I want to get from point A to B as quickly as possible. I don't want to spend a month somewhere between those two points.

Please send any hints to me if you can I am truly stumped.

UPDATE: Try this -
There is a small hallway in between two phones there is a picture in that small hallways.
The picture is on the floor look above that picture and there is a hole which leads into the peep hole in the bathroom.

Haven't played it myself, but from what I've managed to follow, there are messages on a wall above the door that you can spell out by looking at items and objects. So examine everything, look through holes in the wall. Look and examine everything you can BEFORE walking through the door that resets the loop. Flashes of German & foreign words etc. are also clues that they'd hope would bring collaboration across players worldwide.

The demo is made to be difficult to get through because they were hoping it'd take a couple days to a week before anyone could crack it. There's no exact walkthrough out there yet unfortunately.

This might hold some clues:

Some officially released videos of the demo playthrough?

So can I not progress any farther in the demo if I get jumped by the ghost lady? I'm stuck in the hall where it says gouge her eye out. I saw a walkthrough where the guy playing managed not to get attacked by her and I'm wondering if it's not possible to beat this if I get caught.

I've died at least once every time I got the ending.

On the pic, did you walk up to it and press X yet? the eye will poke out in the pic

No, since so far pressing X hasn't done anything else.

Ha ha! Don't know if this is confirmed yet, but...

According to recent developments on Gaf, they believe the mystery to solving the last puzzle depends on whether or not you are talking into a microphone to activate the switch... Apparently anyone who speaks into their headset microphone has been managing to get through it much easier than those without! So it's using the PS4 voice commands to detect sound to get you through it through either a headset or the EYE camera mike!

KOJIMAAAAAAA!!!!!!

Start of loop.
Go to HELL Message and turn around facing phone.
Once bell starts ringing, walk forward Ten footsteps and then stop.
Baby will giggle.
Walk over to phone and wait for bells to stop ringing.
Say "Hello?" into the mic and it should work.
Wait for vibration to start and then finish. Do not move during vibration or you'll have to start over.
Once vibration finishes, you'll get the third giggle.
Phone will ring.
Zoom in on it to activate it.
Hear an unlocking noise, so leave through loop door.

The timing of the speech may be a little later, but thats the gist of it.

UPDATE:

Clues to getting the phone call in foreign text:
からだがふるえました
My body shivered

つめたい手でした
It was a cold hand

Poi il suo indice scivolo sulla mia mano
Then slide your index finger on my hand

Glaubte ich ein Telefon zu hören
Did I hear a phone

Sussurrei seu nome
Whispered his name

Nell attesa inerte non and mossi piu
During the inert waiting, I stopped moving

Und durch Nebel schwindenden bewusstseins
And dwindling due to fog awareness.

I waited for it to pass.

Never moving a step, his hand in mine.

mas o vento da noite levou sua voz embora
but the night wind carried his voice away
What seems the solution:
1. when you hear bells ringing, take ten steps (hold forward), then stop. You should hear a giggle.
2. Then walk around while speaking through the mike until you hear a second giggle. The controller will start shaking. STOP moving.
3. When the controller stops vibrating the phone will ring. Go and examine it. You'll get the "chosen" message.
4. Go through loop door.

If this really is random, that is totally ridiculous. WTF.
To be fair, this is supposed to be an enigma. I don't think they were even expecting the trailer to be found so soon.

The clue is the blue 'X' painted on the picture. It's like a quicktime event. "X: Gouge it out!"

That comic is hilarious. Where did you find it?

Hmm, seems if this is the case (I haven't tried it, and it's late here, so I don't wanna give myself nightmares, will try tomorrow :P) the phrases need to be put in order as a series of instructions or something.

It's an amazing puzzle, seems lots of people are getting it accidentally. I think putting the words in order and stuff could be the way...

Und durch Nebel schwindenden bewusstseins
Consciousness fading in the fog

Sussurrei seu nome
Whispered his/her name ('His' and 'her' are the same in Portuguese)
- Say "Lisa" into the microphone?

つめたい手でした
It was a cold hand

からだがふるえました
My body trembled
- The controller vibrates?

Nell attesa inerte non and mossi piu
I waited, inert, and didn't move any more
- Stop moving!

I waited for it to pass.
- Stay still until the controller stops vibrating?

Never moving a step, his hand in mine.
- Stay still, maybe keep your hand on the touch pad or something...?

Poi il suo indice scivolo sulla mia mano
Then ran his index finger across my hand
- Perhaps you're supposed to slide your finger along the touch pad?

mas o vento da noite levou sua voz embora
but the night wind carried his voice away
- ...Then stop speaking?

Glaubte ich ein Telefon zu hören
Thought I heard the phone

The most consistent thing I'm seeing here, and from these clues, is to stand still when the controller vibrates. But first you gotta get it to vibrate! I'm thinking perhaps by speaking into the mic... It's almost like "say her name and then stay still until the trembling goes away".

Anybody want to add to this?

EDIT: Kojima tweeted that you should try to play P.T. with a headset on, so the talking into the mic has to have something to do with it!

Pretty sure her name is Lisa. :) It's written on the wall above the "loop" door.

Did you get the ending, Vixx?

I did replay the ending with the talking into the microphone. I started at the dresser with keys, walked 10 paces to the phone, got the baby laungh, stood there, got another, talked into the microphone. Controller vibration and got the call!

Its nuts!!! Pure nuts! lol

Yeah they really shouldn't have expected this to take that long.

My girlfriend and I managed to do it, but I probably wouldn't be able to do it again. I wasn't even sure how exactly we got it.

OMG, I keep getting killed in the "gouge" hallway. Can I still complete the game if I die here? I haven't even beaten it once yet, this is super frustrating.

Far as I can tell from my 5 times beating it, dying is not an issue. happened in all but one playthrough for me, really

Guys, I got the phone to ring and the teaser to play. You definitely need your headset plugged in. Here's what I did...

- Walked around for a little while.
- Once the bells rang, walked 10 steps and stopped, baby laughed out loud.
- Talked into the microphone a bunch, said things like "Lisa, hello Lisa, I'm sorry Lisa", (actually it progressed when I started calling loudly to my girlfriend in the other room, so you must have to shout/scream or something), this caused the baby to laugh and the controller to start vibrating.
- Stood COMPLETELY STILL while the controller vibrated, didn't do a thing until it stopped. (からだがふるえました / My body trembled, Nell attesa inerte non and mossi piu / I waited, inert, and didn't move any more, I waited for it to pass.)
- As soon as it stopped the phone rang (Glaubte ich ein Telefon zu hören / Thought I heard the phone), I was 'chosen' and when I went through the basement door the trailer played.

XD Sorry, meant to type Lisa, it was late at night when I wrote that.

This seemed like a good enough place to put this. I didn't feel like starting a new thread.

I didn't see this answered, and I'm curious as well. It actually made me laugh, a rare feat for something based around such a series of visceral horror like Silent Hill.

Also, off-topic, but I see, Droo, that you're from/living in/in for whatever reason Nova Scotia? That's kind of interesting, as that's where I'm from (and living) as well.
