I heard the crying and I knew we should be looking at the mirror, but with everyone talking over the sounds and giving conflicting advice, I knew that shouting yet another set of directions at Josh would only add to the chaos. This resulted in about ten minutes of us staring at the Wrong Things.<\/p>\n<p>In our defense: Josh could only hear the game in one ear. Chris was reading from directions that were out of date and incomplete. And everyone but Josh was seeing everything on a six second delay. <\/p>\n<p>Hopefully this is still amusing on some level. I&#8217;m not a huge fan of these kind of mystery teaser shenanigans, so I wasn&#8217;t really motivated to unravel this puzzle. All I wanted was for us to have interesting things to see and comment on, which this &#8220;stare at a haunted object&#8221; gameplay kind of defeated. For the record, if you unravel all the mysteries you end up seeing the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Ay_RAkE7bUY\">teaser trailer for the actual game they&#8217;re working on<\/a>, which looks so unlike what we&#8217;ve seen so far that we&#8217;ve learned nothing.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re curious about how the mystery worked, it looks like players have managed to solve the whole thing:<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><table class='nomargin' cellspacing='0' width='100%' cellpadding='0' align='center' border='0'><tr><td><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nUTTCfZe8Yc\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen class=\"embed\"><\/iframe><br\/><small><a href='http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=nUTTCfZe8Yc'>Link (YouTube)<\/a><\/small><\/td><\/tr><\/table><\/p>\n<p>While the P.T. demo wasn&#8217;t as entertaining as we&#8217;d hoped, it did make for a good proof-of-concept that we can cover console games.
