Ok let's try to find something common. There has to be variables and constants right? There is so much extra shit that it clouds what we see.

Let's start with this, if you are like me you are loading your save from the infinite loop. Every single time I load it up, after the first possession if I walk around a while she kills me. Every time, it is the only constant thing I have seen.

So if you have a save there, load up and see if she kills you during the first possession.

Sadly this probably means nothing as the posts above mention they died so it's probably just cause it happens all the time.

Ok had a blue room and a ghost scared the living shit out of me

 

[ZROCOOL]

Quite possibly the opposite. You may have to die at some point.



It's just when she sees you and rushes you. Then you can hear the usual radio noise constantly, and she may kill you randomly until you loop and reset everything.

Because I tried the following:

Pretty sure multiple times i beat it, the KEY thing was getting possessed by the ghost so that when you stop you can hear her breathing next to you. It must be a combination of going through and looking at all the photos and objects around the area. (better to look at them all since we dont know which ones are key for getting the phone to ring) My theory, now that you and the ghost are one, you have to show her all things in the area to get her to let you go. Therefore, the phone beginning to ring.

Not sure if the giggles matter, but replaying a few times they have appeared in different areas or times.

EDIT: I believe possession is required. It's just that some people who beat it didn't realize they were possessed since sometimes it happens when you turn a corner quickly or when the ghost is behind you.

EDIT: Also, I believe being killed once is key. It seems to be a major trigger that has you waking in the room with the talking bag and moving you to the final section.

But that didn't work. Heck she killed me on the first try when showing her a pic.

Edit- what's this talking bag? I have yet to see that

Well getting killed certainly doesn't negate you from winning. I got killed early on on the first time round.

The talking bag is on a table behind you in the room you initially wake up in.
You can't do anything with it until you have the flashlight.

And it and the talking baby are NOT required for finishing. I didn't even know those things happened.

 

[IrishNinja]

yeah, my final loop hallways have nearly no lights at all. gonna get posessed again & look at everything i guess, only puzzle piece i can't seem to find (from gamefaqs);

Go to the front door and look at the turned off old radio and plant that is covered in spider webs. It is in that spider web on the plant.

not that it necessarily matters, but can anyone narrow that one down a bit more?

You have beat it multiple times?! How many times do you go through the door to loop? Did you just stay in one hall until you got it?

It's probably the piece near the ceiling, look up toward the wall that has the bathroom, look from the entrance of the house it is between the entrance and the bathroom, where the wall and ceiling meet.

 

[ActuallyHulk]

Well I can consistently trigger the first giggle by waiting for midnight, checking the hell scribble, and then examining the phone but I'm lost after that. I won't rest until I've got this beat. It will bug me to no end.

 

[jett]

I guess nobody has solved shit and they literally stumbled upon the ending. :lol GG Kojima.

What does the ghost do during this?

 

[KooPaL]

I am stuck in a loop where i am in the house and everything is red and I am moving very fast. Did that scenario happen to anyone and is that solvable?

Look for something out of place. Yeah it's solvable.

 

[KooPaL]

Cool thanks! I felt really hopeless running around haha

 

[XaosWolf]

Kojima has unofficially challenged us by his statement regarding it taking a week.
Many have stumbled across the solution, recorded it even, and we will figure this out.

But if it turns out he was just trolling and it is completely random, then fuck him and his little del Toro too.

Look for a picture on the floor. Above it is a little hole. Pork trough it with R3 and listen to the whole sequence.

I just hear the voice coming from the radio when I do it.

Nah I trust him. What I guess they didn't anticipate are people accidentally solving it.

 

[vypek]

Maybe to solve, you can never have left the hallway to early? As in, you always solved the puzzle before going through the door again.

Just got strangled and saw the talking bag

I have noo clue if I'm making any progress thou lol

 

[#miller]

So.. Playing the last loop for a while got me thinking. Why is this one message that sometimes appears out of nowhere sounding like it is backwards?
Probably because it is. ;-)
After that thought, and this is actually repeatable, I walked through the cellardoor, having my light in the normal white color, I turned around, as brave as I have been, and walked the hallway backwards. Now what every time happened was as simple as that the light at the maindoor was lit every single time. Switched of, when walking bavkwards further down the cellar stairs.

Now I don't know where this discovery may lead, but I've not seen this anywhere.

 

[TetraGenesis]

Something is visibly out of place. Find where it used to be and investigate.

I hope that is vague enough

I think I know what it is but I've been investigating there and haven't had anything change. I'll look harder.

 

[NegativeCero]

Well, I guess I'm playing this tonight. I still find it hard to believe it lives up to that ridiculous trailer.

 

[VanCityGamer]

The way Kojima is talking on stage right now, he's using the word "solve". Or at least, his translator is.

I feel like there may actually be a 'solution'. Or multiple solutions.

Don't see how that's possible considering I literally turned off my TV and left the character staring at the mirror for an hour. When I came back and turned the TV on, the phone was ringing.

 

[MiamiWesker]

I just hear the voice coming from the radio when I do it.

No you don't. Every single time you go through a loop and the bell rings the ghost is somewhere in the room until she possess you. You hear her you just probably missed her.

And her voice never comes from the radio or phone, people get confused by the possession where they think it's coming from certain spots when she is really on top of you.

 

[Robdraggoo]

This thread gives me mad hype for the eventual release. if the whole game is like this I can see GAF working together and solving this game. sounds like alot of fun

 

[SolidSnakex]

I guess nobody has solved shit and they literally stumbled upon the ending. :lol GG Kojima.

That seems to be intentional as Kojima thought it'd take people a week to figure it out. So they purposely made it extremely hard to finish.

 

[vypek]

Sounds like progress.

Spoiler

There is something to be "solved" after the talking bag.

I think I know what it is but I've been investigating there and haven't had anything change. I'll look harder.

I think you'll know when you do it right. You might just not be doing the right thing even if you know what it is.

 

[SkylineRKR]

I never looked at the bag. And I never got the ending lol.

No you don't. Every single time you go through a loop and the bell rings the ghost is somewhere in the room until she possess you. You hear her you just probably missed her.

She can also stand outside of the window. She is harmless if this happens.

 

[VanCityGamer]

There's absolutely no way it will be as hard as P.T. though. The game simply wouldn't sell.

 

[IrishNinja]

It's probably the piece near the ceiling, look up toward the wall that has the bathroom, look from the entrance of the house it is between the entrance and the bathroom, where the wall and ceiling meet.

ah, that was the other tricky one, i believe you mean this:

Look at the bathroom door,and up at the ceiling. Now move to the left and look in the corner of the ceiling.

the last one (there's 6, yeah? no idea how to view them at all)

Go to the front door and look at the turned off old radio and plant that is covered in spider webs. It is in that spider web on the plant.

there's webs to the left of that plant (by the radio) but i can't find anything there

got myself possessed again & am chilling in front of the mirror, hoping for a phone call that's not coming

 

[MiamiWesker]

I never looked at the bag. And I never got the ending lol.

Right there too and the mirror she is harmless too.

 

[Daffy Duck]

So how do I get of the eyeball corridor?

Spoiler

ive looked through the hole and the painting is back on the wall

This teaser is the scariest game I've ever played. It's horrible.

There is no piece in the bathroom.

Is bottles near clock, plant, teddy bear, ceiling, beneath the staircase.

 

[SkylineRKR]

Right there too and the mirror she is harmless too.

One time she was actually standing inside the bathroom which sort of freaked me out.

And did you notice that when possessed, you hear one footstep from her after a few from yourself? Its a heel.

 

[Manu]

She can also stand outside of the window. She is harmless if this happens.

When I reloaded my save today, she appeared outside the window when the bells rang.

And then she killed me.

That seems to confirm that she will kill you when you reload your save, regardless of what you do.

 

[EL CUCO]

Ok my wife picked up a call from work as I was walking around and heard the bells and ghost appeared and I screamed so loud lol

 

[vypek]

When you looked through the hole, did you wait for the voice to stop speaking?

 

[SkylineRKR]

That seems to confirm that she will kill you when you reload your save, regardless of what you do.

Killing seems to be random. One time I dodged her and she killed me 5 seconds later. I think after I stood still.

 

[140.85]

There was no game to sell until someone actually beat it. This teaser has nothing to do with the full game. Again, it was meant to be super obtuse so that it'd actually take a while for someone to crack it.

It's also free.

Not to mention having more atmosphere and immersion in one hallway than most games have over an entire world.

 

[MiamiWesker]

Yeah I hear that too, cool stuff.

Yes I used to see her in the bathroom, but that was the first time I reached the loop. She has never been there again since I have reloaded. Also she only showed up there after she started to run away which starts to happen like an hour into the loop.

 

[MiamiWesker]

When I reloaded my save today, she appeared outside the window when the bells rang.

And then she killed me.

We have one constant, yay! She kills you when you reload.

And it probably means nothing.

 

[cchum]

Did anyone try to look at the puzzles in reverse order from what you completed them in? Backwards text and voices may be the clue and also people are triggering it at the puzzle locations (picture, bathroom, and near the hello message)

 

[vypek]

Watching a stream last night, seems there is a way to always get her to spawn and rush you. So I guess that is another constant

 

[MiamiWesker]

I don't remember the order I completed the puzzles. It was so long ago.

 

[SkylineRKR]

Yes.

She killed me just after I started the demo today.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

Any significance of the picture that says "my voice can you hear it?, this sign can you read it? I'll wait for you if you just come to me?"

 

[glottis8]

Yes.

She killed me just after I started the demo today.

Doesn't this take you farther into the demo tho? when you reload you have that table with the bag that talks to you on the right before you actually go into the hallway.

 

[ActuallyHulk]

No you don't. Every single time you go through a loop and the bell rings the ghost is somewhere in the room until she possess you. You hear her you just probably missed her.

Alright I just did it again three times. The first time she lunged at me near the clock and the second she was in the bathroom. The third she was again by the clock. Now the first and third times I triggered the giggle and stood by the radio, the second time I stood by the phone.

 

[SkylineRKR]

Any significance of the picture that says "my voice can you hear it?, this sign can you read it? I'll wait for you if you just come to me?"

After midnight you can hear her.

The sign... I dunno

She's always standing somewhere and you have to go towards her to engage her. She won't chase you.

 

[The Right Deal]

Has anyone had the phone ring fairly soon after resetting the loop? If the above poster really did turn his TV back on after an hour to hear the phone ringing, then that seems to imply it is either completely random or is a mix of something done earlier in the game +time spent in the loop, there is no direct trigger to get the phone to ring.
