What is this?
A native PC port of P.T., the 2014 PS4 teaser by Kojima Productions. It is not an emulator: the game logic was rebuilt in C++ and the renderer is written in Vulkan, while every asset (levels, models, textures, sounds, scripts, cutscenes) is read at runtime from your own copy of the PS4 game.

A portable zip is also available if you'd rather place the game files yourself.

A portable zip is also available if you'd rather place the game files yourself.What do I actually need to play it?Your own copy of P.T. (built and tested with the US release CUSA01127, as a dump folder or fake PKG), Windows 10/11 x64 or Linux x86-64 with glibc 2.38+, and a GPU/driver supporting Vulkan 1.3. A microphone is used for one voice-recognition segment, but you can bind a key instead if you have none.

Only the US release (CUSA01127) has been personally verified by the author, though the EU and JP releases install with a caveat.

You install it from desktop mode and add the binary as a non-Steam game.

Ray-traced shadows, AO and reflections additionally need a GPU with Vulkan ray queries.

A mods folder next to the executable can replace game files, textures and sounds, and run Lua scripts that react to game events, documented in docs/modding.md and docs/luaapi.md.
