Horror enthusiasts craving an experience reminiscent of PT now have a compelling new option with Luto, available across PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X platforms. While PT existed merely as a teaser for the canceled Silent Hills project, its influence on the horror genre remains profound. In its absence, numerous developers have created PT-inspired experiences, with Luto emerging as one of the most notable recent entries.

For the uninitiated, PT was a revolutionary first-person horror experiment by Hideo Kojima (Metal Gear Solid, Death Stranding). Players navigated an endlessly looping corridor filled with disturbing sounds and supernatural phenomena. Though removed from the PlayStation Store years ago, its legacy continues through games like Luto.

However, Luto is far from a simple clone. While it clearly draws inspiration from PT, the game establishes its own identity through masterful psychological horror elements, an engrossing story, and creative puzzle design. Without spoiling the experience, players find themselves trapped in a house filled with increasingly bizarre occurrences as they attempt to escape. Critics have praised these elements, contributing to Luto's impressive 84/100 average review score - making it one of 2025's highest-rated horror releases.

Luto's concise runtime makes it particularly appealing. The game can be completed in under 5 hours, offering a satisfying weekend horror experience without demanding excessive time. Priced at $19.99, it's also reasonably affordable, with current discounts available: Steam users can purchase it for $17.99 until August 4, while PS Plus subscribers have until July 28 for the same discounted price. Unfortunately, Xbox players currently lack discount options.
