The teaser showcased a close-up of all the actors, who seemed very disturbed. However, we soon notice a reflection in Lillis’ pupil, showing that someone is approaching the 21-year-old. She begins frantically screaming, which would send shivers down anyone’s spine. A message appears on the screen soon, saying, “For all players and screamers.”

We can expect a chilling psychological horror experience from Kojima based on the teaser. There is still not much available about this upcoming horror title, even the release date. However, Kojima stated that this project was a challenge for him and that it would be groundbreaking.
