Just to be sure, i am going to say this,this is a theory,a speculation,a lie, a mis-truth,something that exists thanks to the ramblings of a madman.
Also i want to thank everyone at the External Gazer discord,who were the friends that gave me all i needed for this theory,as it is an "expansion" of one of the theories Gazer himself made in a video.
Now lets proceed.
This theory tells how PT is a "pre-sequel" ,both a prequel and a sequel, of Death Stranding.
This will involve explaining both,first how it is a prequel,if only one takes in account the "horror themes" of PT ,then,how it is a sequel,taking in account the "virtual reliaty themes" of PT,as both are needed to truly "see the whole forest" of the theory instead of only 2 trees,separated by each other.
Let´s begin.
Part 1:PT is the personal beach/hell of Cliff´s wife,Lisa (and maybe Sam Porter Bridges´s too)
PT is a horror game thanks to not only the mysterious way it presents itself,the themes about parenthood going wrong,the sound and the ambient, but also thanks to the main "antagonist" in it,Lisa.
Lisa presents itself as a woman with black hair and that does not have her right eye,that follows us and attacks us in PT.
Death Stranding show us Sam Porter Bridges´s past in visions of the past,where we are shown Sam´s real biological mother,also called Lisa, andhow she was killed by his father Cliff.
Lisa is an state of vegetative coma,she is unable to communicate with anyone,and Bridges as an organisation holds her and her recently born son Sam as possible test subjects.
Cliff,is given a gun by Die Hardman,that is to used to put Lisa out of her misery.
Cliff gets a pillow,puts it in Lisa´s face,then puts the gun on the pillow,then proceeds to pull the trigger.
Is it possible that this Lisa is the same LIsa as the one in PT?
Cliff shoots her almost on the right side of her face,on the level were her eyes should have been,this possibly could have made the bullet gouge her eye out,creating the monster we are all so afraid of in PT.
Now the question is,what is PT exactly?
We know at least this game was a form of punishment,a "hell",something created to punish the main charcterp´s sins.
The connection between Death Stranding and PT could be possible thanks to one element of the Death Stranding lore.
Beaches.
Beaches in Death Stranding are akin tohell,heaven, a place where the soul goes after the person´s death.These beaches are formed in a way due to the person´s experiences.
This theory maintains that that is what PT´s corridors are,a beach that belongs to Lisa,a hell that was created due to her own perception of her death,as we have seen the narrative in PT where a husband kills,executes his own wife.
We know that the main character of PT is Norman Reedus,and if PT really is connected to Death Stranding,this will be ignored for now,as this will be explained for now,but will be taken on account on the second part of the theory.
The person who experienced PT as a living hell he had to go trough,was Cliff,Sam´s father,who after killed her own wife, ended up killing himself and his baby son Sam.
This was possible thanks to the "divine" hand of Amelie,who we all know, is the Eextinction Entity,this gives her the capacity to reign over all the beaches,as all beaches reside inside her own beach.
Amelie sent Cliff to rescue Sam´s Ka ,his soul,represented by the fetus monster that resided in the sink,and by the baby laughs that the player had to "trigger" to end the infinite circlish hell PT is.
How did Sam´s Ka ended up in Lisa´s beach?If it is Lisa´s beach,this could happen since Sam was actually never "born" hence he went to Lisa´s beach since he never was "himself",only a "part of" Lisa.This is how he ends on his mother´s beach.
Amelie sends Cliff to save Sam,and is able to communicate with him trough one of PT´s portraits,in this case, the portrait is one with a woman with a necklace next to the clock,as it says:"My voice can you hear it?,this sign can you read it?I´ll wait forever if you´ll just come to me".This is Amelie in her beach trying to communicate with Cliff so he can bring Sam´s Ka back to her so she is able to revive Sam.
Another hint as to how Cliff was the one that went rough PT is that in one scene in Death Stranding shows Cliff naked,covered in mud,but the part of his body where his reproductive organs should be,there is nothing.
Why is this?Well, when you start PT,you get killed by Lisa at least once,in this case,when Lisa catches you,you can hear a zipper being opened,then a sound of something fleshy being cut off or removed.
This fleshy thing that was removed,was Cliff´s reproductive organs.
Where did his reproductive organs end up?
Well...when the game "restarts" one thing changes in the beginning room,on the corner,you find the infamous philosophical prophet Mr. Bloodied paper bag, also known as Cliff´s dick and balls.
Philosophical prophet Mr.Bloodied paper bag also gives us hints to Death Stranding but this will be explained later.
To summarise:Cliff went to PT´s corridor to recue Sam´s Ka thanks to Amelie´s intervention,so he could bring it to Amelie so she could revive him,as shown in the ending of Death Stranding.
It is also worth noting this, the PT “poem solution” which was various parts of what i would call a poem,that traducted would be something like this:
“I whispered your name, but the wind of the night took your voice away.
I didn't move anymore during the waiting, then his finger slipped on my hand.
It was a cold hand, body was trembling.
Never moving a step, his hand in mine, I waited for it to pass.
And through the mist of fading consciousness I believed, I heard a phone.”
Tough not exact,this poem has kinda a parallel with the DS scene where Amelie first repatriates BB Sam after he was shot in his stomach and killed,as the whole “the wind of the night took your voice away” and “cold hand” could refer to a dead body,and “waited for it to pass” can be a reference as how Sam´s stomach bullet hole starts repairing until he “revives”.
The “mist of fading conciousness” refers to the scene whe Amelie reptriates him as a BB back to Earth trough the seam,where we can see different planets,stars and other.
Now with all this in mind:Why is Norman Reedus,in other words,Sam Porter Bridges ,the one that is the playable character in PT?
Part 2:PT is a virtual reality videogame Sam Porter Bridges had to go trough 20 years after the Death Stranding ending.
How can we know PT is 20 years after Death Stranding?
This is shown to us when the infamous "J crash" happens:
" Knowing you, I was sure you'd notice this game and play it. I will never – can never – forget that day 20 years ago. I have something to tell you. Contact me. – J."
Who is J?This can be answered thanks to Death Stranding.
J is Die-Hardman himself, whose real name can be found in one of the info chips in-game Die Hardman´s name is .... John McClane.
We know that Die Hardman would be unable or would have it very hard to find Sam after the ending of Death Stranding, since Sam incinerated his BRIDGES cuffs after Deadman deactivated them.
This would make it near to impossible,very time consuming or very difficult to find Sam,who most likely went AWOL to be able to raise BB, Louise,his daughter
Bridges somehow found a way to use the chiral net to recreate beaches or elements inside them trough virtual realities, in this case,PT is a videogame made with this discovery to find Sam espcifically,
since he would be able to recognise his mother as the games monster,Lisa.
Sam would be like:"Why the fuck is this game´s monster my mother?"Then play it to make sure if it was her or not.
It is also worth noting that it could not only be Die Hardman that appears in PT trough these crashes but also Heartman,Fragile,Lockne and Deadman who might have also helped develop the game,as they could be identified trough other messages that were left in these crashes,all with different colors,making it so each color is identifying each one.
These would be red(Deadman who always uses red),black(Fragile whose suit is black) and yellow(Heartman,whose heart defibrillator is yellow,)grey(Lockne,kinda via elimination), and white (Die Hardman,who we already said is J).
We can also use the different frames,photos,pictures in PT to identify places in Death Stranding itself.
One is a little river that is shown in one of the trailers,and the other is the tunnel that Deadman and BB pass trough.I would even reccomend using the photo mode to recreate the PT photos inside the house.
Also the Great prophetic philosopher Mr.Bloodied Paper Bag great and only meessage to us is also a "description" of DS itself:
"I walked. I could do nothing but walk. And then, I saw me walking in front of myself. But it wasn't really me. Watch out. The gap in the door... it's a separate reality. The only me is me. Are you sure the only you is you?"
a)"I walked. I could do nothing but walk":this is a reference to how DS as a game works,DS is famously known as a "walking simulator" by many.
b)"And then, I saw me walking in front of myself.But it wasn't really me":The game various times makes hints that there are other Sam Porter Brdiges in existance,as if they exist in other universes,this is also shown by the Sam´s of other players that throw items to help the player or when he screams and gets answers from other players.
It´s you,Sam, but they are not really you,since they are other players.
c)"Watch out. The gap in the door... it's a separate reality.":This might refer to a way to enter other player´s world,to enter other universes or other realities.Or just to the way Sam is able to enter to the seam and beaches.Also some “portals” or “black holes” have been seen in game throwing stuff to the map.
Now the question is...
For what purpose does Die Hardman need Sam?How did Sam get to experience PT so vividly if it only was a VR videogame?
This is the most speculative part of the theory.
it is possible that the sequel,dlc of the game is what is shown in the Ludens trailer.
We know that at least Ludens exists inside DS, as Sam has a trinket of Ludens attached to BB´s pod.We also know that Die Hardman´s mask is the Ludens mask itself.
It is possible that Ludens himself is Sam Porter Bridges,and that the suit lets him "enhance" his DOOMS ability,in this case,the ability that is enhanced is Sam´s ability to "experience" virtual realities inside his "conciousness".
The virtual realities Sam has experienced inside his concioussnes are the visions of his past when he was a BB, wich are able to be experienced when he connects to the chiral net trough BB.
That is why Sam sometimes even thinks time has been stopped or "enlarged" whenever he had one,it was a VR that happened "inside" him,kinda as how our own dreams seem "enlarged" or "shortened" compared to the time that actually passes when we were sleeping.
The last vision,the one were he is shown how he is killed together with Cliffs is the one that tells us this, as when one of the soldiers passes trough him,Sam himself becomes "blue light",almost as how some holograms in sci-fi are showed.
The reason the light is blue coloured its because the seam itself is where the data is pulled from,since the seam´s color is mentioned to be blue in one of the info chips.
We know at least that Ludens himself is able to "recreate" or "project" virtual realities over the physical world thanks to the trailer,but interestingly enough,the thing he "summons" is a white whale.
One of the few things that are shown to us inside the seam whenever Sam dies and goes to the seam is a white whale that swims by,this white whale maybe being the same white whale that appears on the Ludens trailer,the whale that is being summoned trough the chiral net from the seam,into the real physical world.
One last thing to note,as we get near to Geoff Keighley´s Days of Summer event,at the end of PT,there is one last thing shown.
“This game is a teaser,It has no direct relation to the main title”
PT is a teaser,but it has no direct relation to the main title,Silent Hills,,with this,we could say PT is a teaser made to “tease” PT,but it´s contents are not related to it.if this is so,what was really PT?
A teaser for Silent Hills…or a teaser for Death Stranding?
And now that Death Stranding was released…we get the promised Silent Hills?
Who knows?
I will leave this link to a website that has most of the "content" of PT in images,from photos,words,sentences,images to the radio emissions in case you,the reader,want to remember or find about the things i have talked about: http://www.silenthillmemories.net/silent_hills/pt_script_en.htm
Thanks for your time and i hope you have a beautiful and nice day.
