The fan-favourite game demo was released under the developer pseudonym ‘7780s Studio’, and required the community of players to work together in order to solve its puzzles, and reveal its true purpose as a teaser for Silent Hills by Kojima.

Ultimately, the Silent Hills project was cancelled by Konami following Kojima’s departure from the company the following year.

on Twitter on Friday, former Konami brand manager Pearl Lai responded by claiming she had both been responsible for setting up the surprise release of the game on the PlayStation Store, and also putting in the call to have it removed.

However, Lai made clear in her replies that it was “a tough situation” for those working within Konami, and saved special praise for the teams at Sony and Konami’s customer support staff.
