A modder, named Lance McDonald, has managed to hack the camera in P.T., revealing that the previously obscured protagonist is indeed Norman Reedus.
It was never in much doubt—there were visual clues, like the leather jacket worn by the character matching the one Reedus wears in the closing cinematic—but it is nice to receive confirmation, five years on.
“Just to put any uncertainty finally to rest after all this time, yes, the guy you play as in P.T. is the same guy we see in the ending cinematic,” McDonald tweeted. “Not that there any real doubt, but yeah, it's Norman Reedus the whole time.”

There is something delicious about the way that P.T. has left a lingering mark on the gaming landscape, the way a house is haunted, after all this time. McDonald also recently revealed that Lisa, the ghost who harries you as you play, is actually always behind you.
On top of that, there were also the recent rumblings of Hideo Kojima looking to get back into doing horror again.
