A few days ago we posted the teaser trailer for Hideo Kojima and Jordan Peele‘s new horror game project OD – you can check the story here – but now it seems there’s more to it than meets the eye…
Eagle-eyed Silent Hill fans have spotted an unlikely Easter egg, essentially pointing back to Kojima’s attempt to make a new Silent Hill game while at Konami – and it’s gotten some imaginations running wild.
This all kicked off when a member of the Silent Hill subreddit found hidden text in the OD teaser, spotting the letters A-T-A-M-I — each letter in just a single frame — in the most unlikely place.
The mouth of actor Udo Kier contained the letters, whilst he’s reading out the phonetic pangram that’s repeated in different lilts and tones throughout the video.
Redditor GlazicBlr made the post, and noted that Atami is a city in the Shizuoka prefecture of Japan. The kanji that makes up Shizuoka (静岡), taken separately, translate to “silent” (静) and “hill” (岡).
You can watch the teaser trailer again below, and this time look out for it:
Maybe it means sweet FA. Or maybe it means there’s a link to OD from what Kojima had planned for Silent Hill (which apparently was to make us shit our pants, so fun).
Penny for your thoughts? Did this make you want to rewatch the trailer, and what do YOU think it could mean?
