Kojima OD Teaser Trailer Reveals Scariest Mad Libs Ever

by

The trailer for *OD* starts with a relentless, unsettling knock at a door. A strange card is then pushed through the door’s opening. On-screen text reveals it’s been ten years since a terrifying, unnamed horror occurred, simply labeled as “REDACTED.” The trailer suggests a cursed entity has returned to a forbidden place. We then see the creepy card again, featuring a disturbing, stylized face. If you look closely, the face resembles an anatomical heart filled with eyes – a truly unsettling image!

A trembling hand reveals a card with a message: “Start the fires to honor their past.” This seems to be the first hint about how the game, *OD*, will be played. You’ve been given a task, and you need to complete it – or face the consequences. An unsettling soundtrack begins. Further text explains that the building in the game was created from a scan of a real-world location, and that disturbing events took place there. It seems we’re now caught up in those same frightening events!

A hand opens a new door, revealing a dark room with an altar covered in candles. A storm rages outside, creating a chilling atmosphere. As someone tries to light the candles, an unsettling detail emerges: they look like baby dolls that appear to bleed and cry when lit. To make things worse, the attempts are repeatedly interrupted by frightening knocks and strange sounds from beyond the door.

The door creaks open, and it’s immediately clear this is something terrifying. Heavy footsteps and unsettling whispers echo around us. We finally get a good look at the lead character from the new series *OD*, played by Sophia Lillis, known from *IT*. As she shakes with fear, strange markings begin to appear on her face, and she’s suddenly grabbed by unseen hands. Seriously, you might want to watch the *OD* trailer with all the lights on!

Hideo Kojima discussed the trailer for Jordan Peele’s *OD*, explaining that Peele’s approach to fear is unique. Kojima’s own focus is on sudden, impactful sounds – ‘the knock’ – which he personally finds terrifying. He believes the trailer demonstrates the level of fear players can expect in *OD*, even joking that it might be frightening enough to make you jump!

The upcoming game, OD, is being built with Unreal Engine and is already visually impressive. Developers have stated that progress is going well, and Hideo Kojima is pushing boundaries with the gameplay, story, and how players interact with the game. They’re working closely together and are enthusiastic about what’s to come. Kojima also shared that he scanned genuinely spooky places to inspire the game’s atmosphere, and even joked about wanting to be the first to scan a ghost and win an award for it. Sounds ambitious – and why not?

The new trailer for *OD* doesn’t reveal much about the game’s story, but it’s genuinely terrifying. If you’re curious about what might be in store, you can check out Hideo Kojima’s *P.T.* demo for *Silent Hill*. Many believe *OD* is a spiritual successor to the canceled *Silent Hill* game. See the trailer below.

The game features Udo Kier, known from *Hunters*, and Hunter Schafer from *Euphoria*, though they don’t appear in this first trailer. We expect to see more of the cast and learn more about the story later-though Hideo Kojima’s games are famously complex and often leave players with unanswered questions, even after finishing them.
