Baby (P.T.)
Overview
Full Name:	Baby
Locations:	Bathroom sink
Behind The Scenes
Debut:	P.T.

In Silent Hills: Playable Teaser, the player character encounters manifestation of a fetus in a sink.

Appearance

It is a small red creature that appears in the bathroom sink in the never-ending hallway. The baby itself seems to be a bloody, very young human fetus writhing in agony and suffering. Its heart appears to be outside of its chest, similar to ectopia cordis. It lacks ears and a nose; its eyes are barely visible and never open (although the eyelids slightly flutter); and its limbs are short stubs, emphasizing its weakness and futility, unable to crawl out of the sink.

Character

Its only behavior is to wriggle around in a bathroom sink and cry. At some point in gameplay, a crying or giggle emits out in the hallway; it's not beyond reason that this is emanating from the Baby. The player can also trigger an event that makes the Baby a vessel for actual speech.

Quotes

• "You got fired, so you drown your sorrows in booze. She had to get a part-time job working a grocery store cash register. Only reason she could earn a wage at all, is the manager liked the way she looked in a skirt. You remember, right? Exactly 10 months back."
• "Dad was such a drag. Every day he'd eat the same kind of food, dress the same, sit in front of the same kind of game. Yeah, he was just that kind of guy, but then one day he goes and kills us all! He couldn't even be original about the way he did it. I'm not complaining, I was dying of boredom, anyway. But guess what? I will be coming back, and I'm bringing my new toys with me."

Trivia

David Lynch's ERASERHEAD (1977) - Baby

• The baby's appearance seems to very strongly reference David Lynch's Eraserhead, an inspiration of the series, which featured a similarly pitiful infant and industrial nightmare world.
• The radio, in one occasion, may broadcast a rather ominous message: "You can't trust the tap water." Sinks are often called tap, so it could be possible that the radio is warning the player not to trust what it in the sink speaks later on.
• It is heavily implied that the speech at the end of the teaser is told by the baby, as it mentions a "Dad" who "kills us all".
