This Horizon Zero Dawn PS1 demake imagines Aloy's adventure as it might've looked had it launched back in 1996. The 60-second video demake shows the iconic PS1 startup screen followed by Horizon Zero Dawn's title sequence, loading screen, and then a little bit of gameplay. Aloy starts her retro journey at a campfire before making her way to the base of a cliff, climbing up the top, and being downed by a thunderjaw. Befitting of the time, Aloy succumbs to her wounds in a melodramatic death screen with an all-black background and the words "you died" front and center.

This is a shame, as when these small cacti actually sprout up in the online world you can take a bite and embark on a psychedelic trip, which is a real wild ride.
