You bet it is! That's noted in the article.
Do you prefer this style or the 2009 video game's aesthetic?
Oh, absolutely. Many supernatural indie horror games that released in the past 7 years wouldn't exist without P.T.
I even question if you'd have games like Phasmophobia, as P.T. kind of let devs know that the broader gaming community was receptive to slow-paced, atmospheric horror and enjoyed sharing that experience (for P.T., it was over YouTube/Twitch).
I wonder how alone I am in putting the REmake above Resident Evil 4.
... who skipped over Alone in the Dark?
Not yet!
