Neither is harder. They score identically on all four axes, so the difference between them is in kind, not degree.

Axis by axis
Execution1 vs 1
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Kona
Walking, driving, and light survival upkeep
P.T.
Walking a looping hallway - no dexterity test
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Kona
No opposition to outwit
P.T.
Lisa's hauntings trigger on hidden scripts, not adaptation
Variance3 vs 3
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Kona
Mystery clues unknown until uncovered
P.T.
Obscure trigger conditions are hidden information to map
Optimization6 vs 6
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Kona
Investigation order and survival management are solvable
