• “Murder Mill” shirt cosmetic for all Original Survivors
• “Murder Mill” badge and banner

So the deluxe edition includes checkpoints? Bit annoying to lock that behind a paywall.

Anyone else read "The casting of Frank Stallone"?

That was a bad trailer, but these games are always fun

Apparently they unlock normally after you beat the game but with a preorder or whatever you get it day one. Pretty meh preorder bonus.

Finished it 2 times. Looks like a higher budget game than the Dark Picture games. Behaviour money doing work. Not much happening in the prologue, but gonna be a fun time

He who is without QTE can cast the first Frank Stone or something

PSA: game launched with massive performance bug

If you enable Film Grain or Motion Blur under Visual Settings, it makes the game drop to 20-30fps with the worst screen tearing you’ve ever seen.

To fix, turn off both settings, quit the game fully to the PS5 /XSX dashboard, then re-launch game and it should go back to 60fps with no screen tearing.

Crazy they didn’t catch this bug in QA.

Horrible ass game.

How does Supermassive basically regress every damn time?

There is so little gameplay or choices even that it is laughable. It's boring as shit story wise until the last 15 minutes. Seriously nothing happens for almost the entire game until the very end.

Time to take the training wheels off, and relase somethinf with actual gameplay.

Supermassive kind of looking like a one hit wonder it seems.

Haven't played it to comment, but I really wonder what is going on with storytelling in the last decade. Every show meanders and drags out for 8 to 10 hour long episodes, making little to no progress until you get thrown into a cliff hanger at season's end, or you get thrown several new plot threads to keep stringing viewers along. It seems like they start with a good premise, have strong first episode or two, and then nothing but filler happens until end of the penultimate episode. After playing more of The Dark Pictures Anthology games, and even The Quarry, it seems like they take the same approach. Seems worse though because they clearly don't have a large budget to be able to do these, and they keep being churned out.

Maybe the talent left and started another studio?
