the actors mannerisms in his other roles, you can hear his voice in both the voice message on the answering machine and in the way the Psychopath infelcts.

I'm only at Chapter 8, but yeah, I think so. Hasn't been a particularly great year for game narratives, though.

Question about Matt:
Last I saw him he jumped clear of the falling tower. Now Im on Ch 9 and even Emily is back. What the frick happened to Matt?
I have a particular fondness for Life is Strange although the script is a bit more cringeworthy. I tend to like that setting more than horror cliches.
Keep playing, you'll find out.
No, life is strange is definitely better. This is really good though!
That wasn't how I guessed it, but that's crazy too. I only just got to the reveal, so I didn't realize that was him on the machine as well. I had a feeling that was what was going on pretty early based on a couple lines that felt like they were telegraphing it. He ended up dying by saw for me, so that threw my theory off a bit, but I still suspected it when Em said "maybe we should've checked to be sure".
It was only one of two or three theories of mine, but I'm actually pretty proud that I finally guessed a games twist from early on.

On a non spoiler note, DAMN this game is so good.
Question about something.
So ultimately it made no difference.. Or did it?
I avoided the trap box in Mike's first big adventure, because it just looked really suspicious and I remembered a clue about chopped off fingers. So I just avoided it. I went on youtube and looked up someone else's play, and he didn't avoid it, and he managed to pry it off himself, but lost his machete in the process. I figured oh, that means he can't save Hayden Peniteiere from the ropes on her chair, but all that was different turns out to be he freed her with a lighter instead.

It will.
That not where it's used.
They drop hints: Josh's message to the others basically is "I've got shit planned for all of you." Sam calls Josh a schemer after the basement incident. The whole "My dad knows how to fake shit" as horror movie producer.
Makes a second playthrough enjoyable.
Choosing to chop off your fingers means that you get to keep the machete, that's what I did
I mean you could have not:
triggered the trap and kept the machete AND your fingers. Just saying.
It wasn't THAT obvious!

LOL, if you're like that now just you wait till the game actually picks up. The jump scares haven't really done much for me, but there's one in particular later on that nearly gave me a damn heart attack!
There's a totem for it.
RIP in pieces?
What's the saying? "Like a moth to a flame" or "Curiosity kills the cat"?
All the Em hate makes me sad. She's a

the arm for a split second. I thought it was something else.
Oh wow
I'm surprised I missed those too. I caught the message being kind of ominous and assumed the movie stuff would come into play though.
I just remembered though, what really tipped me off was the fact that you never got to control Josh. That was the huge giveaway right there.

Quick question to anyone who's finished; how many chapters?
Worthless totem. It doesn't even show anything that would warn you of what it is. It just shows you the end result.

I also realized
at the very beginning he says "Hello friends...and fans". Wasn't he recording everything for the internet. Dat foreshadowing.
Watch it more than once? Replayed it like a few times, and then again when I got to the scene and was like "Yup this is it. . ." I mean. DSP figured it out. . .o_0
once I realized how the close-up worked, I kept doing it with every character. if you keep watching long enough, they start having some weird looking tourettes. it's hilarious!
Why would I watch it more than once? That kinda ruins the game IMO. Honestly I wish there was a way of getting the totems added to your collection without actually watching them.

Close your eyes for 2 seconds?
I think I remember using the machete on one of those mutants on the way out, was that an important thing? did that save my life?

Yep. I'm at work and will finish it off tonight, but I can't stop thinking about it. That's definitely a sign of a great game.
Yes it did, because otherwise I believe you would have died. I think you missed the rolling the barrel button prompt with Mike?
I do not think so. You still had the weapon.

I just had what happened to you with
Matt
I'm on chapter seven now and I at least think everyone else is alive, hopefully ... I freaking love this game though!! I can't wait to start my second playthrough and I'm not even finished yet
Whoa, good call. I'm gonna put some tape over the light when I start my playthrough.
He kept thinking I was lying to him or something, even though I tried to answer honestly. I think I'm just more complex psychologically than the game allows for.
I just had what happened to you withhappen to me. No clue why he did it, and I'm super pissed he died cause of it, haha.Matt

He needs to:
Jump to safety instead of saving Emily. Which - given the choice - isn't hard.
Just cosmetic changes.
Two things could have saved him. 1. Disagreeing to go with Emily to the tower, giving him the flare, and then choosing to keep it instead of shooting it. 2. Jumping off instead of trying to save Emily twice.
Em
Would jumping off have caused Emily to die
And I agree, Emily is awesome, I just love her, she's so bossy and stuck up. Like I said before, they try to make you hate her, but I can't!
My only death in the game up to Chapter 9 at this point, arrrggghhhhh
Same, this is my only death -- I THINK.
I'm still a little unclear whether Jessica is alive. They seem to have hinted that she is in the part I'm at now --- and when Mike first found her, she was alive before she fell with the elevator.

Seriously death totem 4. Anyone know how to trigger this? I can't figure it out.
You would know the answer to this during that sequence.
She dies if you fuck up reaching her.

Damnn, I was trying to be a good person and save
Emily
The one where
Chris is killed by a wendigo in the caves that lead to the mine? I believe you have to leave Chris behind and then go get Ashley killed by the wendigo mimicking Jess.
Gotta work on them reflexes.
There are a few "Good Guy Jeff Gone Wrong" moments in the game.
It can happen to both of them.
