Wow the Japanese version of this is lame as hell.
Censored to all hell with black screens that are literally as long as the cutscene. Emily sounds super tough woman in charge instead of a complete whiney bitch... what's the point then.

Definitely among my favorite parts of the game as well. I actually mentioned it here a while back. I'm still only in the third chapter, but I hope we'll have the sessions till the end.
Talking to one of my co-workers and hes interested in buying the game, checked the inventory at Gamestop for pickup in store, out of the 22 stores in a 25 mile radius only 3 have the game. I know someone posted they had only had a few sent to the stores, but hopefully that bodes well for the sales for Supermassive.

i went to gamestop on tuesday morning at like 11 am asking for the game. Lady told me they were sold out, then i said i had it preordered and she said nevermind. I just dont think theyve sent alot to the stores.
Wow... what a freaking great game. I am really really enjoying it.
Easy.. one of my fav games this year. This game is better than any telltale, the don't nod and quantic dream... i thought HEavy Rain was pretty good... btu this game just takes it a step farther than all of them.
Anyways. can't wait to see what happens later.
Got Joshed killed in a decision between Josh and Ashley.... he got split in half by a saw. O_O i didn't see that coming. But i should not have gone into that shack. I kinda knew it too. The bit with Michael chasing after Jess was cool. I dunno what happened to her.. she fell through in the mines, i have not seen her since. Then i went with Michael to the sanatorium.. one of hte longest bits yet. Kicked the wolf, only to make up byu giving it a bone... phew... and with Sam i got away from the guy with the mask by hiding in the elevator. phew... this game is INTENSE! i am loving it!!!
I don't know who else is gone. I think just 2 deaths... if i count Jess as dead. Michael is surrounded by fire... and then Dr Hill got hit by the monster in the mask between chapters!! WTH IS GOING ON!!??

Anyone encountering audio issues? I have a surround sound setup, and are noticing the sound cutting in and out. It just noticeably started at

Does the dialogue in the interviews impact the story/what is faced?
And when do you play the DLC chapter?

I thought the psychiatrist sessions were awesome as a framing device, Stormare was nailing it and his likeness was pretty amazing to watch. My biggest complaint is that they didn't really make me too nervous about walking down long dark hallways, nothing scary ever comes of it like I would have expected.
wendigo, like it was framey enough to look like stop motion from old movies, but they seemed to warp around the room. Their big fight at the end was soooo cool looking.

Saved everyone, first try!
Thanks largely to the totems, though I didn't find all of them.
I missed a lot of the pick ups.
Great game!

So I finished this last night, and I'm super sad it's over. It'll be fun to trophy hunt and see all the different possibilities, but nothing can replicate that experience of going in the first time and having no idea what's going on.
For my second playthrough I was thinking of getting a PS4 camera, but thinking about it now, is that really worth it? If the whole point is to record you getting jumpscared, and I know about most of them now, doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose?
Unless of course it's possible to miss some scares based on choices?

Wow... kudos to you... i did my best so far... one big causalty already... btu it took a while before it happened.
This game is amazing really. I am so surprised and happy that this game turned out the way it did. Can't wait to see what Supermassive does next.

Indeed.

Tip for those who are effected by Jump scares. Focus on the movement icon in the bottom center of the screen. This game is brutal trying to make you flinch in the ending scene.

I was using motion control schemes and even if I was still, I would sometimes fail. Good to know that it's passable though. Maybe I should recalibrate my controller.
I had the same issue, and the sound started cutting out and popping constantly in the same section. Luckily, it went away in subsequent sections, but nobody else seems to be reporting this issue and my tweets to the dev about it have been ignored. The sound in this game is all kinds of messed up, and I keep hoping that a patch will pop up to fix it.
Unbelievable that people have been able to save everyone on the first try.
I'm somewhere in chapter 6, and I've lost 3.

-- and whatever is happening with the Silent Hill: Shattered Memories esque psychiatrist scenes. I hope there is some more downtime before the game is over, because shit kicked into gear really fast -- even just more of everyone in the same room, since the beginning
Hope these last 4 chapters deliver!
I'm somewhere in chapter 6, and I've lost 3.
Jess died, took my time "safely" getting down to her, to worried my characters are going to break their necks every damn time...
Then I picked to let Josh die, between him and Ash... Unsure how to obviously avoid this one, it seemed quite scripted.
Just lost Matt before turning off the game... I was so worried about having Matt fall to his death due to that totem, so I avoided every jumping opportunity in the cave and picked "Save Emily" every time while the radio tower fell, then he got hung on a fucking meat hook. God damn, that was a fucking gruesome death, the way his mouth filled up with blood, eugh, I think some of his teeth got knocked out by the hook, too -- fuck me that was grim. Hope Em's okay, she's crazy bitchy, but I'm hoping she can stay alive long enough to show a degree of competence and redemption to her clearly unlikable character arc... Plus she has the flare gun, I feel like I'm going to save the flare gun forever...

Mike and Jess were off immediately, and Sam has been going to have a bath for like 4 chapters.
Hope these last 4 chapters deliver!

Can you make a video of this? Sounds interesting/funny.

I'm so torn because I want to save everyone....but this is a horror movie. Realistically, only 1 or 2 people should survive!

100% agreed. Getting too old for repetitive shooting at this point.

Wow OK Chapter 4 did not go the way I was hoping.
I am likely 80-85% through the game and it is definitely a standout gaming experience of the year for me. Highly recommended if you are the least bit into the genre (campy horror). Mechanically it is doing some really interesting things and from my experience sets a higher bar for choices actually having consequences in games. I really hope this does well so Supermassive can make more experiences like Until Dawn.
I can picture a more serious all-out horror game with this butterfly-effect branching storyline being terrifying.

Finished the game last night. That ending was super intense.
Death spoilers ahead
I managed to save Mike, Sam, Matt, Emily, and Chris.
Death spoilers ahead
I got Ashley killed because I decided to investigate the noise and break of from the group like a MORON. I opened that hatch and got my head cut off. I got Jessica killed when I decided to have her and Matt run from a Wendigo and it caught her since she was in bad condition. Bad decision. ALWAYS hide from the Wendigos when given the option. You don't run on a wendigo.
Just a question regarding the DLC, this is still way early game but I'll spoil just in case.
I know the DLC is Matt and Em going back to get her bag. They mentioned that was about to happen and also mentioned that Mike and Jess were going to head to the guest house. I got control of Mike after that scene for the whole guest house trek, is that the correct order or was my DLC not installed right?

Oh that makes perfect sense if that is what the motion control option does. I am going to try it out because its a bit clunky using the stick for me.

Glad it's not just me. I was freaked out something was happening to my speakers and it took me completely out of the moment.

Keep playing the game. Trust me.
And to me it seems quicker to move the controller to pick choices. Really well done and nit an afterthought.

Getting the game tomorrow along with the extra DLC chapter...so I am wondering when is the best point to play the extra chapter? Pre or post game?
It's inserted into the game. It's basically a chunk of a mission they cut out so don't worry about it

Correct order. It happens later.
