So, anyone else playing this like a horror dating simulator lol. I find myself caring a lot about sabotaging/fixing up relationships, like more than saving their lives and if you one of the people I'm sabotaging ends up dying, then that is life.
Chapter 1&2
Still early on in the game, but I'm really liking it. The game was never on my to buy list, but I got affected by the positive impressions and bought it.

Immediately went for messing up Emily's relationship in the choices

Playing with Global Stats on after playing it a few times is hilarious. I laughed when I saw 22% of players
in the beginning.

Cheers, thanks. Didn't realize this was going to hook me so quick, can't wait for work to end so I can get back to it.

Ugh, I was going into the fall pretty much set on my gaming purchases, only to be lured in by this game (and Madden). It just seems like the perfect Halloween game. Now I can't decide whether to go through with the buy or not. I notice that this is a full-priced release - any thoughts on whether it's worth the full $60?
Totally worth it. I am very very happy with this purchase.
End spoilers.
I killed 4 people with that choice. The way the scenario was presented, I thought I was supposed to go for the switch. And my decision was reinforced when it showed Chris exiting the cabin. I thought all the others had gone with him. But nope, I flip the switch and cook everyone alive.

Is it even important? I never took it, and all went well.
Pretty subjective, but I have no regrets whatsoever. I am having a lot more fun with this than expected. It will definitely be in the top games of the year list for me. I do love horror movies/games though.
For me, it was a three night game. I don't regret buying at all. And I've got several friends/family that I want to see play it. Get the disc version so you can relive the game through their play.

Depends on you really. Did you buy Heavy Rain at launch and thought it was worth it? Personally for me its a yes and I only play these games once.
If you give it to Emily she won't get bitten by the wendigo. If you give it to Matt he won;t die when you try to save Emily twice while the fire tower is collapsing.

I watched a friend stream the beginning last night to see of it was as good as I thought it looked but didn't watch too much. Definitely a game I'll be getting when I get a PS4. Looks stellar.

Hmm... I gave the flare gun to Matt and tried to save Emily twice. He still died via that hook thingy.

I gave the gun to Matt and he immediately shot it off. I tried to save Emily twice and he still got killed.
You also need to
disagree when Emily says you should head to the fire tower. If you do you will get the option to either have Matt shoot it off right away or keep it.
I just finished the game. I liked it but felt really cheated by almost all of the character deaths:
I just had weird controller issues throughout the game...."Don't Move" was completely busted unless I switched to motion controls, and occasionally it seemed like choices were being instantly auto-selected without giving me any options. It's a shame that minor hitches/glitches resulted in the death of nearly half the characters.
Matt -- I gave him the flare gun as the totem had suggested. He immediately fired it off into the air without any prompting from me the player. He falls down into the mine and is immediately killed by an unseen baddie who hangs him on a hook -- Butterfly Effect blames this on him not having a flare gun with which to defend himself.
Ashely -- I looked under the sealed hatch in the basement. I just thought this one was too cheap and stupid, though it's more my fault than any of the other deaths
Mike and Sam -- During the final sequence in the lodge, the "Don't Move" bar completely recalibrates and changes when the camera cuts to a different angle. This causes an instant fail. Failing with Sam seems to automatically mean that Mike dies since the game never gives you any more options after than. Prior to this I had never once failed a "Don't Move" sequence.

Went back and re-played the last two chapters and...
saved Wolfie (hell yes) and Mike. I still got screwed trying to save Sam with the motion controls. Damn! I was prepared for it too and it still got me. I had my hands steady on a table, but the game actually moves the sensor a bit and I didn't adjust in time to save her. Next time, Sam. Next time.
Yeah, I think it's cheap to make someone's death hinge on that because they really give you no reason to disagree with her. Present me with some reason why I should object to
climbing the tower

Awesome. I'll do that on my next playthrough.
He's the only person I wasn't sure how to save since he died so early for me.
God damn it, so I got penalised for taking the safe routes all the time?
Ah well, I didn't like her all that much anyway.

He was my fav character and I tried to make the best possible choices with him. He didn't deserve that.

Hey internet pals. I want this but can't afford it with MGS and Mario Maker on the horizon but it looks awesome so I'm considering renting it. How long would a quick playthrough take? Is it a game that can be enjoyed as a rental?

The ending was really intense.
As Sam I chose to hide 3 TIMES instead of run and that damn Hannah Wendigo was like an inch from my face and it says "don't move" on the screen. I was like a statue man. Didn't even want to breathe. Then I chose to "save mike" by drawing one of the wendigo's attention after that when it was going towards him. That's when Sam then makes a run for the switch, Mike takes the opportunity to exit and they both make it out.

Awesome! Any idea of the average playtime? I'm sure it's been mentioned in this thread quite a few times but I can't seem to find it.
Yep, if
I had chosen to "save Mike" I would have saved 6 out of the 8. Just a brutal punishment for choosing the switch.

I finished in about 3, 3 hour sessions. So 9-10 hours probably.

Yeah, in the options menu. It makes your second or (in my case, fourth) playthrough more entertaining. I definitely don't recommend it for your first run. It put stats on literally everything you have a decision over. It surprises me how many times you are allowed to 'do nothing'. Can't wait to see what numbers it gives me in the late game.

It is, but
put yourself in their shoes instead of the omnipotent player that you are. They had no clue where the killer was and had nothing to defend themselves with except an axe.
It's not, but
you had already set Matt down the stupid path by that point.
Around 10-12 hours I'd say.
I'd recommend breaking the game up into three play sessions, and use the companion app. Mild spoilers, number of chapters:
Play Chapters 1-4, 5-8, 9-10 and then watch bonus features. Breaks down to three 4 hour chunks.
Nah, my PS+ storage has been full for awhile. My own fault on that one, reinstalled the game last night. Going to try playing here soon, will update.
If its still broken after the reinstall I was planning on recording it for Supermassive to look at, ill post it here too.Only thing that matters
Can you make a video of this? Sounds interesting/funny.
