I feel like there's an 80% chance this was already done, but just in case it wasn't- did anyone try answering the phone call at the same time in reality that the clock says in the game?
Dumb luck. Then just grinding to repeat the results.
dumb luck, PT was arguably never even solved fully.
PT just had too many ways to solve it vs this one having a single convoluted way
Ended abruptly.
Decent demo that was front-heavy.
No systems.
Why is this Resident Evil? I like the idea as a reboot or it being PART of a reboot or new side BUT this felt like a slasher film and not RE. I liked IT though.
Carry this into Haunting Ground II maybe? That's a classic.

Anyone notice that the trigger point with the Family man at the back door is only once you actually open the door is when he gets you and not simply using the key? Maybe you have to use the key to unlock the door but don't actually go through it and instead do something else...?
i think this was mentioned before but this wall seems like its something.. this is the telephone room.
notice the axe marke stop dead on the seem and you can not mark that part of the wall like the other interactable objects
link incase the pic wont load

Crouch next to the Microwave in the VHS tape.
You have to pause the second the tape begins.
Yeah, I was just seeing if completing it once had any effect vs. a new save. Maybe I am pausing too late.
Also Helicopter -> Chopper -> Chop with axe
There is also what looks like a faint skull on the helicopter photo when turned at a certain angle.

At this point I just wish whether someone at Capcom could just confirm to us whether there's more or not. The signs point to yes.. but with so many people working on this and no progress being made, I'm beginning to think that's it.

I tried chopping up those carcasses with the axe when I first got it. Nothing 
A new RE game is coming out soon so maybe there will be a link?
the trailer probably has plenty of footage from the game proper. It's not all from the demo. I think the beginning of the trailer was actually either an early build or not even ingame footage, given that the phone was on the second floor and our friendly family man walked by the kitchen. Either we're missing a MASSIVE amount of content or we're taking the trailer too literally.
There is an obvious door in the attic though you can obviously see the seems in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqdjUAVTq9s. Combined with what was said by capcom on the german resident evil facebook page (there is something in the attic), there is probably a way to get it to open.

My only issue is ill never know the smooth invigorating joy of a cup of coffee blended with beans ground by a magic bullet
GO TO SLEEP DAMN YOU
I feel like there is nothing left to see. The demo is the prologue to the kitchen, which is what happens when you get "welcomed to the family son'd". I think your only ending is to get punched out, you can't leave the house.
The phone calls might just be refering to the fact somethings can change in the future via the tape.

There's absolutely no point for the phone call room/second+third floors if this is the case.
also
The kitchen is what you're playing, anyone who knew about re7 a long time ago can confirm this. This is what was built on top of the original concept from what I know.

All in all this demo is a bit shit.
I don't want to accuse Capcom of jumping on the P.T. bandwagon, but it doesn't half feel that way.

The boredom of waiting for this demos solution if it exists, is having me seek entertainment in other forms lol.

https://youtu.be/GwofRzkROo4?t=1h7m31s <-- switch to 0.25 playback speed to see it
Upper right part of the video, someone is holding a gun and a zombie or the family guy is walking toward him, looks better in motion but they keep switching views, so we don't get a clear shot of it, it's only really noticeable while viewed at 0.25 speed:

I give up for now, i have swinged my axe everywhere.
We need some beatiful mind shit now to figure out how to use that axe and finger.
Since that axe can only be accesed once you learn that you influence the present through the video tape, there is something missing to make the puzzle make sense.

After playing through this demo multiple times, I'm still not sure how I'm feeling if this is the direction that RE7 is going to go in. I have nothing against this style of horror game and those who enjoy them...but after messing around with this demo, I don't like the sense of uneasiness it leaves me with. I guess I just feel old enough now where I don't really want to be scared in that way anymore. I still fucking love playing the previous Resident Evil games though (except 6, which had so many problems...). I love the mix of horror and action that the series has been known for, and the lack of any action and all horror in this new direction is what has me worried.
Resident Evil has ALWAYS had action, from the very first game, even the scarier remake, the games have been about using weapons to fight against enemies. Resident Evil games would make you feel nervous about rounding a corner if you didn't know what was around it, but I didn't feel like I was not equipped to handle it either.
I understand that they want to spark some new interest in the series, but I feel like this is just too hard of a turn. Personally I thought Resident Evil Revelations 2 was one of my favorite RE games in ages, because it had all the elements I loved about the series. Good characters that were both old and new, amusing dialogue, a villain that stood out, but was over the top in the way you expected from the series, and even a good mixture of tension and action. This is what I've expected and wanted out of the series, and that game delivered it. This demo on the other hand doesn't evoke any of the traits that has made me love the series for almost 20 years, except that it fits in within the horror genre. At least at this point in time based on the demo.

Probably already discovered, but I stopped the video right before it ended, headed up to the phone room (staircase brought down before video, got the axe after watching), and found the mannequin already smashed apart.
I haven't heard this, interesting
then again, I'm not the best at following all details, so hm

You get an axe, there are enemies. Unless you know how to use that axe on an enemy (PLEASE) there are probably better threads to complain about what RE is.

Sorry, this just happened to be the only thread on the subject of which I've been engaged with, and after a day of following it and playing the demo, I just felt like venting my thoughts.
