I can't believe Resident Evil finally trumped Silent Hill in puzzle difficulty

On a German Resident Evil Facebook page they keep insisting us to look carefully at the umbrella helicopter picture when people ask them about the axe or finger ...

Regardless of it not being there in the past, its a logo with a very clear symbol and name written in duct tape, which isn't used elsewhere. Honestly it could just be a clue to where you find the lock pick, but it certainly stands out against everything else. No wear or tear or makrs on it like everything else in the kitchen, the logo and company name clear on a bit of duct tape, rather vibrant yellow symbol on it.
Especially being as the company its advertising is also on the splash screen/credits. Remember, P.T did something very similar with "1137" and Trees. Not like i'm saying this is the exact same, but there certainly is precedent.

Hey thanks.
I feel like we're all missing something incredibly obvious.
Assuming that there is more to be found (that is significant, like a new area or ending), I think it stands to reason that in a post PT world, whatever someone tries to do next in the style of PT is going to be more mechanically obtuse and weird. Because, they know we've seen this kind of "thing" before, and they have some idea of how long it took us to deal with PT, which was much faster than Kojima et. al., expected.
I mean it does some weird light stuff and kinda looks like a skull sometimes? But that's all I got.
But it's hard to assume that when you have tons of people playing it and just as many people discussing it. You would think by now someone would have brute forced their way through it. Or you never know. There probably isn't shit else to do with the axe or the finger.

I noticed that too, i've spent so long looking at it and at various parts through the demo but nothing.

According to someone on reddit:
"nokarmawhore 3 points 8 minutes ago
Has anyone gone back and forth between time trying to get the camera man upstairs?
Get the fuse and insert it into the fuse box
Get the wire cutters, get the tape then go upstairs and drop down the 3rd floor stairs
Play the tape
Get the lockpick and unlock the drawer
Stop the tape, get the axe and play the tape again
Suddenly the stairs are dropped down during tape gameplay?...
Just my crazy theory. Wish I could try this out!"

Intestine, Bowels, Guts. Seems to be a general term.

I've stopped the tape in many different places trying to see if it would effect anything, and no luck.

At this point I think we can only proceed by playing RE 4, 5 and 6 on the PS4...then changing the date on the PS4.. then speaking to "dad" before he grabs you using a ps4 mic.. then maybe something changes ....

Weve got to keep digging....
I've hacked that cow so much it died again
This wouldn't make a lot of sense. The lowering of the attic stairs takes place in the future from when the tape is recorded, so unless of course we're dealing with some rift in time shit it wouldn't matter.
Also, stopping the tape completely reverts the tape to back at the beginning of the sequence. So if that does play into the solution, it'll be actual fucking hell testing things because of how much time that dialogue takes.

I wonder if there's a way to look up and see a helicopter outside in the VHS after viewing the photo? I'm not sure what that would achieve, but it could be a [far fetched] beginning to a series of events.
No, I know what an intestine is. I'm just wondering if it's referring to the cows in the hall leading to the backdoor.

I gave that a try, even cranked my sound up to see if i could hear a helicopter and nothing. Waiting a good while too.

I feel like I'm even behind everyone else... I am still messing around on a third time, and I'm looking through every nook and I still haven't found a fuse...or gotten up to an attic that I've seen people mention...I still haven't seen this helicopter picture or phone. What am I missing...
Barry Burton

I tried something like that earlier, it didn't work. The fuse isn't there in the tape version, and the stairs aren't down.

Well the new theory is that you have the power to manipulate the video because the phone call clues you receive ....

You've seen the end of the VHS tape? At the start of a new cycle, open the secret passage yourself, before watching the tape and you'll find the next bit from there.

Darn. Thanks for letting me know, I won't bother to pitch a tent out there now.

When you start a new run activate the secret switch in the fireplace before going into the VHS World

I actually tried opening the passage before watching the tape on my second play through, and it didn't let me until after I watched the tape again...

I mean, you never know. Maybe it requires a really specific point of the demo for it to trigger anything, but i spent quite a while exploring this theory.
It will, you just have to stare right at the handle. The prompt is a little finicky. Though, not in the VHS, they other fellow with you always has to interact with it there.

You guys ever get a "Stoning" message. I got that at the end of the table in the room with the TV.

That would be like cheating. Where is the fun in that?
PositiveGamer

Yeah. It's on the table in the middle of the room and then it gets put in front of you when you finish the tape. It's clearly a reference to PSLAM 137:9 but what it has to do with solving the riddle is anyone's guess.
I make sure that I activate the manikin that appears behind you once you turn around from entering the top of the stairs. Now look at the 3 manikins to the left. They are turned away, now look again. They are looking at you now. Now get the phone to ring and come back. Answer it and duck away from the manikins. Also helps if you kill some with the axe. The 3 can't be killed though. Stay down and you will make it. If you hang around wondering aimlessly, the fam guy catches you. There is room to breath if you can figure out the next step.
I had the opposite experience. Opened it immediately. It doesn't show the prompt until you're pretty close, though.
You can open it up from the very start of the demo.

Anything happen with the headphones upstairs?
This thing seems unsolvable. If there is an end they made it so convoluted people will get bored and the hype will die.

what happens if he doesnt catch you?

Not that anyone has found, though they do look more like earmuffs to me. They stand out so much, they really must be a clue to something.
