I actually muted the voice track for an entire playthrough because I was sick of hearing the dialogue. Andre still does his thing

Oh well, it could have been something. At least it was tested and we can look elsewhere.

Just re-listened earlier and it is "I'm outside the door"

Wasn't one of the ghost apparition near the door outside?

 

[Shauni]

I really wonder if we have to say something when on the phone. Hmm, if anyone has a good idea i'll give it a test.

Scream Ada at it.

Spooky :3

 

[gafneo]

Could you post a screenshot if able?

I have no capture cards. It's pretty obvious though. Just stand to the right of the mirror until the numbers pop up. They reflect off of light. It's very clear.

 

[Keihart]

I think is talking backwards?

 

[consoul]

I just got welcomed to the Family in the TV room after getting the axe and answering the phone.

I thought the TV room was safe. Nope.

Holy shit thats scary! o_o

You have to play the video and then it'll be safe

Try some of the lyrics from the song in the trailer?
I really don't know what we can say. Maybe something to do with the notes?

So he follows you down to the first floor? I thought the first floor was safe

 

[S0cc3rpunk]

anyone know how to get the ghost to pop out in the VHS parts?

 

[Shauni]

Wait, really? I assume you still die if you go out the backdoor, though?

 

[fritzo]

PT was figured out in like two hours or so.

by accident tho. even Kojima was surprised. I think they're making this harder so it can't be beaten in the same way.

 

[Persona7]

I wonder if the lockpick can be used in another spot?

 

[jacob armitage]

I have no capture cards. It's pretty obvious though. Just stand to the right of the mirror until the numbers pop up. They reflect off of light. It's very clear.

I mean i see a clear symbol on the black surface (which i wouldn't call a mirror, but its the only thing around the area you described) with the dots, but i'm not seeing numbers. Also, you're playing on a PS4, just hit the share button to take a screenshot and upload it to twitter (better option imo) or facebook. It takes a few seconds.

Or just "jarith" 7 times lol

 

[Barry Burton]

If you mute all other sounds and crank up the voice volume you can hear some whispering.

I swear I hear what sounds like a man's voice when I did this, but it always overlaps with your character's breathing, so I can't make anything out. But that could also just be my ears playing tricks on me...

I wonder if the lockpick can be used in another spot?

I was wondering about that too. Or if you pick it up in the past but don't use it, would it appear in the present? So basically you could use the lockpick on the door instead of the key, and you wouldn't get attacked by the family man.

I tried a few scenarios like this but didn't have any luck. As far as I can tell, its only use is to unlock the drawer with the ax.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Wait, really? I assume you still die if you go out the backdoor, though?

Well it's I'll save you from being grabbed after answering the phone if you make it down there. He'll always get you at the door though.

 

[N.Domixis]

Im watching some ps4 stream and hes replayed the video many times and they seem to be random.

 

[RootCause]

Nope, I've seen the one on the stairs. Glad I haven't seen it anymore. :3

Ok, I'll brb

 

[fritzo]

i got the lock pick and used it during the tape, can it be used in the present day as well?

 

[Shauni]

I wonder if the lockpick can be used in another spot?

It can't be. Or at least, nothing has been found. I know people have searched every nook and cranny looking for another thing to use it on, so if it's there, it's hidden very well.

 

[Soulflarz]

the magic bullet has bonded us for life bro
FO LYFE

hmph

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Y'all gettin' Kojima'd

 

[Persona7]

I tried ending the video and completing the scene with the lockpick and it disappears from your inventory when you go back.

 

[MattyG]

Near the room with the dolls hanging. Has shaky yellow numbers 17.

I don't see anything. The only yellow thing I see are a bunch of dots forming VERY arguable 1.

 

[RootCause]

Or just "jarith" 7 times lol

Maybe Uroboros? Lol

I mentioned earlier to try "everyone is dead" since it tells you to go tell aunt Rhodie everyone is dead at the headphones upstairs but someone said they're ear muffs so couldn't hurt trying to say it in the phone.

 

[Shauni]

No, the lock pick doesn't carry over

 

[RootCause]

hmph

Lol I thought that was game related. this game smh. ;_;

Looks tasty btw.

 

[Kalentan]

Maybe it's just me but anyone actually find the voice acting and writing to actually be quite solid for a demo?

Also I can't be the only one that thinks Andre looks like how Tony Hawk does in some of his older games.

 

[jacob armitage]

Damn good idea, going to give it a go. Being that your character actually speaks, i don't think this really is the right path but certainly worth a go.

 

[Persona7]

I am going to try shouting "Where's everyone going? Bingo?" into the mic.

 

[EVA UNIT 01]

hmph

im just chugging starbucks
be offended

on topic the demo is making me a little bitch

 

[Jawmuncher]

Maybe the random noises in the beginning of the song like the cow?

 

[MattyG]

Wait, how'd you hear that?

 

[S0cc3rpunk]

Nope, I've seen the one on the stairs. Glad I haven't seen it anymore. :3

lol, i been seeing the one in the hall way, when the guy kicks the door to get in.

 

[Shauni]

The voice acting for the two tv show guys is fine to me. I guess Family is okay too, but I don't know if one can rate his performance on, "Welcome to the Family, son!" alone.

 

[DNAbro]

Okay finally got to play through the demo. I watched a bit yesterday, wasn't the fuse supposed to be on the table after the vhs video portion? I didn't pop up for me.

 

[tmtyf]

Someone on Reddit just posted there is a chest in the attic and the mannequin finger looks like a chest key

 

[Shauni]

Wait, how'd you hear that?

The song from the trailer is what he's talking about. It says to tell Aunt Rhody that everyone is dead.

 

[Spenny]

Before the vhs when you first start the game.

 

[Spoo]

What I don't understand are the German hints.

I mean, okay, taken at face value, what more can be done realistically with the axe and picture? Suppose that the progress on that front, if it exists, is completely independent from any events triggered up to that point with the exception of the necessary ones (ie, getting the lockpick, the axe, etc). The picture can be rotated arbitrarily iirc, so there's a possibility -- however slight -- that a particular rotation can initiate something, but how would we know?

As far as the axe, it would seem obvious that the "event" referenced would be what happens after you answer the phone, but it's been attempted numerous times to use L2 and R2 to defend/attack the family man. We've probably beaten the walls bloody with the axe in the attack.

What haven't we really done, if we're not including different permutations of events up to that point?

 

[Jawmuncher]

A key to open a chest to get another key. It has to be.

The fuse will be in the room unlocked by the fireplace handle before watching the VHS.

 

[Shauni]

What the shit!? Where did they find the chest?

 

[Jawmuncher]

"Call to him and he will come"

We must summon family man, but without being welcomed into the family.

Do you have a link for the thread?

I don't know why but the way Andre corrected the guy on them not being hillbillies and how they weren't backwards, just quiet. It's not a lot but it's some nice effort put in. Maybe it's just me. xD

Though I've heard it so many times on streams now.
