I am.
 
Is this going to be a SP experience like Until Dawn? I remember hearing something about it having an integrated multiplayer mode using smart phones or something?
 
I'm very excited about it. However it is a Playlink game (so MP-focused) and I expect it to be shorter than Until Dawn so it's probably good to keep expectations in check.

It's a game you play with your phone.

Mehhh.

Hardly the sequel I was hoping for.

I'm passing.
 
I think the hype is there, but Until Dawn was kind of a cult hit. I expect it'll sell really well hitting the week before Halloween though.
 
Was surprised at the very low price point (15 quid on Amazon). Confused why it was so cheap compared to Until Dawn but I pre-ordered it with no hesitation at all for that price and how good UD was. Their other game launches pretty soon after this right? The PSVR one?

The concept sounds super cool but for whatever reason Sony has been doing absolutely zero marketing for this game which is really weird

Also it's $20 which makes me wonder how much content it has. I'm guessing it's only a couple hours?

It's only 3 hours long.

It's been pushed to November in Europe I think, so that might play a role, but as for me I want to go in blind if reviews / wom is good.

The official thread is locked so I ask here: what the heck is going on with this game? It has already released, right? Although a month later in Europe. Can any USgaffer give some impressions? Until Dawn was so well received and the word of mouth was impressive, I was also part of the group who loved the game, but it seems the opposite for this one…?

It was fun for a playthrough but nobody I played with wanted to do another one. :(


Edit: You too forgot Canada is a thing, so consider me triggered.

Uh, that sucks. I read it was really short (like an hour and a half), but as long as it was replayable… is it not recommendable to play alone? I would like to play with a friend, but probably just one playthrough as well… but it is just 20€, hmmmm…

And sorry for forgetting about Canada, it is late at night where I live and my brain does not want to cooperate. :_)

This is apparently its cover:

Sony just gave up.

My gf and I just played it. We chose to work together, but man did we fux up. Got the main character killed and didn’t solve the case :(

Amazon has it discounted to $15 so I was tempted, but seeing as a playthrough is only ~2 hours apparently, and I have nobody to play it with (not that solo is bad, but multiplayer is part of the appeal.. my wife hates games, and that would probably even extend to a "game" like this).

This seems like something that could go below $10 before too long anyway so I can sit tight.

You are right nonetheless!

I do not see any offer around here so it would be 20€ and that makes the decision a bit harder, also those are my fears as well. I do not like buying games that I will only play with friends (like Keep talking and nobody explodes), at least that they are both enjoyable solo or in coop (like Cuphead).

But I liked Until Dawn so so much…

Hopefully the relationship will remain the same. :p

Never heard of it.
I remember the announcement at E3 I believe it was, but I completely forgot its name and thought it would take much more time to get released. I think that Sony just released the game with low close to zero expectations.

It could make a really cool Giant Bomb video as well now that I think about it. They made a quick look video at least.

I need it!!

I wonder how it will work with two people since decisions would be a 50/50 split


When working together u get points (takeover is the name) for finding clues or being the fastest during a QT event. So when u get those points u can apply 1pt to have the sole decision. So that can create some funny or angry moments lol
 
Tried playing last night and kept getting disconnects with the phones, not sure what was going on there as home network is rock solid and never had issues before with things like Singstar.

Report me if I continue to console war
Just checked out some gameplay, looks pretty good, has some nice graphics especially the character models. If your wanting a detective game like heavy rain/until dawn this fits the bill.
However I can imagine this being on PSN+ sooner rather then later.
