Any ideas what the Pro patch provides? Did you also notice the assets streaming in a little delayed after loading?

I... guess I'm buying this. I mean, why not, it's 2017 and there's a new great game daily.

How technically demanding is this? Looked pretty detailed in the screenshots
Might have to get it on PS4 rather than PC

Intel i5, Intel HD 5500
Not sure what the game's engine is. UE4 usually runs poorly for me, but Unity tends to be fine overall

The PC's voice is one of the worst voices I've ever heard in one of these first-person walking simulators. Is there an option to mute the voice volume?

Huh? I thought it was more than fine.
Just finished this in one sitting this evening. Great stuff and definitely up there amongst the best of the walking simulators, though The Vanishing of Ethan Carter still holds the crown for me.
There was a grin on my face when I realised there was a connection with
and the section in the
put to life one of my dream ideas for gaming: Performing normal gaming-actions, but in time to music. It's why I was looking forward to Harmonix's Chroma until it got put on hiatus.
Overall, it was a joy to go through in a bittersweet way and I'm quite glad they left
ambiguous, so it can either be a family with tragic luck, or something else underlying that we'll never know.
Marvellous stuff.

Edit: the placement and use of text is so good in this. And I love how the devs have created such varied scenarios and moments with such simple set of controls and mechanics

the shift in art style and panel-by-panel presentation is really clever

How did you find the Halloween theme music
Oh man, you're in for so much more! The house is labyrinthine, love the progression of the level design.More_Badass

As soon as it started, I had a big grin on my face.?How did you find the Halloween theme music
Just did
Sam's story. Using the perspective of the camera was just genius
It's UE4. I realise you're already playing the game, but, yeah, the PS4 version is the one to go with if you don't have a 750 Ti or better.

A wonderful experience. Some of my favourite gaming moments of the year.

Okay, that was brilliant. Reviews weren't kidding when they said this feels like the culmination and evolution of what the "walking sim" genre started as
Such incredible uses of tactile controls and perspective to tell its stories. My favorites were
,
, and
, but they were all well done
And seriously, now that the genre is doing stuff like this, it really needs a new name. It would be like still calling FPSs "Doom clones" today

the reticle isn't enough? Not sure what that statement means.

I always liked narrative exploration games, because they tell you exactly what they are without sounding derogatory or pretentious.
The reticle (dot in middle) can help alleviate motion sickness by having a static object for the brain to focus on. It has not worked for me here. I looked through the files but couldn't find anything related to FOV. I'm okay with breaking the models (within reason) if I can bump up to FOV, otherwise I'm refunding. It seems cool, but I'm not playing it in bursts with recovery sessions of feeling like crap.
OK. I didn't know what you meant by it's not enough. I've never heard of that being the case with motion sickness. Either it happens or not, from my experience. Sorry you're not feeling well.
I wish it was 60FPS. The performance sucks and the judder bugs me. Otherwise great game
It can vary a lot for me - FOV, frame rate, judder, movement, points of reference. Sometimes it can be a mild something-isn't-right-here feeling, other times, like with this game, my stomach starts curdling. I didn't mean to come across aggressive towards you or the game, I just loath this feeling, especially when it's preventing me from enjoying something.

Yup, I also stated in my review how this felt like what Gone Home, Dear Esther, Vanishing Of Ethan Carter, and That Dragon Cancer were building towards where it isn't just you walking and listening to an audiobook.

I'm halfway through the family tree and so far I'm loving this so hard.
Unfinished Swan super mega falcon punched a very personal and sensitive spot in my heart and this game is like giving me a spooky fun hug.
God I wish it could last forever. I'd kill for a mini series adaptation or something with more back story for each family member and flash backs etc. Key word being adaptation...

Ive got a lesser-specced PC than yourself and ran it at 1080p on Ultra settings at 60fps. You should be fine.

This was a great experience. Think I was left a little cold with not finding out exactly how Edie went and what she wrote for Edith, but everything was supremely well done.
Probably gonna play through the unfinished swan now!

Can anyone tell me how long the game is? I'm trying to figure out if I can squeeze it in this weekend and HowLongToBeat doesn't have any info on it yet. Feel free to spoiler tag it so as not to ruin it for others
About two hours

Loved it. Scored it a 10/10 for the review.

Giant Sparrow managed to give each character depth even though time spent with each was short. The visual styles, the music, and the stories were all fantastic.

Beautiful experience. There is so much worth praising - it's a game that starts and never stopped surprising me until the credits roll.

Someone proposed "light adventure" here a while back and I thought that fit nicely. The problem is that every review, and every discussion, inevitably uses the term walking simulator so you can't escape it.
Totally agree that WROEF (hoo that's a mouthful) is on a new level though, even just in terms of experiments with scenario design. Some of the sequences were like poems.
Thanks!
if I had to guess it might be so it can control what you see at any time.

i3 6100 paired with R9 380 here, 60fps in most places expect in the beginning, all High (textures on Ultra), 1080p.
EDIT: Also finnished the game, my favorite sequence was Lewis, which for me is the most memorable and perfection in storytelling. Best "Walking Simulator" I've played so far, just insanely good.

Really enjoyed this.
Nice stories and some quirky, original gameplay elements.
