What exactly is there to do with that photo though. Yeah it has umbrella on it. But you can't carry it.

The finger is a key, you can see it. The question is where do you use that key!

oh yeah there was a specific date? I must have missed that when I played the demo. But if so then whats the new virus? Las plagas updated?
I actually put my controller down and waited, and then I realized what I had to do. Good stuff.

You can rotate it and it has text on the back of it. It just says, "are they watching us?"

Finger is the key, you can hear sounds with a headset easier and people behind walls. So maybe you insert the key somewhere in a wall? Idk I can't play now to try this.
I'm fairly confident in saying that the finger, which I do believe to be a key like most, doesn't fit into anything we can *see* yet.
I am starting to think that, much like how we get the axe, we will need to replay through the recorded segment multiple times. The game doesn't care how many times you do it, and even if you do things inconsistantly (like never open the locked drawer with the axe inside) on a second playthrough, your player still has the axe. Maybe we need to attempt multiple tries through the video, and at some point, something major will change in the current time.

I don't have a PS4 currently but have have been watching streams of it for hours. I have a theory that apparently is too out of the box for most streamers to try. Here it is:
The finger that everyone finds specifically tells you it's made of celluloid. I believe that the finger is only a clue and not some sort of key. Old baby dolls were traditionaly made out of celluloid. When you pick up the bolt cutters an old, burnt baby doll falls from the ceiling.
People have also been seeing glimpses of a ghost girl. If you line up all the clips of the girl she appears along the trail that leads to the hole in the crawl space. I theorize she was killed down there.
Once the doll falls you are able to move it around the house by kicking it. I want someone to try kicking it into the hole in the crawls space. Give the ghost girl her doll back.
If someone could test this theory out and report back with the results it would be awesome. Thanks.

I wonder if somehow things will be time released in this game-like at a certain time we'll be able to do something with the finger.
Otherwise you'd think we'd have figured it out by now-there isn't that much in the game that's interactive.
The ghost girl appearances are really a cool touch.
Yeah that's literally the only reference to existing canon that I know of.

Well, time to go hit everything possible in the attic with the axe and try to find something new lol

Just saw the ghost girl images on Reddit, omfg...
This gave me an idea that I can't test right now. Can you discard the finger down the hole?

So just in case people who are exploring/experimenting don't know: you can choose to end the video early by pressing options, doing so doesn't move/change the dash against the stones note and doesn't seem to produce the backdoor key from the secret passage, you can still get the axe using this method so its just going back to before you started playing this segment. Not sure if this will have an effect on anything
The camcorder timestamp is dated 1st June 2017.
I can't discard the finger at all

It's worth a try
It was always there
Well poop.
Her appearances seem to be random. I haven't seen her in my 2 playthroughs so far.

Graphics better or worse than pt?
Alright, thanks for the heads up. I really just don't remember seeing it my first time through.

Seems strange to have an advert for one of the companies working on the game like this right? its also on one of the splash screens when you put the title up.

Worse. not horrible though.

Where even is that?
Worse, but runs at 60fps (or possibly higher)

I posted this in another thread, but this one seems more focused on figuring out the demo, so here it is again.
I kicked that doll baby thing all the way back to the TV room with the intention of kicking it down the hole in the secret passage. Not too far into the TV room though, the baby just stops moving and will disappear if you go too far into the room. If you go back it reappears, but it won't move anymore. It could be a glitch, but I feel like it might be something since there is ghost stuff in this game.

Has someone tried going through the tape start to finish 7 times?

Currently trying ending the tape at different times to see if it does anything, but no luck.
PT didn't have to run at VR friendly framerates so it's obviously going to look better.

The dummy finger mentions it's made of celluloid, which was used to make film a while back. Relevant?

Anyone been able to read the writing on the fuse yet when you examine it? Could be nothing but it does seem like you can make a few words out pretty clearly.
Can probably be burned to get the key but we don't know how to.

I did the same thing, it really feels like a glitch

Doesn't it just say "stairs"?

On the tape it does, but on the actual label there is a lot of writing too.
Whelp, where goes my theory. Back to the drawing board.

I just checked, and it's way too small for me too read, though I swear one of the words might say "axe." It could be a hint, but I just can't see it.

If you hold r2 with the axe he does a two handed swing, maybe that has something to do with using it in the attic?? maybe we need a stronger swing with the axe
