I wonder if those bolt cutters are hidden somewhere in the past. The cabinet has chains on it in the past, but the tape can't possibly be in there because you're filming the tape (ha), so maybe there's a way to get that cabinet open.

Good idea....has anyone tried to mess with that locked cabinet with the lockpick you find by the microwave?

can you replicate the bolt cutters moving? I thought I saw it once but can't seem to do it again, whereas the finger I can move each time.

So I haven't played the demo yet, but can you change the "present" by playing the VHS "past"? Like, if you leave a drawer open in the VHS world, will it be open when you come back to the real world? Kinda like that movie "Frequency" with Dennis Quaid lol

Was keeping up with the thread until about page 10. Last I checked everyone was looking for a use for the finger. How much progress has been made?

Ok theory time.


Someone mentioned earlier how that all the doors that you can go through are white.

The starting room door.
The door near the backdoor with the dead cows.
The door to the phone
The backdoor during the vhs.

All of these are white.

The other doors are not and are inaccessible. Even the backdoor during the present isn't white anymore. You can't open it without getting family'd.

So there's also one more door that is white. It's the upstairs one that is barricaded with a light next to it.

I'm going to assume that door is the next place to go.

Still looking for a use for the finger.
I'm gonna give up I think.
At this point I'm almost convinced there's nothing more to this demo

right ok it is a dynamic movement. that is all sorry. if only the finger moved i would concentrating on that.

but as the cutters move in a circular motion pointing at nothing i dont think this is anything other than a really good puzzle that isnt here.

other ppl need to try it first but as far as i can see its nothing

im watching the tape move aswell.

Anyone tried using the drawers to send the bolt cutters to the past?
You can't drop items, but has anyone tried using the bolt cutters / finger in the open drawers?

The finger pointing in a direction seems like bull... Since I moved to the spot others have said and it doesn't move on it's own at all and there is no resistence moving it in any direction.

Yes and no. It is the only way to get the axe, but so far I don't think they have found other ways to change the present.

Opening the refrigerator in the past, for instance, doesn't lead to a present with an open refrigerator.

I feel like there is more to achieve in the past, but it isn't clear what (if anything) that might be. The ghost sightings are interesting, but I don't think anyone can find them all more than semi-reliably.

Ha!

I've used that damn finger against every object in the house. Either we are looking for a pixel sized interaction or there is nothing left to interact with that has been found so far. I still believe there is more to this than we've found, but it must be positional, timing based or the seven ghost theory.

There was a picture earlier looking out of a open garage, was that fake?

If you turn everything but voice down to zero, the movement seems in-time with the protag's breath. I don't think it's anything (would be happy to be proven wrong, but....)

You can't put items into the drawer. Even if that was possible, stuff you do in present time does not effect the past.

This is what I was thinking last night when I said the trailer contains an upstairs segment. I also said that the first and second floor of the house is too small. There's no bedrooms or anything.

ppl who are lttp just go back a few pages everything you are asking is answered you cant drop any items at this stage if at all.

the finger can not be used other than to look at ,, again at this stage.

if ppl dnt have the demo go back a few pages before posting ideas cus they are all just repeats so far. and it isnt helping other than slowing down progress that we arnt making.

I know this is super nitpicky but why are they filming on VHS when it says on the tape it was filmed in 2017?
Click to expand...

Probably just because it's meant as a like a low budget filming for a location TV show or something like that, so they don't have digital. Though, I really don't know how accurate that actually is to how things work in that line of business.

I've been watching streams of people trying to figure this thing out, and even though on paper it looks stupid with people hacking at walls and pointing a dummy finger at places, it's so interesting!

I really hope we solve this.

So holding my own stream, there's a lot of options to watch my own (which does have some commentary and delay), you can find it here: http://www.hitbox.tv/AestheticGamer

But speaking of that, I have been observing a light on the second floor, when you look at it, your screen gets darker, and there's a specific spot on the staircase it almost goes IMMEDIATELY dark when you look at it through some spiderwebs. And they look like they form the number '609'

I don't know if it has any purpose, but thought I'd mention.
