Legit, I did the same after network sniffing the pkg location and unpkg, but since the unpkg tool only dumps non-encrypted stuff all you get is the related images and general pacage config, no contents from the game itself since that is all encrypted.

The maps really help piece things together, really great work. Something they have got me thinking about is that empty space between the kitchen and tv room. It seems really odd that when building a house you would choose to have a windowless room with the only entry being via a small pantry, you would most likely need to duck to get in due to the stairs too. Perhaps there's a secret door into that room? Given that the living room already has a secret door switch to access the secret passage it could be possible there's something else in that room. It makes me think of Batman Begins where Bruce plays the piano to open the batcave.

I hadn't noticed this before and I'm pretty sold on it.
Even if you could get the fuse in VHS, it may not work because the fusebox is in a different position on the wall. It's not even connected to the wire.
You have 120 posts in this thread telling us that. We get it.
It's most likely the original way into the cellar.

I don't think you can
Well the fusebox in the VHS is not connected at all and does not light... I think even with a fuse, those stairs won't move

Don't let appearances deceive you, the lady says, so I do think it's worth trying.Well the fusebox in the VHS is not connected at all and does not light... I think even with a fuse, those stairs won't move
From what I can tell, people have only been taking information from the tape and using it in the real world. Maybe we should try more to take information from the real world and use it in the tape?
That fuse would be mighty helpful.
Welcome to the family, son!
I'm glad we were able to give him a name during my first stream. A lot of people suggested Dave, but Skip stuck and I wouldn't have it any other way.

not sure if it has any meaning but there is a slight light change (glitch?) on top to the house at the beginning of the Tape
https://youtu.be/QrSD8MyM8zw?t=5m15s
I think that would be the room behind near phone room that glitched, or we can get through there from the door downstair that has burnt handle, I think this door is interesting as it is the only door that is locked but not barricaded maybe it has something to do with the burnt finger.
also, door magically closes at 6:46

There is no button command for the fuse in vhs world though?
However i think they key to progressing forward is in the vhs world. For example in vhs world you get this
It's clearly interactable. My guess is you have to drop the bolt cutters in the real world so you can pick it up in vhs world. Maybe the fuse is in there?

Again, I'm certain those are not headphones. They're ear muffs.
Not a bad idea! Don't think you can drop any items, though.
Any way to do the VHS without picking up the bolt cutters? I didn't think so...

Further evidence that the footage from the trailer could indeed be from the demo. Capcom said these characters won't appear in the final game right? If so, the guy being dragged by Family Man (who's also carrying "not so ghost" girl on his shoulder) is definitely the character you play as, he's wearing the same clothes...
I tried recreating the disappearing door glitch to no avail, so I'm not really sure what else I can do :/

Didn't Capcom say that the demo has no correlation to the main game? Pretty sure everything in that trailer is playable, we just have to figure out how.

^ Yes, but people were saying that while the demo itself might be unrelated the house might be featured in the final game, thus explaining the existance of possibly unused rooms.
The fact the trailer clearly shows the demo character being dragged might debunk this idea though. Unless of course the main character of the full game buys clothes at the same clothing store

Jeez, I've been out if this for a day... Numbers! I'm not seeing some of these numbers. Don't forget it's RE, I think things are a bit more straightforward.
When I last played it I noticed a noise coming from upstairs, like something being shifted around. Perhaps the aim is not to trigger family man by keeping him upstairs. There could also be something missed in the VHS which alters in the present, but this also applies to altering something in the present which will effect the VHS. Doesn't one of the phone calls mention not trusting memories?
One rep has confirmed it's possible to get out if the house - which technically you do when you open the door - you can clearly see outside, the swing etc. but no one else has confirmed this.
I'm thinking something timed now, the hate will flow. Well done for everyone keeping at it.

Maybe it's hinting at turning your in game volume off.
I don't think so. I'm 99.9% sure that the entrance to the cellar is the boarded-up door under the stairs, in the straw doll room.

if you look at 1:40 on the trailer you walk into the tv room and the secret hatch is closed and on the table where the bloody stuff is there is a photo. not seen that in the demo.
You are gonna try that order of events people were talking about earlier?

I think triggering the piano will open the secret room in the attic, and that's the situation where you need the axe.
If you don't have the axe, you probably get dragged away by family man, like shown in the trailer.
If we are going with the 4 endings theory, I can see 1. going out the back door. 2.Answering the phone. 3. Dragged away by family man. 4. Fending him off with the axe, true end?

I think the helicopter photo and "saying goodbye" are the two biggest clues we currently have toward the next ending, if there is one.
Clearly the Family Man has the house bugged. He also walks into frame in the cellar when Andre falls on you not from the ladder but from somewhere else in the cellar. So he probably has a monitoring/safe room somewhere in the house that can get to the cellar. "Are they watching us from that helicopter" might be alluding to being surveilled.
Another thing that might deal with numbers is the stopped clock in the hallway. Usually escape the room type puzzles that involve a clock make use of it. In my game the clock was stopped at 10:37. I probably should have been checking the clock after certain events to see if it ever changed times.
Just throwing my thoughts out there after playing this for a few hours last night.
edit: Had a thought, maybe helicopter = ceiling fan?

Is it possible to press the attic button again once the stairs have come down? Maybe there's a way to trap the old man after answering the phone, thus preventing him to grab us when we leave through the back door?

I just want this demo to have more secrets
Besides, are you talking about the ~55 seconds teaser for PT? Because that's pretty much identical to the final game, other than Lisa slowly turning around instead of just being there

Can someone take a screenshot of the message on the back of the helicopter photo?
I've tried a few and trying to work out some inconsistencies.
But following one specific order does nor get you family'd after picking up the phone, that's that.
By the way, datamining PS4 games is not (yet) possible

Hallway was different (lots of shit around). Just pointing out if there's any difference in the house between the trailer and the actual demo (didn't really examine the RE7 trailer much).

Is the clock showing hours, minutes and seconds? If it is, are all six numbers individual and lower than seven? For example 12.46.53. Could that be the sequence to get the objectives finishing with the piano for the seventh?
I know that it shows the seconds on the video, but having to get and watch the vhs could may break the sequence needed. But that could be countered by being welcomed then getting the objects in the order shown in the previous playthrough.

Just watched someone's run and for some reason the phone call conversation where she says "you have the power to choose" keeps popping in my head...
Btw, I'm not very good - took me forever just to find the axe!
Has anyone tried to drop/discard the cutters in the draw next to where you use the lockpick/axe?

Interesting that you can be family'd by the door with the broken doorknob...
I have a feeling that's why the demo is only on PS4 right now. There's clearly more to it and Capcom wants to ride this viral train for as long as possible.
Yeah for those suggesting dropping who haven't played the demo, there's an option to 'discard', but since its defined by a trashcan icon, I'd say it's for consumables only, since the option itself is greyed out for key items.

I think I've been family'd there before. I've been family'd in so many different places that it's making me think it's possible to be family'd anywhere

Tried that. I think we need to dial it back here. The VHS world and the Real World are the same. I say this because the VHS world directly effects the Real World. We know this because the drawer you unlock in the VHS world unlocks the drawer for the VHS world and thus you get the axe.
Going into VHS world with items doesn't do anything because you are stepping back in time.
What I still think is that the VHS World still has one more interactable we're missing which will unlock a new area. Think how moving a box or a kitchen chair may reveal a keyhole in the VHS world which means we can use the Dummy finger. I'm also very much on the side that the Dummy finger is a key and puttibf it near a piano wouldn't do anything.
I have a question though, how do you get the ghost girl to spawn? I have seen her in The first 3 locations but not after. Is there a series of events you have to do to get her to spawn?
It's like a vignette. Happens when you two-hand the axe and probably also happens when you idle.
What an epic little short movie. I hope they did base the puzzle off this.

But are you suggesting we can drop the lock pick because it's a consumable? I have never seen the option to discard ungrey.

Whoa. I have gone nowhere near as deep down the rabbit hole as the good folks in this thread, but I did try the demo last night. I see a lot of potential. Despite it feeling very new, it kind of felt very familiar as well. Like playing the first Resident Evil for the first time again.
I'm excited.

Aside from the back door, which seems to be an instant fail for attempting to leave the 'easy' way at any point in the demo regardless, the ones I know of after answering the phone are
- Between door and phone in phone room (can be avoided by wall-hugging)
- Between both sets of stairs (can be avoided by wall-hugging)
- Shelf side of kitchen table (can by avoided by going round the window side)
- Outside broken doorknob door (can be avoided by wall-hugging)
- Entrance to secret door in TV room (can be avoided by wall-hugging)
You can reset all of these to my knowledge after triggering them by watching the tape to the end and getting the key.
I don't mean like a one-time use key item, I mean like ammo and health, which I presume we'll see in the main game (or maybe later in the demo if we're lucky).
It seems to be that there's no way of letting go of key items at all.
Hibiki Kurosawa

You're not supposed to escape those. That wall hugging shit is just breaking the game to avoid the family man because there isn't room for the cutscene to happen. Otherwise he would be punching you through a wall.
Well rather than "I don't think so" you should say "I think so too". Because that door is the one leading to the empty space between the TV Room and the Kitchen.
So we are on the same side on this, hahaha.
