Okay, a few new things from the stream GAF just helped me with (around 90 viewers).
We started at the final loop, the end of a game started the night P.T. came out. We'd tried the 15-20 minute wait, had red, blue, green flashlights, and tried the whole 'Step 10, get first giggle, then stand where ghost
was for second giggle', none of this had worked. We didn't have a headset plugged in.
Took us 17 minutes to finish the final loop, after looping a handful of times.
What happened when it worked was:
Plugged in Sennheiser MM30i earbuds (with microphone control on cable), discovered it worked on stream. Waited for bells to finish chiming at 00:00. Take ten steps, get baby giggle. Waited by radio for a bit, walked back down to phone. Turned around and saw ghost under the light. (The light in the foyer was on, you can trigger this by walking backwards down the stairs into the door and turning around at the last moment as you loop.) Watched her until she left, got vibrations and the phone rang.
So we DIDN'T go and stand where the ghost was, just watched her under the light.
------------------------
After this is where it gets interesting. We started a new playthrough with the intention of discovering secrets.
We rushed through, got all picture pieces as early as possible, gouged the picture eye, did the fast red corridors and the peep hole, saw ghost on balcony after window smash, basically I think the only thing we
didn't see was a ghost in the outside window.
We got the yellow error message when the game 'crashes'.
When we got to the final loop, we waited for the bells to chime 00:00, took ten steps down to about where the radio was - First Baby Cry.
Turned around and pretty much instantly (correct me on this if you viewed and I'm wrong?) we got a Second Baby Cry.
Waited until controller vibrated, walked over to the phone and it rang, we picked it up.
So things that DIDN'T happen on the second run -
- WE DIDN'T DIE ONCE (as in, when you get caught by the face who grabs you up close)
- WE DIDN'T GET ANY COLOUR FLASHLIGHT
- WE DIDN'T STAND WHERE THE GHOST HAD BEEN
However, I am now thinking that streaming/having a mic in does help, and its what meant we could finish a run in about 43 minutes.
