If you still want to look more into this game, I'd suggest watching some of the episode previews and the devlogs. The developer of this game keeps us updated every month.

I have a few in mind :) the current next playthrough is gonna be for the game Until Then. People are always welcome to recommend games too, I'm a big fan of visual novel/story heavy/psychological horror games (if that wasn't clear already from this playthrough lol). I'm glad you enjoyed it! This game honestly ended up being a BLAST, I did not expect to like it as much as I did.

​@@HazmaticGamesBy choosing "Never say never!" you would have seen a wholesome interaction between Andrew and Ashley on the bridge, where Andrew embraces her in a gentle hug. It's a shame you missed out on it, but oh well, the commenter here made a pretty good analysis videos about the game. Feel free to check'em out if you haven't already.

Yeah, there's a good amount of hidden dialogue in this game. There's also some wholesome dialogue between Andrew and Ashley if you choose to talk to Andrew before cleaning the basement in the burial route. Anyway, I just thought I'd mention it in case you didn't know.

There are some other scenes you seem to have missed such as an interaction with the window after getting the plank and Ashley saying she'll need something to undo the latch. If you aren't up to play through again to see everything there are videos that show off all the optional scenes.

Yep! I actually just made a video last night going over the stuff I missed (including the decay route), it'll probably be posted soon :)

I don't think Decaydrew resents Ashley for ruining his life, but for being his handcrafted failure-he ruined his own life by ruining her. Burialdrew on the other hand is having a good time because he doesn't even see the problem and sees Ashley as his partner-in-crime.

@ I'm not too sure about that. Andrew is definitely VERY possessive of Ashley, but I don't really think there's sufficient evidence that he is the one manipulating Ashley. Yes, he served as a quasi parental figure for her, but I don't really think that's enough to conclude that he intentionally molded her into the perfect excuse for his problems. He was a child at the time too, and one could just as easily conclude that if Andrew's "parenting" had any impact on Ashley being the way that she is, it was the fact that he too was a child and had no idea how to be a parent, rather than actual malicious intent. We see in their childhood flashbacks that Andrew is generally well-intentioned towards Ashley and is trying to be a good older brother. The only instance where he acts deceptively towards Ashley during their childhood is the Blood Oath, where he words his promise carefully so as to allow himself to still have other people in his life.

@ I agree that Andrew hasn't INTENTIONALLY manipulated Ashley, but that's only because he's a hypocrite acting on impulse-Andrew is allergic to accountability, which has prevented him from taking any actions that could have helped Ashley grow. He doesn't do it on purpose mind you, but in pursuit of covering his own arse he's fully enabled Ashley's worst tendencies and allowed her to become the villain his victim complex needs.

There's also the Decay route you need to check out, which is the route that we will be getting before burial, and it should be noted that the incest should be taken seriously, given that it is hinted to happen in the Decay route as well.

Also this was one of the questions asked by the developer Q: Does Ashley and/or Andrew have [cluster B type personality disorder]? A: Shoehorning the characters into real-life diagnoses would only serve to diminish the narrative, and cause contradictions in the way their symptoms would or wouldn't manifest. Rather than seeing their behavior through the lens of this or that affliction, it's more fruitful to analyze the cause and effect of in-universe events. I kind of agree with the answer here because I feel like trying to diagnose the characters takes away from the complexity of the characters themselves.

the episode thats planned for the next release is the from the decay route, its the ending where you dont trust andrew and it has a very different ending than this one, also keep in mind to see all outcomes you have to save the bullets by choosing "shoot" without capitals when shooting the hitman at the first part of episode 2

there are item descriptions that are super intresting especialy in ashley dream thingy with the rabits before u get the ending zlso right before ending u use green plush to change the pictures and the sighns under them change from what was there before

Most things you missed in chronological order: Chapter 1 (minors elements mainly) : -You can watch Andrew chop the neighbor for a little dialogue where they laugh about the situation -In the cultist Appartement you can take money in the cultist pocket in the top left of the appartement and split it with Andrew an have a very short dialogue . -If you talk to Andrew after eating the Cultist (when he is cleaning the plates) you have a little dialogue . -In the appartement when Andy distract the guard when you are cleaning the cultist appartement you have a funny little dialogue if you talk to Andrew before cleaning . -In the end of the chapter when you escape you can interact with the rope to try go back into the appartement and have a little dialogue . Chaptor 2 : -the vending machine but you know this one -When you try to climb up trough the window of their parents house without the stick you have a sus dialogue between the two . -When you bury Nina you can talk to Ashley and see that she didn't care at all . -You can make Ashley stay at the house to go Burial route but i think you already know that . -if you cut the dad to get blood for the ritual the mom get angry . -(MAJOR ELEMENT)The gift in Ashley dream give access to a very good scene where you understand more in deep their "codepency". -(MAJOR ELEMENT) if Andrew stay at the house when Ashley go take the money you can take the "Olive Branch" and have a secret end -Choosing 'Never Say Never' after Ashley vision , would have given you a different scene on the bridge between Andrew and Ashley where you understand the reasons behind Ashley actions (she is not the incestuous one (We see you Andrew....) but she gonna do what she gonna do to keep Andrew close) . -(MAJOR ELEMENT)In Decay dream you have two end to the dream and you can't access one if you take the option "SHOOT!!!" with the hitman so be aware of that not to be softlocked and save before the dream to see the two (if you choose "SHOOT!!!" and still try to shoot there’s an small extra art but it's still end like the first choice) . tell me if i missed something guys but i think this is all , Oh and Also big news maybe we will have chapter 3 of Decay sooner if the community decide it !

@@Mrnoodlees4421 6:12 It's minor but i think there is a quick interaction if you interact with the parents as Ashley without the knife.

One out today at noon (MST) <3

Apparently, Ashley did say all that. Did you see the episode preview voicemails?

@@yourgonnamakeit1 Yes I did, but Andrew never actually listens to the voicemails in the video, so what Ashley actually said to Julia is fairly ambiguous.

@@roberts9095 I'm confused. I just watched the episode preview again. Julia literally had Andrew listen to the voicemails in her room, and it confirms that Andrew did hear those voicemails, so it's odd that you say that.

@@yourgonnamakeit1 Upon re-watching the video, you're right, I forgot that he actually did listen to them, my bad.

Well, if it isn't the man dandyDNA himself! I'm looking forward to your next video. 👍

I might go through the game again and get the stuff I missed! It might be a while though, probably something I'd do like, once the third episode is released :) but I'll keep it in mind! glad you're enjoying the playthrough <3

​@@HazmaticGames It might be a while before we get episode 3. It's kind of frustrating because I feel like that present that you missed should have been part of the main story to understand Andrew and Ashley as characters more, but it is what it is.

OMG HOW DID I NOT NOTICE THAT

@@HazmaticGames there was another sus thing with them 46:14 its almost the more in to the madness the more andrew just dont care anymore about whats "normal"

😬😬😬😬

@ these two are irredeemable

noooo 😭😭

@@HazmaticGames That's why it's always good to save so you can go back later 👍

​​​@@HazmaticGames Also, a heads-up for your next video: If the characters still have the '👁️' icon above their heads, that means there's more dialogue. For instance, if you had clicked on the window again before getting the stick, you would have got extra dialogue between Andrew and Ashley. There was also some dialogue if you went down to the basement and talked with the mother. Anyway, I hate to be that guy who says you missed a spot. ☝️🤓😅😂

oh also andrew has remorse at lests 3-4 times in game and ashley has SPOILER (kinda one depending on the ending)

@V.A.N.N.I i don't think Andrew has remorse others than the little girl , the most time he freaks out are because of the consequence of his actions and not because of the act

he's not as bad as ashley for now but he's clearly a sociopath in the making and will become much worse than ashley, even if the essential component of his transformation remains ashley and her lack of moral compass. moreover andrew clearly tries to hide his dark side behind a mask of sanity and normality but he's at least as rotten as ashley deep down.

​@V.A.N.N.I SPOILERS if you're referring to the decay route. I believe that's just Andrew still keeping his Andy mask on. Have you seen TCOAAL preview videos? And the one titled episode 2 Olive branches? There's a reason why people have discussions about Andrew's character.

​​SPOILERS Andrew: guys and girls don't go to the same prison! they're going to take you away from me! That dialogue alone says that Andrew already had a sus attachment towards Ashley.

haha, multi-choice games have scarred me for life. I definitely regret not getting it. Oh well.

Also to add most of your early choices don't affect anything except for one that ties to one of the ending routes, but I'll probably mention it until after you get done playing to see what choices you make.

Andrew is the most interesting character if you ask me He's also the one that's people have the most discussions about

@@yourgonnamakeit1 I find it funny that people think andrew is less crazy than ashley, I think in chapter 1 people don't notice because we see the story from ashley's point of view (who thinks her brother is fragile and sensitive) but he's sociopathic in the way he acts, like the scene where he kills the woman to cover his tracks, there's also the fact that he says she attacked him with the nail gun, which hasn't moved at all and which is two meters away from her.

​@@Mrnoodlees4421HAHAHA YOU WERE WRONG!!! YOU WERE SO WRONG!!! HAHAHA WHAT AN IDIOT WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT NOODLESS THIS IS MY PERFECT VICTORYY THATS RIGHT I WIN N

Yes I absolutely agree that Ashley sees Andrew as almost like a plaything. She's a great example of a sociopath! Thank you so much! ❤

​@@HazmaticGames Ashley seems to have a severe case of BPD. I believe Andrews might be the actual sociopath here.

@@HazmaticGames she is more a case of borderline personality (strong and unleashed emotions , fear of abandonment , unstable relationship ) , andrew is the true sociopath (no remorse , explosion of anger , cold-blooded killer ) .
