@@loveloveaii the human mind is a very strange thing. Our memories are the freshest as soon as a traumatic event is over and our brains often cope with trauma by blocking it out of our memory completely or creating fake memories. It’s best to question victims as soon as its possible because you need the most accurate information on the event.

[@LordofFullmetal]

@@loveloveaii Because your brain is incredibly unreliable. Within a couple days it will have forgotten half the important details, and then when you're asked to explain those details it will literally make stuff up so that you have answers to provide. False memories are ridiculously common in testimonies. Not to mention the memory-blocking effect that trauma often has. There's a reason scientists always say human testimony is the weakest form of evidence. Humans are not a reliable source of information; and the further in the past an event happened, the LESS reliable they become.

It's taken me six years to realize that Josh's plan doesn't really affect those arguably most at fault for what happened to Hannah and Beth. He sends Mike and Jess to the guest cabin at the beginning and they're both in the wendigo plot from then on, even though they don't know it, and aren't ever directly affected by Josh. The same can be said for Emily (and Matt by proxy) when she and Matt leave the cabin for her luggage. He specifically is taking his anger out on Chris, Ashley, and Sam. Which, can be considered to make sense if you think about the fact that he probably felt most betrayed by Chris and Sam since he was the closest to them, and Ashley got caught in the crossfire as an easy way to hurt Chris.

I like that the game doesn’t spoon feed the player some of the horror. Like it’s up to you when you figure out that Dr. Hill’s sessions are influencing things/changing with the story because they aren’t real. And how Beth’s body was missing because Hannah ate it for survival but she kept Beth’s head safe because she wanted to maintain some of her sister’s dignity/have something to bury (she might have been keeping it safe from the other windigos too for the same reasons). I wonder if she didn’t rebury her head was out of loneliness or guilt. And Han-igo was the one who saved Josh’s life before the game started (he should have been eaten while he was setting up all his Saw traps) by trapping all the other windigos in cells in the asylum (that area Mike had to walk through). So she remembers A LOT, she’s just… hungry.

[@froggy5748]

She also avoids killing the guy who was her crush (I forget if it was Matt or mike tbh) and has an opportunity to directly kill every other character depending on the player’s actions. The most brutal ways she kills people are usually the ones she feels wronged her the most in the situation that caused her sister’s death and her turning into a wendigo. It’s very interesting tbh.

[@marcobott7243]

She also spitefully tosses Jess' phone throw the window with music playing. Nobody ever seems to point that out--music was not playing on her phone before, but it was when it landed in the house; Hannah's brain is in-tact enough to be able to hold a grudge, recognize and remember how to use complex technology like smart phones, and had enough of her personality in-tact to do something as sassy as that to ruin Jess and Mike's moment.

I like the consistency that even as a Wendigo, Hannah never has any scenes where she directly kills Mike (the closest thing is in the final segment if Sam doesn’t distract Hannah, Mike accidentally moves and then she picks him up and chucks him at one of the wooden pillars, and he falls unconscious to die in the fire). I say this because every other character has a potential death to be maimed or decapitated by Hannah. Jess is the earliest potential death (where Hannah rips apart her lower jaw, if Mike doesn’t get to her in time), then Matt (his jugular planted on a metal hook if he doesn’t have the flare gun and chooses to rescue Emily), Emily (eyes stabbed by Hannah’s nails, when she fails to lock the deadbolt at the quarry), Chris (decapitated during the shooting segment outside the lodge), Ashley (investigating the trap door when she’s separated from the others), Josh (in the water of the mines if you don’t discover Hannah’s journel), and Sam in the final segment (stabbed in the stomach). But Mike’s only guaranteed death is if Sam flips the switch in the lodge too early and he and the others all burn up. I don’t know if it’s ever stated otherwise, but to me that seems to suggest that some remnant of the host of the Wendigo remains intact, as well as their feelings to other people. Hannah even in that form, might still have a score to settle with all the others, but perhaps her desire to be with Mike still persists. Just something I’ve thought about every time I re-watch let’s plays of this game.

He played it off alright and I understand he did it for entertainment value, but it's naive to think he didn't have prior knowledge. The game has been out for over 6 years.

He wasn't playing blind. He's seen the Scary Game Squad play and even commented on their video

Emily is absolutely the zombie apocalypse survivor who tries to hide that she got bitten already

[@nathanjereb9944]

Most likely

[@wolfidessdragondol]

Well no because it wasn't a zombie so she may have had a different reaction

[@pathetic2399]

She had no reason to think the Wendigo bite was that big of a deal so why would she tell them about it.

[@archsteel7]

You have genuinely incredible instincts for this game. You got past every single douchey "We kill a character for free" bits.

[@theonegoldengryphon]

Saving Matt on a first-time playthrough is HARD. Saving everyone on a first time playthrough is straight up amazing!

[@CosmicToad5000]

the ending of this game is hilarious if Jess is the sole survivor because she just has no fucking clue what happened to anyone and barely even registers the existence of the Wendigos. Good job on this one RT, for some reason i always expect the worst when you play choice based games but you actually have a good head on your shoulders. Matt in particular is one person most people just can't seem to keep alive because they make him try to rescue Emily.

[@eaglefan2569]

Jess just "bro what happened everyone's dead tf-" if she's solo survivor. And yeah for whatever reason Matt gets cucked super hard. You get barely any options to play as him and the few you do get are very ride or die. There's so few options to keep him alive and they're a tad innocuous.

[@CosmicToad5000]

@@eaglefan2569 the stupidest part imo is Matt wastes the flare gun if he agrees to go to the radio tower with Emily, whereas if he's reluctant he'll save it and that seemingly pointless choice (because you go to the radio tower either way) determines if he's able to escape the Wendigo if he tries to save Emily.

[@NidorinoAlliance]

I love how every character ends up feeling pretty well realised by the end. Emily ends up being one of my favourites, after she was such a bitch at the beginning. And Jess just ends up so broken. And then there’s Matt.

how did RT naturally avoid nearly every single moment of "you fucked up so now a character dies" even the gun bit, if he'd pointed it at ashley chris woulda died, somehow he didnt, if he didnt pick josh to saw then she would have died, round and round just avoiding it its impressive haha

Sam's the real MVP, she was so brave and kept it together pretty well, she also didn't get in pointless fights and tried to make everyone get along. She was definitely my favourite character, she seems like a fun person to hang out with. And she's so pretty! I was nervous at the end but I'm glad RT managed to keep her alive!😅

[@professorbaxtercarelessdre1075]

she's always been my fav character, i never even like Hayden that much before this but her acting here made me reconsider my thoughts

[@Aeiouaaaaaaaaa]

Bit late but Sam is one of the hardest characters to kill in the game, along with Mike. I think both of them are guaranteed to stay alive until the escape from the cabin at the very end. Which I won’t complain about given that Sam was also my favourite. Coincidentally, Matt and Emily, the only two POC in the game who also have the least screen time, are the easiest to kill, with multiple opportunities for things to go wrong. Totally normal, nothing to unpack there

[@sage5871]

​@@Aeiouaaaaaaaaa I've always thought Matt in particular has ridiculous requirements to survive. If you don't give him the flare gun, and if he uses it immediately, you don't even have a quick time event or anything, he's just instantly dead. Very lame considering all the other characters essentially get a gauntlet if you choose wrong to still give you a chance. Edit: This is of course if you decide to be a good person and try to help Emily. Which the game decidedly punishes you for. Abandoning her skips the flare gun stuff, lol.

[@mipha8795]

I love how, usually, Dan is a casual murder while chat plays his conscience. When it comes to Emily though it's completely reversed lmao. At least in the beginning.

I've only ever watched Snapcube's dub of this, and it feels so weird to hear actual logical sentences come out of the character's mouths. I'm so conditioned to laugh at them it's bizarre to see them in genuine despair. It's like having a clown at your birthday party and seeing him get drunk and puke in your garden after it ends.
