Holy crap this is a good game.

I’m not usually fan of either these “choose your own adventure” type graphic novel games or of horror games, but holy shit. Fair warning, it is a horror game with lots of horror, but in my opinion you should check this thing out.

    This post made me finally start this game up. I bought it a long time ago but didn’t play it.

    I played maybe an hour and so far it is fantastic. Can’t wait to play more.

    I bought this game on a whim after reading that the devs had said they’d rather people pirate it than have it spoiled for them. I don’t usually buy games full price, so this was a rare thing for me, but I have no regrets; it was one of my favourite games of that year.

    I just love how ripe for thematic analysis it is. For example, I’m a woman who has read a bunch of feminist and queer theory, and some of my interpretations of the themes were drastically different to a friend’s. I found it really cool that I didn’t necessarily disagree with their takes, nor they mine, but we both resonated with the game is strong but different ways

    I’m confused, what dlc? This is a year old trailer for the pristine cut which was a free update.

        IDK what is the panic about the distinction between a game update and a game DLC. I posted it because I played it and it was awesome and I wanted to let people know. In any case, I edited the title to say “update,” hope you’re okay with that phrasing.

          Personally, I was a bit confused if maybe a new expansion was announced (be it DLC or update). I didn’t really read the title thoroughly, sorry.

          I’ve only played Scarlet Hollow and I liked it a lot. Glad to hear their other game is good as well.

      What in your mind is the difference between a free update, which you can download, that adds some content, and free DLC?

        Updates are usually automatic (at least in the modern days with Steam), and DLCs are optional.

        DLCs are also usually a paid affair, unless they’re explicitly referred to as “free DLC”. Not sure if you worded it that way or not, came to this post after you edited the title.

          Updates are usually automatic (at least in the modern days with Steam), and DLCs are optional.

          Okay so by that definition, this one is a free DLC. Glad we got that cleared up lol, that was why I described it as a DLC.

          I don’t think of DLC as having an explicit connotation of either free or paid, it can be either. Whatever. I’ve now edited the title again to what I should have titled it in the first place. Hopefully everyone can put this to bed and move on to some other equally urgent internet disputes now.

    Oh! I’ve been putting it off because I wanted to play it along with a friend to watch but now I have an actual good reason to wait. It just seems so good!

      It is excellent. It is brilliant. Everyone’s different, surely there are people who won’t like it, but for me it was top notch.
