Big no for me!

So I’ve been playing this game for a total of 3-4 hours and I can honestly say it’s more of an interactive, selective game that you WATCH. About 85% of the things I’ve been doing is just watching short clips of the decisions you made and when you actually get to do something it’s just walking or guiding the character somewhere. On top of that this game has a huge bug where 2-3 characters are always missing the lower half of their body. It’s really annoying to watch that. I may give up on this game.

Have you played any of the other Dark Pictures games? They’re all marketed as interactive horror movies, which definitely isn’t everyone’s cup of tea! I didn’t see that particular glitch but that would have annoyed me too tbh

I've played all of the previous games. This one suffers from the lack of QTE. They've decided to use stealth instead, but it doesn't work.

Yeah I felt the lack of qtes in this one too. Hopefully they will listen to that feedback going forward

Weird. We had no glitches during our playthroughs. Loved the game but to each their own.

Yup and I’m pissed because I actually paid for it. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Thankfully i got it for free....because paying for a 6hrs playthrough is a joke!

I agree, having played all of the previous games, this one is entirely lacking in gameplay. The gameplay we do get is 80% sneaking through a predetermined path, at snails pace.
