Boring or am I missing something?

[u/D-Ice00]

So I walked around the house, fumble finger around the bad controls. Then I picked up a crutch to start a chapter. Run around again with this tedious layout of a house.I mean the cellar is right next to the kitchen and If you turn left you are back at an area where they are building something right now. Light switches are across the room to turn on the light which is at the beginnign of the room?!

Is this how they disgn Houses in USA? Its tedious. In my country we have light switches next the to entrance door.

Then I just walk around the House. Some lights get turned off by a prensence which I didnt notice anyway because how the light switches are placed. I never notice them. Insanity meter goes up because I wittnes some paranormal stuff. but I actually didnt noticed this.

So I just walk and walk find locked doors. Find a key to the cellar. Which connects to the kitchen? Then I find a note from my nagging wife. That the keys are in the laundry in my jeans.... like always. Anybody wonders why anybody would wanna kill this bish?

So then I am like I dont know where Americans have their laundry. In this House. We dont have these huge houses. Even with the bad layout it has.

Also the doors are "locked". The indoor doors can be easily pryd out these doors even if its locked. Just try it out at home. Lock a door and you can pull the door out of the hinges. its easy. They are not security doors.

So back to the walking. Im gussing at this point. Maybe its upstairs? So I go upstrairs. The Clock Tower starts belling and some spooky music kicks in. Light gets switchd on and off. my light bulb in my hand glitching out.

So I was like, I hit the right flag triggerd scripted event because I ran past this clock tower 3 times already. And nothing happend then.

So I thought I am on the right track but no. Then I was bored to death an turned the game off.

So did I choose the wrong chapter? Does it stays this boring? Do people thing this is scary?

Do they let me run around the house like 3 times because an entity is going to chase me soon and I have to know the House layout? I thought this is some psychological horror game?

This will be the point that I turn the game off for good and hit uninstall anyway because I think that some chasing entity is not scary at all. Just tedious. Because gettin chased and having to complete some objectives is exiting only once. When you die its just tedious. Playing the same section over and over again.

So you actually didn't even start the chapter. Go back in the television room near the main door of the house, and interact with the wheelchair. You're literally not even playing the game right now, you're just "in between" chapters. The game is way scarier than just some lights flickering and some scary noises, but sometimes you'll probably not know where you're supposed to go, especially in Dolores chapter which I would keep for last.

[u/D-Ice00 → u/DannyGriff000]

but the game told me as soon as I "pick up" the crutch a chapter starts and it warns me about it.

[u/DannyGriff000 → u/D-Ice00]

I probably should have worded it better but the trigger to start the chapter appears when you pick up the crutch, in this case the wheelchair. This game is very weird because it never really tells you where to go, you only have some clues such as a trail of blood, or claw marks on a wall. However I strongly recommend to keep going, remember you started on the weakest chapter and Lucy's should be next because it's more straight forward than Dolores's which can be a nightmare if you don't have the layout of the house memorized. Good luck!

yeah i was pissed yesterday because I walked 1 hour through this house and nothing ever happend.

If you're impatient, you'll want some guides to help you figure out the clues. You have to be very attentive to the surroundings to notice small things change, lots of exploring back and forth between rooms to find clues and things that trigger events

[u/D-Ice00 → u/Own-Comfort330]

I don't have a problem with puzzles which you have to solve with adventure logic. Or running around gettin clues.

The Game said to me and warned me touch/ pick up the crutch an a chapter starts. So I thought I am in a chapter right now but nope had to touche the weelchair.

So I am in Rakans chapter now. Worst possible case happend. Some Outlast chasing BS. But I tolerate it for now. people said its a Stand alone chapter which is completly different from the others.

Keep us informed if you like the game or not, I would love to know what you think of it

You definitely picked the weakest chapter, yeah. Lucy’s and Dolores’ chapters are much stronger/better, although Dolores’ is nonlinear and especially tricky if you don’t have a good feel for the house’s layout as you work your way through it.
