To be fair, when designing a game, you have to write the story such that the "dumbest" players can grasp it. At least, that's usually the goal, since you want everyone to be able to understand your story. Oftentimes, this REQUIRES plot to be spoon-fed. This is not exclusive to horror games at all. I think this game did a pretty good job of setting up the clues and foreshadowing the ending. It gave you plenty of time to speculate and come up with the answer yourself, but then told it to you at the end, just in case you hadn't. I'd suspected Eddie and Stephen were the same person from the first time they showed "Eddie [smeared]", but it wasn't until I found out his wife was HIDING it, that it all made sense as to why they were constantly referred to as different people.

As weezact said, the game gave you a ton of clues some made it pretty obvious imo like when they were swapping seats at the desk. Also, as he said, not all people are able to understand the plot or clues and will need the help or to be told just to understand what occurred.

This is how I felt about Prey and I think it's seeping into bigger games. It's something that you can't really get away with in books and movies because people get bored, but in a game, there's still gameplay to keep you hooked, only to be even more let down because you were invested in it through time AND effort.

He's so very smort!

I wouldn't mind giving him the clap, if you know what I mean. I should probably go to a doctor with that...

why not both?

i used to love thunderstorms 'till my house got hit by lightning which cut the power lol still love rain though, it's so relaxing

Oh yeah, power outages are definitely not as fun, so that's understandable. I used to like them as a kid though lol And same, rain is so nice!

what if the player piecing together the truth is the third personality?

See this is interesting, i imagine this... System, im assuming they have DID which is caused by trauma during youth, its entirely possible that a new alter appeared...

I think the player was meant to be the third, Abraham

I agree. Stephen mentions trying to merge his personalities. I think the final shot of the three of them falling into the pit was meant to represent Eddie, Stephen, and the third personality, the player, merging together as we finally regained the memories we had from our previous two personalities after being confronted with irrefutable evidence. I think Abraham was a real, distinct person, not a personality.

Nikola Wiche *are

can't blame someone for having a functional survival instinct i suppose XD

*Morse

Thanks spelling Nazi! I was actually wondering if I spelled that right or not, but I knew you would be around if not!

I only like to correct people when a learning experience is there. I'm not going to try to correct every your/you're or there/their/they're, but if I'm helping someone learn a word they don't know I'll inform them of the correct spelling. Some people appreciate the help, others not so much.

I appreciate your help, because I know how to spell the yours and theirs... but "morse" was something I didn't know! Thanks!

Here's an even better one: it's Morse code, capital M, because that's the last name of the guy that invented it. *The More You Know*

so obvious xD

But I'm a crazy dangerous killer, so it must be true.

3% of crimez are committed by those with mental health. Its the normals you gotta worry about lol. That stats probs outdated by now though.

Shush

The God Emperor of Mankind a way out

Yes, it can be. No, Teddy is not in "Edward". However, Teddy can be a shortened nickname for Edward.

Just like Chuck is short for Charles.

second iteration nickname. edward shortened to eddy eddy gets turned into teddy to imply endearment. same as richard gets shortened to rich and then rick to harden the c because ending in a ch sounds weird and eventually rick becomes dick with enough shenanigans.

I mean it's always aliens right?

You... clearly don't know what you're talking about? Teddy was the most common abbreviation for Edward for a long time and is still occasionally used now.

Same way Richard gets shortened to Dick. Dichard is not a name.

My middle name is Edward .... takes about 5-6 minutes before people get to Teddy, once they find out. It goes roughly like this "Edward? ... lol ... ooOOoohHHh Ed-ward (posh voice) ... aw'right Ed (common voice) .... hey Eddie ..... Yo Ted! .... s'up Teddy" Most people stop at Ted though, as this is the one that obviously annoys me ;D

Even if a game isn't interesting, Simon & Tom can always make it funny imo

DevilVocano - Tom and Simon make _ANY_ game playthrough worth watching.

Not going to lie, fairly Interesting plot.

The game is awful, but Simon and Tom are always top.

So did they

nikeeweston so did they?

fugy fruit it's obvious once you realise Stephendwrd is an acronym of Edwardstphen

I mean if you didnt guess it from the start after seeing the name of the game...
