Well my PC install is all borked. It won't finish syncing saves with the internet for some reason. Going to tell it to reinstall and then carry on playing on Series X.
Im stuck :( Can anyone tell me what to do.
After powering the generator in Thomas the managers room?
Look inside the cabinet at the picture and use your Insight (LB), you'll find a switch to the passage.
Yea. It's not the best.
I'm really liking this so far. Probably gonna buy it to own on my next pay.
Played about two hours, and honestly, I feel like the dual world mechanic is kind of... uninteresting. Not to armchair design or anything, but I feel like if I were in total control to be able hop between both worlds at will, things would've been a lot more interesting mechanically and narratively.
That said, I'm still enjoying my time, though. Its been ages since I've played a proper Silent Hill and this game is hitting all of the right notes.

I'm not that far yet so I stopped reading your spoiler after the name drop, lol.
I hope they manage to iron out these technical issues, it's a pretty good game so far. Enjoying this a lot more than Call of the Sea.
Played up until the part where you meet the little girl. The game is really nice looking visually. Love the atmosphere and the music is great so far. I'm honestly not finding it particularly creepy yet, but it's early. Curious to see how the dual world mechanic evolves too.
playing on PC with a 3080 desktop:
The environments look next-gen and the lighting is impressive, though they don't look as good as the other Next-gen only game I've played in Demon's Souls. That being said, the animations are rough and the performance is terrible even without considering the dual world gameplay. Get micro-stuttering, and during one cutscene it dropped from 90 fps to 65 fps and back constantly, and was just a mess. I guess that's the framepacing issue DF was talking about.

I feel like I'm being stupid.
How the hell do you get into the resort at the beginning?[\spoiler]
Played a few hours, got to the hotel managers office and
Cool game so far, the setting and story have me intrigued, even if it is just a Bloober walking sim with fixed camera angles. I will say the dual reality thing is pretty cool too, but thus far none of the puzzles have really necessitated the use of the split screen, although I assume that may change further on. Soundtrack is aces too, I don't know if Yamaoka did the whole thing are just parts of it but it's great.
Encountered the monster for the first time. What a cool and creepy design, very Guillermo del Toro-esque. Sounds like Troy Baker voicing it as well, dude knows how to turn up the creep factor for sure. Shame the stealth section that follows is so rudimentary.

Go left of the office outside...where the broken window is.
The panned out camera in the opening areas is a great way of adding larger scope to some scenes, big change from the claustrophobia of Observer. Unfortunately the dual screen mode is also a half framerate mode and I'm over here playing at a super cinematic 24fps.
I found that and then she says she can't reach it. There's a dumpster behind a door, but I can't find a handle.
Oh sorry, completely confused where you are in the game. Correctly answered above.
Thanks. I ran by that thing like 10 times and never noticed.
Folks using the spoiler tag, could you please give more details about what you're discussing? I'm playing but I never know if I'm far enough to click on the spoiler, haha!
Playing this game with m/kb is kinda lame. The controls are meh.
Made it to the entrance of the hotel. The story seems okay so far, though to be fair I'm barely in the beginning.
I need to get a bigger SSD so I can install this on it. The stuttering when going between worlds is annoying.

This was great. Got through it in about 8-9 hours. Intriguing from start to finish. A few framerate hiccups, but nothing that wouldn't be fixed quickly or worth negatively scoring on.
Glad most people are enjoying this so far! I've got my hands full with a few other games but will likely jump in after a patch or two.
Just jumping to the end of the thread. Anybody getting slight frame jutters / drops when going into cutscenes?
Loving the game so far,after about 90 minutes...its a slow start but still,the atmosphere is great,it looks pretty damn good on the SX,the creepy/moody sounds and score is awesome as well,cant wait to keep playing tomorrow.
I'm really enjoying this game. Devs did a pretty good job, they're certainly getting better with each new game.
Seems like they're fans of Death Stranding.

Player for an hour so far, got to Niwa. This game is very cool so far.
That first split screen was such a feel.

My PC is holding up surprisingly well right now. Mostly in the 40-50 fps range with sudden jumps as high as 110 when inspecting items and drops as low as 15 in intensive dual reality sequences.
It's obviously not ideal to be sub-60 on a PC in 2020, but I legitimately thought my 1060 and i7-4770k would struggle to get 30fps most of the time. I'm pretty proud of my little build that could right now.
Performance aside, I'm digging the game so far. That jump scare got me good with my headphones on. Y'all know the one if you've played far enough.

This is one of those games where I look at some of the review outlets that gave a 3/10 and can't help but think "what the fuck game were you playing?"
I'm about 4-5 hours in and it's a legit 9/10 for me so far. Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice level quality in the AA space.

I am having such a difficult time getting into this. It is just so damn boring, and it's not only that the pacing is sluggish, but that there is just no tension. The dual world mechanic is so uninteresting and feels so underutilized, and the atmosphere they're going for just isn't working for me at all. There's no horror, just Marianne sulking around places, going "huh? What's this?"
Kelly Burke is fantastic as Marianne but everyone else that I've encountered so far is hamming it up, and it really undercuts the emotional tone they're going for.
I'm going to try and finish it as it's apparently fairly short, but I'm not really enjoying myself. Another mediocre title from Bloober, so far.

It's funny that a bunch of folks are talking about the same scare, which makes me wonder how far in are those that say they haven't experienced it. You can't miss it. Or you weren't fully paying attention to the game at the time lol
I dont get app the praise the graphics are getting. Playing on a series X, and besides resolution quality and HDR this could easily be a late gen ps3 game. Marriane looks so divorced from the background, like she floats over the ground. Especially noticeable going down stairs. I won't even start on her character model.
Also texture pop in galore.
Hopefully the story is enough to draw me in, but after 2 hours I'm still feeling a bit meh...

Haven't played too much but so far it's way better than I expected it was going to be... like way better. Not sure where the story is going but the atmosphere is there, I love the look of it. They for sure know what they're doing with forced perspective and I'm just happy to be playing another one of these games.
The music is of course fantastic as well.
It's for sure my type of shit.

I'm with the little girl, looking for Thomas right now. I assume the first jumpscare everyone is talking about is not far away, could you tell me where and what it is (in spoilers)?
It's the art, almost every screen could be a wallpaper. They really outdid themselves with designing each room. Tech wise, it's definitely spotty. So far I think this wouldve fit better at $30 given the quality.
you look through a door in the spirit world and see a bathtub with blood. It's draining and out if nowhere a "thing" pops up in the eye hole with this demonic growl. The main character jumps back, the door swings open, blood continues to drain in the tub revealing a knife that you need to cut the door blocking flesh
This game is putting my RTX 3090 to WORK. The animation is pretty janky, there are some weird frame rate issues, but mostly it's a nice looking game. I'm running it in HDR and have no idea if it's all out of whack or not because I have nothing to compare it to.
And yeah if it was running at 30 FPS like it does on the Series X I probably wouldn't be too impressed by it.

Same here.
HDR is broken on PC, yeah. You should definitely disable it.
Solution
The recording says they put him across from Boris. Go back to the paper and you'll be able to click Boris's name. Find his chair then the chair across. Go back to the paper and you'll be able to get the name.

Is sneaking broken? Every time I click in the left stick, Marianne crouches, but moving the stick at all makes her stand right up.
