Hey everyone!
As you all know the game is officially out in a few days on May 12th, and Corinth couldn’t wait to get some of you copies it seems! For those of you who may receive a copy early, we would like to ask that you don’t spoil the game for the rest of the community before the official date. We also don’t want your experience ruined either, so to ensure the best playing experience we would recommend you also wait until release day.
See you in the stars - on May 12th!

The worst thing about every game?

*Man of Medan has so many issues it’s hard to pick just one

*In Little Hope, I think Andrew is a terrible protagonist—he's just so bland.

• House of Ashes is so good, it’s really hard to find a flaw.

*The Devil in Me has terrible optimization; it's a game that feels unpolished.

When do you guys think it’ll finally go on deeper sale? I can’t remember how long it took for the other games to finally go on sale.

Spoiler-free review; ‘Unspoken’… because you have to survive Until she Speaks 😶‍🌫️🏚💀 Spoiler

14 Upvotes

Length; 1 and a 1/2 to 2hrs.

QTEs; No

Motion/Phone Controls; Yes

Collectables; Yes

Death; Yes

Synopsis; England, Friday the 13th November 1987. New owners of 1600s pub The Red Lion, the Cooper family, hope to renovate it with KD Cooper Construction and live a happy life there… but fate follows you anywhere.

Cast; Emma McDonald (Moonhaven, The Serpent Queen), Joseph Millson (Sarah Jane Adventures, Peak Practice), Dakota Juegen (selective mutism like young Erin from TDIM), Georgia Arron, Olivia Vinall, Stewart Scudamore. Staff; Nik Bowen, Alex Farnham, Vicky Wheeler, Dan Dawes, Ian Livingstone, Liam Grice, Steve Goss, Will Byles.

Opening Theme; Requiem For Lovers by James Davies

Graphics and horror; 8/10

Plot and replayability; 7/10

Gameplay and setting; 6.5/10

Voice acting and characters; 7.5/10

Verdict; 7.5/10- Supermassive’s latest haunting instalment is a must-see, a surprisingly sincere and solid game held back solely by its disappointingly limited runtime. It nevertheless acts as a great teaser for the future of these games- Intercession and Craven Man/Winterfold, take notes!

(Bonus overall games ranking; 10th out of 15, ahead of Shattered State, Bravo Team, Switchback, Rush Of Blood and just behind The Inpatient)

Help! Looking for FANGORIA #286 (2009) — How can I access the digital archive?

Thumbnail
0 Upvotes

Hi everyone!
I’m a huge fan of Jennifer’s Body (2009), and I’ve been desperately searching for FANGORIA issue #286 (September 2009), featuring Megan Fox.
I discovered that FANGORIA has a digital archive of its classic issues, but I can’t figure out how to purchase access to it. I’ve checked their official website and BackerKit, but I’m still confused about whether the archive is available to new customers.
Does anyone here have access to the archive or know how I can purchase a digital copy of this particular issue?
I’d be more than happy to pay for it! I’m also interested in buying a physical copy if anyone knows where to find one.
Any help would mean a lot to me. Thank you so much! ❤️

Directive 8020 After all this waiting, a Friend's Pass is the least they could give us

Post image
75 Upvotes

I feel like Supermassive has been moving away from a lot of the things that made the previous Dark Pictures games so special. I'll miss Shared Story, Curator's Cut, the choice compass, and even those little personality traits in the character menu. They might seem like small things, but they were part of what gave these games their charm.

And honestly, with how long they've made us wait for Directive 8020's online mode, I was actually hoping they'd reconsidered bringing Shared Story back, especially after all the backlash. I know they already said it would be online couch co-op, but part of me still had hope. Although, if they were bringing back something fans love that much, they probably would've hyped it up a lot more.

Now that we finally have a release date, I really think the least they could do is give us a Friend's Pass, like they did with the previous games. Online couch co-op is already going to disappoint a lot of people who wanted Shared Story, and having to buy two copies just to take turns playing online doesn't exactly make it more appealing.

A Friend's Pass wouldn't fix the disappointment, but at least it could get more people interested in giving the mode a chance.

What do you guys think?

Directive 8020 Could have an extended version of the game. Spoiler

2 Upvotes

There's some story left out that could improve the game, as it is it occasionally feels surface level. Explanations for scenes such as how the Simms copy was the first created from little alien goo? What resources does the corporation need or demonstrate why the alien is valuable?

Could also have more connections in-between the different clone cycle teams dependent on two playthroughs.

Im actually kind of tired of complaints about shared story

I get that i never care about shared story because I don't use it but oh ny god it is CONSTANT. You cant talk about Directive8020 without someone saying "yeah but it has no shared story!" WE FUCKING GET IT.

Im just sick of seeing it all the time.

After receiving the fewest number of votes, Nick (The Quarry) has been eliminated, taking 13th overall. Fun fact! Endlessly whining about a character's continued inclusion will probably just cause someone with no strong opinions to vote for that character just to spite you. You did it to yourselves.

We have now (roughly) reached the top quarter of characters! It also means that House of Ashes and The Quarry each account for 25% of the remaining characters.

Directive 8020 Too bad Directive 8020 doesn't change how the characters look after death or injury in the characters menu, would have look sick

For example pausing right after Charlie (tdim) gets his head sliced off would change him in the pause menu (I could not find an image of what I'm talking about whatsoever;-;)

Little Hope i don’t understand little hope

7 Upvotes

Hi !! I played little hope about 2 years ago and am now watching my boyfriend play, which made me realise i don’t really understand the story.
I obviously get the general gist with the plot twist and everything but the 3 different storylines confuses me. Was the reverend guy abusing mary/megan?? iykwim??? since he said she should respect him and keep the secret.
and what else is going on with the whole witch trials thing and why did megan set the house alight? was it actually on purpose or?
can someone explain in super simple terms because i tried reading an explanation posted on here and it just confused me more 🥲 thanks !!
