I have not been this scared by an episode for a while. I think it's because I watched a lot of episodes on my tiny phone. Combine that with this hospital level, and I was on the edge of my seat. Shiro, though, deserves everything that's coming to him. He deserves this level.

Did not like that corpse jiggle. Nope. N O P E. Nope. In other news, I feel more concerned for the Onda sisters (since we are starting to see that Shibito's retain a fair amount of themselves, if Akira is anything to go by) now that they are incapacitated and alone with Shiro, than I am concerned for... most of the rest of the cast, jesus.

Yep, Shiro seems to be one creepy motherfucker, even before this whole undead thing even started then. Oh, and a belated congratulations to SGF for finally purging both NightCry and XBLIG forever,

In regards to the speculation about Kei, one of the things you did unlocked an objective for him on Day 3 right? I'm assuming the player doesn't eventually play as a shibito...

I'm apparently an idiot with the memory span of a shibito. Can someone explain to why is Shiro a bad guy?

And how is the hole he wakes up nearby with the bloody footsteps a sign contributing to him being evil (did he bury Mina in that hole?) ? I thought that he was the one that Miyako hit with a stick, but according to the synopsis in the first page, that was someone named Jun Kajiro (did we see that person again?) I think the only signs that Shiro is stupid and maybe evil(!) is his discussion with Kei about the ceremony (?)

Yes, what SGF implies, is that, for whatever reason, before all of this started, Shiro killed Mina and buried her body in that hole that we saw in Shiro's first stage. That's why he freaked out when he suddenly woke up and saw that the hole was empty.

He tracks down a nurse's shoe and recognizes it, seems bemused by it all. He strangles Risa and tells her "you even look alike in death". [insert a Deadly Premonition profiling montage here] Shiro killed Mina and was in the middle of burying her when poo poo went down and the dead rose. AbstractNapper posted:I thought that he was the one that Miyako hit with a stick, but according to the synopsis in the first page, that was someone named Jun Kajiro (did we see that person again?) e;fb  ALSO, in her letter to Risa (which Kyoya finds on the roof), Mina tells her "there's someone I'd like to introduce you to...", implying that her and Shiro were dating, or seeing each other or banging or something like that. Maybe both of them had a different view on how serious it was. Snoop Radley fucked around with this message at 11:53 on Nov 18, 2016 |

Wait. Shiro strangles Risa? I thought it was implied that her sister killed her and she already seemed to be a Shibito (albeit she does gets the bloody eyes while he tries to strangle her) and attacking him (well technically, not attacking but trying to hug him, but in a really creepy shibito-like way)... But yeah, the "even in death" comment is not making a good case for him AbstractNapper fucked around with this message at 12:15 on Nov 18, 2016 |

Plus the vision Mina shares with Risa shows a guy in white reaching scarily towards the camera. The "even in death" line also doesn't make much sense otherwise, considering when we first met Mina she was already all tentacle-faced.

I may be wrong but I had thought after watching that Risa wasn't fully transformed until she was strangled. Her eyes were black, strangling happened, tears of blood, and then she started to laugh like shibito do. Edit: Spoilers are for those that haven't watched the video yet

The entire scene with the coffin could have been ripped wholesale out of a Silent Hill game. Creepy camera angle, unsettling dialogue, doing things that don't make any sense while the character is completely nonplussed by the whole situation, and the loving corpse wiggle is the cherry on top.

maybe this is foreshadowing that to defeat the shibito you just need to tie every single one up really, really tight and then lay them down so they can't hop after you.

We've certainly never met a shibito who still shows big wounds or anything lethally embedded in their body. We pretty much only bludgeon or shoot, that I can think of. No stabbing/impaling/chopping off bits. Could be that they might heal around something like a knife and pull it out or could be that if you kept it in there it would prevent the damage from healing and the shibito from recovering.

It's kinda looking like no one is going to survive this game, or that they are all awful people who are already dead and in some sort of hell dimension.

The more I think about this, the more I feel like the dev team had played Silent Hill and wanted to make a game like it. You've got the remote town, everything is dark and foreboding, everyone you encounter is threatening, town seems to have been move away from where it used to be, etc. Need to get Kamoc and Voidburger in here to determine whether Hanuda is an example of Silent Hill manifesting in Japan.

But it does bear mentioning this is a fantastic glimpse at American Small Town Horror and Japanese Small Town Horror. The side by side comparisons and contrasts are fun to think about.

I always assumed Risa begun to turn because Mina had turned, not because she got killed by her. They've clearly got some kind of a psychic twin link going on, after all. Shiro just sealed the deal because if you're in the process of turning, death shoves you over the edge for good. (I don't think we need to spoiler things from the latest video this far into the thread, it's mostly a problem if the posts right after the update blurt out something because they're displayed on the screen at the same time) The psychic twin link is probably also why shibito Risa is fixated on Shiro the same way Mina is.

POOL IS CLOSED posted:Naoko, the TV host, is actually from Hanuda. It seems like the red waters have healing powers, but I'm willing to bet that overexposure (or maybe just exposure, period) is somehow linked to the shibito transformation She actually isn't. She just was featured in a few magazines that found their way up here.

It's really too bad this game keeps throwing gamey objectives at you; the atmosphere is really good until you start doing nonsense for no reason, and then it loses all of that atmosphere almost immediately.

A lot of the second objectives would have been fine if they were optional, but my understanding is they are pretty much all required, and some are just plain dumb.
