Sadly, a mix-up with the moterbike at the end meant poor Ethan had to die at the ending of that play-through. ;_;

At least the killer got what was coming to him, but man ETHAANNNNN!!!

Gem's on a mission now for him to LIVE all the way into the ending credits

NO SCOTT :< HOW COULD YOU. YOU USED TO BE COOL MAN. COOL.
I DID NOT SEE THAT COMING!

I had a happy ending - I think... (I do wonder about Normans end scene though :/)... but all my characters survived! Well except Scott. Despite the epic fight I did have Norman try to save him but then he tried to drag Norman down with him. Man was that scene intense!!

The thing I regret most in my decisions is the shark trial, "I'm a father too." BANG. ;-;
That scene is gonna stick with me. I felt so bad, but I was under the impression the killer might be watching so if I didn't get Ethan to kill him, Shaun would be as good as dead. :/

The Shark; killing another guy to save your son? Did you kill him? I spent like 10 minutes trying to decide >_>;
Did you do all the tasks?

The killer never changes.
While that does open up a different way of playing the game (playing knowing that Scott is the killer and therefore playing to make sure he gets away with the whole thing) Given the lots of different endings, it would have been nice to have it so the killer can change each gameplay... and... ok that is my only real complaint.
I didn't mind the whole slow pacing of doing normal everyday life stuff in the prologue, I thought it helped build the atmosphere and make you feel more like the characters you played. So yeah

I got a happy ending. But surprisingly did not get the Four Heroes trophy. I suspect it was because Ethan got released from prison (I felt really bad for screwing up his escape from the motel and therefore getting put in prison for the rest of the game) and as a result did not make it to the final chapter. But in any case, Madison got her ending where she became famous for writing the book about the killings and Jayden got over his drug problem but ARI still messes with his mind while Scott ended up dead with Lauren cursing his name at his grave.

As for the Shark trial, I didn't kill the dealer. But I did complete every other trial. However I knew from my flatmate's playthrough that you could choose to not kill him and still save Shaun and in an attempt to get a better ending I more or less guessed that you could probably still save Shaun without completing any trial as long as you figured out where the final location was. That said, I was really tempted to pull the trigger. But didn't have it in me in the end. The whole part about him being in his kid's room and the prospect of having the kid come home to their Dad dead in the middle of their bedroom really got to me so I couldn't do it, even though seconds before that I would have loved to after he blasting a big gaping hole in my body.

throughout the game you have so many different suspects! That was another thing I loved about the game. Wondering who it was, and if it could really be Ethan (though I couldn't see him doing it even if it was during blackouts...)

When the police come to the hotel, I made Ethan jump, in the hopes Madison might be near by to help me LOL.
I got the four heros trophy, and I got the same as you for Normans ending... though I wonder if theres a happier one without the virtual tanks.

He didn't save Lauren from the sinking car.
He didn't kill the dealer either, but managed to figure out where Shaun was without the clue. But because he didn't guess the password in time Madison didn't find where Shaun lived, and Ethan ended up getting shot. ;-;
Norman, well lol. First he died due to too much ARI, but my brother reloaded, considering he had got what he wanted and was just biding time. He then decided to accuse Blake of being the killer for the LOL (Blake is such an warped bat-fowling horn-beast), but it autosaved before he could reload.
So he carried on, and got one of the worst endings - Shaun crying over his fathers grave ;-;, Madison imagining shes being attacked, and Norman giving over his badge and ARI - which is possibly a better ending for him? o_O
and Scott ran free.

I actually don't mind the lack of changing Origami killer. It would have required a HUGE addition to the gameplay which is already pretty beefed up heavy with other story changes.

My only REAL gripe with the story is the Voice acting. Some is very good (Ethan, Scott, Madison (who's a model, not an actress) and then the fact that they're all Europeans and had to try and hide their accents.

The girl who is with Scott most of the time, however, gets on my nerves with her acting and don't even get me STARTED on the kids. JASON! XO

For the Shark trial, we had a big debate on kill or not kill, but ended up not doing so. I think you only have to solve about 3 of the trials to still be able to find shawn (but you get more trophies if you do all of them)

Anyone manage to get the Kamikaze trophy? That's one HECK of a hard task just for a bronze trophy!

And Madison is a character I LOVE! Strong female lead but she isn't buffed or bad@ss. Girl just has the courage to help Ethan and...it's love!

Try getting to the final scene where it's her Vs the killer rather than Jayden. I respect her even more after that!

Jayden died in the fight against Mad Jack, Madison died via chainsaw. Without anyones help Ethan went to jail and hung himself. Shaun drowned. Scott was about to walk free when Lauren came and killed him. ;-;

believe the origami killer was? Did you ever see the real one (Scotty) coming??

I knew there would be more to this taxidermist, but didn't think it would go that far!
I'm in the room with the stuffed people. WTF.
I bet as soon as I get into the hallway or make my way out he'll come. Oh where oh where is the 'break nearest window and jump out' option >>'
I don't want to play anymore, its too scary...

took me AGES to pick up on who the killer was. I can't remember when the wheels clicked over and I put two and two together, but I'm not always the best at crime solving. XD

Judging by the response on forums, quite a lot of people did, or didn't till it was said. I didn't realize till the kid said "scotty' and then I was like "...wait...WHAT?!"

I snuck out the garage way when he went to the toilet ahahah. He looked upstairs for me but never saw me. The newspaper said the police arrested him.

its fair to say his game was far more intense then mine lmao.
He broke the bird, and then was like oh bugger it, left all the cupboards open. When the guy arrived, he ran across the floorbirds not thinking of going slowly.
It made for quite a lot of action scenes before he grabbed the key and went out the front door. Then the bike wouldn't start for ages and just left as he was about to grab her lol. Then he went inside and shot himself oO'

she hid under the bed, but he caught her as she was leaving and it ended in a lot of running around and finally an Indiana Jones-like tribute to her going under the door and over to her bike. He shot himself after that too.

I didn't realise there was a way to escape while he was on the loo. XD Even more so that he could live at the end (as well as Madison).

Then again, same as Heavy Rain. Many people I know end up tied up in the crazy doctor's basement ready to be cut up alive, but you can just grab the clue you need and leave without him ever catching you.
