Thanks for providing some sort of data, Yuki! It was worth a shot. It's probably important to mention that this test probably isn't the only thing that affects the ending, though, and that each of the possible effects I've listed are hypothetically exclusive (Cheryl can let go, but not reconcile wit...

It's most likely that she died from massive internal bleeding in her brain caused by the crash, just like Natasha Richardson (RIP), who merely fell over while skiing and bumped her head; she insisted to her ski instructor that she was fine and like Lisa soon after died of internal bleeding. Her stub...

Larval Stalkers were so cute back in the first game. I hated how they'd activate my radio, but they were so harmless and did nothing but fall over. Adorable!

They're less so in SM. lol

More important than analyzing which is the more correct order is how your answers affect the ending. I think with some inferring, we can rewrite the roles of Celestine, Wilhelm, the King, and the Bull into Harry, Cheryl, Dahlia, and the Car Crash. Celestine -> Harry (the victim) Wilhelm -> Cheryl (s...

Not "save" per se. It's more like they're trying to trap him, trying to keep him from fulfilling his ultimate goal: to break Cheryl from her delusions. Somebody, somewhere else mentioned that the Raw Shocks are like the Censors from Psychonauts (and if you did play that game, congratulati...

I thought he said "Abstinence makes the heart grow fonder." Might have been my hearing, or my lack of subtitles. But it made sense at the moment (since I was playing a very sex-oriented playthrough).

Doesn't make sense since the two cities are about 50 miles apart.

I can't remember exactly where this happens, but towards the beginning Harry is like, "My name is Harry Mason. I'm a writer. I love my daughter very much." It sounded like a really programmed and robotic answer to me. Of course, getting to the ending makes it all make sense, as he was lite...

Dr. K is referring to sex (or life) and death as forces of nature that are linked. Denying the need to create life is denying the need to accept death. So when (depending on your play-style and ending) Cheryl denies her own father's sexuality as part of his identity, she in turn denies his death. Th...

I kinda wanna see Climax move away from Cheryl/Heather/Alessa storylines and characters and create an all new psychological thriller with secular characters in the vein of SH2. While Origins and Shattered Memories are good games in of themselves, I really think Climax would just soar if they weren't...

Nice find! The diner also has license plates on the wall from Michigan. A sign near the edge of the lake explains that glaciers covering the northern half of North America were responsible for the creation of the Great Lakes and Toluca Lake. There are five Great Lakes, though, so it isn't the most u...

I thought the dial was the thermostat, lol. So when the raw shock scratches "It's so cold!" on the side, I thought the response to turn off the ice nightmare was to simply turn up the heater. :mrgreen:

I actually got a hang of throwing monsters off forwards and backwards no problem, but for some reason, no matter how clearly I gestured, the side throw would always be unresponsive. It might have just been me and my position to the sensor bar or something, but I ended up just changing tactics during...

Actually, both. You (spoiler free) find it necessary to find a new set of clothes about halfway through the game. Then again right at the very end (though the reason why you need clothes is kind of your fault).

Why did God create mosquitoes?

This was on the overhead projector in one of the labs at the high school during my playthrough, questioning why God would make mosquitoes if they are harmful to humans. Upon closer reading of the slide, it says something to the effect of, "When God created mosquitoes, they weren't harmful to Ad...

What a bad review. While they were right in calling the monster-throwing motion controls unresponsive (they really, really are), most of what he says is pretty stupid. I personally loved the Wii-mote-as-a-phone thing; it really brought a level of immersion and connection to the character I haven't f...

Suicide in the cabin?

Did anyone else stumble upon the backstory of the man who kills himself in the cabin over (what seems to me) his male lover? (It may be specific to those playing with the Sex and Sirens ending in mind). Outside the cabin near the water tower, a memory is triggered by a wreath nailed to a tree. You g...

I just generally enjoyed the puzzles of the game, which actually made me think for a bit before getting the result. Also, while simple, any of the physics based interactions were pretty cool and really drew me into the game. In terms of actual moments, the labyrinth area was pretty awesome, since it...

If Dahlia is now a young dancer (stripper? barmaid?), Lisa could be anything. These developers clearly aren't afraid to mix things up a bit.
