Wanted to quote, but didn't want to spoil it for myself, since I only played chapter 1. Sam, Ash and Chris are my favorites too! I like Matt, I'm indifferent towards Jessica and Josh, and I hate Mike and Emily.

I like Matt, I'm indifferent towards Jessica and Josh, and I hate Mike and Emily. Yeah, I think that's spoilers for part.... 3? 4? Dunno. Matt's cool... I don't hate Mike, but he's not as big of a jerk as I initially thought he was. I do like the status system, I assume that affects how they act when you're not controlling them? I also sort of like occasionally looking, especially since i'm a ways into the game, and comparing where I've brought the characters compared to their starting points, so it's good that those are marked. I suppose I came to dislike Mike and Jess a bit less than I initially did from their parts later on... still, I don't like them, but.... yeah, indifference. Hate Emily. And Josh is.... I don't know, he's a bit too loud mouthed for me to like him, constantly making sexual jokes and stuff. Like, I don't dislike him, but his attitude just.... He's someone in real life who I'd try to just not spend much time with. I don't like those sorts of people in real life... Their personality just clashes against mine, I suppose.

One thing I want to know, was this game originally supposed to be released episodically? Because it does the whole "previously on Until Dawn" thing after every chapter.... but the chapters are short, and there's no real chance to stop between them, so it just serves as a far too often reminder of the plot so far?
And something that I kind of want to do is get some friends and just marathon the game and pass the controller around, like, each person has two characters that they play as, and just pass the controller to whoever based on what POV is it. That'd be something cool to do with friends for a night or something.

Hows it jumpscare-wise? I fucking hate jump scares, if it's pretty much all tension like Alien Isolation, I'll get it sooner than I had once planned.

As for the "Previously on" parts, I think it's just for show. Alan Wake did the same thing and the whole game was released at once.

Lots of jumpscares, but I'd say it doesn't rely on them, and a lot of it is atmosphere. Like... so far, it seems that each part of the story has a different tone. Some parts are a lot more about atmosphere and tension than any jumpscares, but other parts are a lot of jumpscares and action. It creates a nice contrast, honestly.

Hm. I'll see, I mean I'll definitely get it eventually since the idea of it is really awesome and it's gotten essentially entirely positive reviews.

Wait, so apparently.... (spoilers for the prologue) When given the choice to drop Hannah or let go(I let go), a totally different thing would have happened if you did nothing... I mean, I assume they'd be murdered by the guy, but maybe not? Maybe they can both live? (Chapter 3 spoilers) Probably not, because then the spirit board scene would have to be totally different.

Fuuuuuuuuuck. I made poor decisions. very poor choices. Spoilers for a ways into Chapter 6: So everyone knows the demo part that was shown over and over? I KNEW how to survive past that, but for whatever reason, forgot, immediately remembering once I'd made the wrong choice. So that means Sam was captured by the Psycho. The Clown Mask one anyway....
I got Emily killed, too. but I knew she would die. Like, there was a choice for Matt to get to a safer place, or put himself in danger to save her, and as my least favorite character, I simply didn't care. That means my 3 least favorite characters are all dead now. I just hope I have an opportunity to save Sam.
I'm slightly encouraged by the fact that you could not possibly know what would happen, and there was no totem predicting it, so... I'm hoping it would kill a character for something random like that.
Also, I'm really liking Mike a lot more. He's going through a lot of shit to hunt down Jess' killer, so good on him.

I watched some reviews, and now I've decided as soon as I get £40 I'm gonna buy it, looks pretty damn good.

Okay so me and my brother are halfway through chapter 6. We switched chracters so I have Sam, Chris, Jess, and Mike, and he has Josh, Matt, Em, and Ash. Chapter 3 spoilers: Zyphon I understand your hate towards Jess' death. I went quick every single time and made it, but the last time I chose to go safe and she died. Not that I'm mad, but that's kinda bullshit. Also I think I really pissed off my brother by killing Josh over Ash as Chris. Is there anyway to save them both? Chapter 5 spoilers: Holy shit I was so nervous while running as Sam. I kept running until I got to the boiler room where I chose to hide. While I was still hidden I tried to make a run for it only for Sam to get nabbed. I actually thought I got her killed until it flashbacked to the baseball bat I found with Josh, so I was able to save her at the last second. I feel that was probably the most scared I have ever been in a game since I'm pulling for her and Chris to make it out.
