very much in the camp of twins - she says that she was born at the same time as Eve, and Florence seems to be real (or is she Florence fucking Nightingale aka proto nurse / midwife?) and it seems like Eve did go and live in he attic after Florence died, which seems to be real.
However that then means that all the fairy tale stuff is real and fffuuu but that's also made by the guy who made the best Silent Hill so I can imagine it's a bit left field

I'm split person all the way. The story just seems a nonsense that she and another 5 year old could metal gear their way through life and their parents not spotting both at the same time. There are hints at the twin though which muddy my conviction (bruise, tattoo and story about quick change)

Aha, flickering reflection of you as her twin when you find the right videos made me laugh. Bit on the nose.

indication that a clip has been watched a lot and therefore is important

It's not her twin, this is find outsole from the two readme files

So I'm also "done". In fact at < 50%, so I'm aware i've missed a lot (but then carried on, at about 60%, but no real change to what I'd found out before. Curious whether the last 40% has plot changes or more of the same.

I pretty much thought twin - tattoo, wig stuff, the talk of one being pregnant when the other wasn't.

Kinda interesting how it got revealed piecemeal. Not sure I ever felt "clever" though, just chucked in words at random and it got spelt out quick enough. Nice and different really, but not quite totes amazeballs or anything.

First off, the way of telling it is great - a fake desktop accessing materials from '94. There's the fact you're logged in as a guest which is interesting, then there's the clock - THE CLOCK - which matches the system date. Inconsequential but also really fucking clever, because it's a deliberate decision to set up who your character actually is.


As far just whacking words in at random, yeah, there's certainly an element of that, even though the game guides you. I think what is smart about it isn't entirely its delivery and so forth, its the fact that its a game that lets you say "ok, i'm done now" and doesn't chase you to force an ending down your throat. That's pretty rare in games, and the main thing it makes me think of is Dark Souls. I shudder to think at the amount of work Sam Barlow put into writing those 7 interrogations, the direction of the acting and the fragmentation of them must have taken an inhumane amount of time.

For me, it's definitely a 'greater than its sum' thing. Sure, there's always ways to do something like this smarter and more intricately, but the fact is this went and did it. He was confident enough to create something that you can chose to decide is 'finished' at less than 60% of the content unlocked, which in and of itself is fairly fresh. I can feel a counter argument forming about "well no linear medium ever truly checks to see if you understood it" but I feel that's muddying my point a bit. Anyway, I've paid more for pints than this costs. I'll take it.
