Thought this was pretty funny on TV Tropes. Spoiler free as well:

This meta fan theory/epileptic tree: "I just realized. The Washington parents' names are Bob and Melinda, the latter of which can be shortened to Linda. They have one son, who's kind of a weird dude, and two daughters, one of whom is super awkward, bespectacled and makes disastrous attempts to pursue her much-fantasized crush. I can't believe Until Dawn is actually Bob's Burgers!"

As many above have said,game was tense, enthralling and awesome toplay (especiallywith headphones) right up to the wendigo twist. It was such a good physcho thriller and a great 80's teen horror throwback up until then, didnt mind the josh twist, but for it to essentiallygo nowhere as the wendigo story took over sucked the fun out of it for me. Saved sam, chris, ashe, mike,

Echos my sentiments. Was crap from there and was nowhere near enjoyable.
 
Grabbed this for $39 at Big W today. How long does it take to finish?

I'd like to do it in one or two sittings if it's 5-8 hours.

That's about the ballpark. Definitely the type of game you will want to finish in a couple of sittings. I bought it for my fiance who is a complete and utter non gamer and she finished it in a couple of days.
 
Good game, always prefer horror stories to have 'human' reasons for it though if that makes sense.

Given that Josh was playing the PSYCHO prank on all of them how come Ashley heard things when they were using the spirit board? Or was that also to do with the Wendigos?

It's been a while since I played the game, but I don't remember Ashly hearing things. Regardless, I would say that the whole spirit board thing was set up by josh to freak Ashley and Chris out.

I haven't got too much of a problem with 'human' or 'supernatural' reasons to horror. I don't even mind the Wendigos element to the game or that Josh was the psycho. I guess the thing that put me off with the story is that they both appeared in the same game and made it feel a bit disjointed. Also the realisation that most of the characters weren't in any real danger when Josh revealed himself was bit deflating. They should have had it either just the Wendigos or for it to be just Josh as the psycho (and actually trying to terrify and murder his friends) IMO. Not both. As it is, it's like having Freddy Kruger appearing out of nowhere halfway through the Saw movie.

I hope they make another game like this but in a different setting and characters. The big mistake a lot of good horror movies make is that they make sequels. What is often scary in horror is the suspense and the unknown. Once the "enemy" is revealed and the "rules" in which to engage him/her/it is known then it loses the suspense. The sequel would need new characters and a new threat, with perhaps subtle easter eggs from the first game at best.

Having watched it again you're right, for some reason I remembered it as Ashley hearing things but obviously all communication was via the board.
Yeah good point - even if it was one or the other it would have been better. But for me I find 'human' reasons for horror to be scarier since it feels more real. If it was Josh the whole way through that would have had some great potential I think. Would have required a significantly different storyline ofcourse.

Shouldn't visit the thread if you haven't finished the game. Or avoiding reading other posts.
: looks at all the other pages including this one :

How much swearing do you deserve for that. ..

I finished the game. This is for other people's consideration.

Just finished this.

matt, Emily, Mike and Chris survived for me
Sam died at the end even though I didn't move.

Really enjoyed it overall. Didn't mind the whole wendigo thing or the twist. Thought it actually worked well.

yeah that bit is super pretty tricky bok - seems to be mega sensitive. I cheated on my second playthrough by putting the controller on the floor and turning the rumble off. :p
