This video started out with a way too high "hot minute"s per minute, and unexpectedly from both Alex and Vinny. Glad it calmed down.

Its called water hammer when hot steam hits water in the pipe. Sounds exactly like what it did in the basement.

Not sure why the crew is so positive about the facial animation. This is basically Uncanny Valley: The Game. Was half-expecting the feature to be titled 'Until Frown'.

Loved playing through this game and I really really hated Emily and tried to get her killed whenever I had the chance.

However: after all of the stuff she goes through in the mines I felt kind of bad shooting her in the face for no reason.

Is there not some sort of FTP server thing, where they can re-upload the file from home to the server? Considering how they operate, seems odd there wouldn't be something like this in place.

Is something wrong with the sound or is all dialogue in this game spoken through multiple telephonelines?

Okay, I just watched Mary Kish's playthrough of this game and I can confirm that Alex is going to kill like half the cast if he can't stay still. I can't wait.

I can also mention that Mary got most of the "stay still" prompts, so I don't think the motion sensing is busted.

Mary is mellow, Alex is antsy.

You can save everyone. Though, it can be very difficult.

It rathers seems kinda arbitrary. What possible logic action could you have taken to save the twins? To me it didnt seem like Alex failed anything that has to do with difficulty or reason when they just suddenly died.

They posted a note above the comments "NOTE: This is the actual stream and not the downloadable archive. There are audio issues on the recorded archive that I need to fix when I get back to the office, but for now... enjoy!"

It's the actual stream data, so it won't work on the roku app (I wanted to watch it there too). It also won't save your video spot, so be careful.

I'm pretty sure in the case of the twins, There is no way to save them. That is the prologue and it sets the whole story in motion. It'll make sense by the end of the game.

All the voice acting in the game sounds like that. It's even worse if you listen on a surround sound system where all the voice acting comes right out of the center speaker without blending with the other audio. (from my own experience in game, pretty sure this video is only stereo.)

There's a section on the Supermassive Games website that has a FAQ for Until Dawn that references the muffled audio, but i'm pretty sure it's a situation where only certain people will notice it.

Too bad cause all the other audio in the game pretty fantastic.

I'm assuming they can't be saved. Stormare does say immediately afterwards that there's nothing you can do to change the events of the past, your decisions only matter going forward.

I've played through this game already, but I am really excited to see The Beast get through this.

Side Note: I love these Playdates. It's been a great show so far, and it is a nice way to put an end to the week. It's also a nice change of pace from some of the other stuff from the site where the team or one of the editors says "You know, I really want to play this game today." It's also a great way to tackle things like Until Dawn and Contradiction earlier this year, or maybe some other shorter or story based games (like maybe something like Life is Strange or one of the Telltale games?). The Crusaders episode was also really good, but I kind of like the idea of a full playthrough series or mini Endurance Runs. Whatever game the guys go with, they always seem to pick the right one.

Keep up the great work guys!

@dg187: I had the same problem. Was playing it with my cousin and his wife and I was the only one who saw her in the background. Had to go to a playthrough on youtube to show them just so they believed me.

Really cool! Excited to see you continue this, really like Alex as the guy playing. I feel like it is making him a bit uncomfortable, which makes this even better when shit hits the fan.

needed a little vinny to start my day today.

On second thought I think its kind of strange that this is in Canada but everyone's wearing their boots or shoes that are snowy and dirty in the house. Although maybe that's just a regional thing here too.

You don't want to take your boots off in a building that is likely sub zero. It has been sitting dormant for who knows how long.

Man this is great. This game, this feature, this team. But to piggyback off of what another user said, I've done one play through myself by way of Redbox rental and then went straight to the store to pick this up.

Please, if you enjoy this feature go out and pick up a copy. It's an awesome game that deserves support I'm afraid it just won't get, not only due to its release window, but the sheer number of let's play views it's getting. I'm afraid that so many people will watch it, love it, then never get it because they've already experienced everything it could offer them.

If you hate rereleases and want more original work, then please go out and support the creators!

You realize this is an argument for the whole lets play thing being a copyright violation that courts should stop ... ... ...
