I am playing Devil in Me with a friend (don’t play alone, movie night) and I’ve started the game up twice without my progress being saved. I have the coins and premonitions from what I played but it keeps starting from the beginning in the hotel in the 1800s. Does anyone else have this problem? I haven’t played past ‘explore the island’ when they first arrive with the ferry. Do I just have to play further into the game before it saves? Online it says that the game saves after each choice you make so we’re just really confused. Thanks!! :)
I've been trying to get this one to work with my friend for an hour and we literally have not been able to get more than 5 minutes into it. I saw some of the issues were being talked about on this sub over two years ago but did they never solve these? It's completely stone walled our ability to even start the game
Her screen is completely black once Charle and Joe switch their roles in the prologue and after both have done the punching bag and the fortune teller it's just an infinite loading screen. It's not frozen for either of us because we can still pause the game and change settings. It's just completely unprogressable. I at least was able to do the fortune teller and the punching bag bit but her screen just stopped displaying anything other than the loading skull after her first round with the punching bag. None of the solutions I've found on the sub have worked. Help?
Hello!! I am going into The Quarry Blind and want to play with 4 other friends. For the people playing, we have names that are the same as the characters or are quite similar and thought it'd be funny for the corresponding people to play those characters. The characters we've selected thus far are Laura, Kaitlyn, Jacob, Emma, and Nick (we get one each).
Do you have any idea of how to divide the other three characters (Abigail, Dylan, Ryan)? If you'd encourage a different arrangement, we'd also be open to it.
Sorry that I’m a little late to the party. I’m a wimp when it comes to horror games, but have a soft spot for dark picture games.
I have a theory that nobody else seems to have mentioned. While I know Du’met was Agent Munday, a Couple of things bothered me. Why do we never see his face, and when Mark and Kate see his face, they seem shocked.
There was 1 character whose face we saw but we don’t know his name. The killer of Kates friend.
i believe this theory explains some other loopholes.
-I believe Dumet previously tried to kill Kate, but when Kate didn’t show, ended up killing her friend instead
-He may have kept tabs on Kate after the event, explaining how he knew about the H H Holms documentary
-this also explains Kate and Marks surprise upon seeing his face
would love to get some opinions on this theory and if it could possibly be correct
Imo this would be sooo cool what do you think

Sister and I restarted twice, there seems to be no button prompt other then "x" to climb. How the heck do we move the dumpster to climb into the window? We restarted twice and no button seems to move it. We'd like to continue if possible but game seems broken 15 min in. How to move objects ps4? Is this a known glitch?
Hi y'all!
I started playing Man of Medan with a bunch of friends the other day and we wanna keep going soon. It's super fun, we are loving it, and we wanna pick up the other games in the anthology soon to play after! But I haven't the faintest idea how much game we have left and how much time we should be planning for it, and I'm scared of getting spoiled a bunch if I try to look it up and get a guess based on walkthroughs etc - can you guys give me a rough estimate of how much time is left in the game for us? Doesn't need to be exact, but like...2 hours? 4 hours? 6 hours? What are we looking at?
We played about 2.5 hours I would say, >!we all got separated on the big ship and we JUST got back together again, and stopped at the narrator right after we got back together. Very recently we had a set piece with a ball/dinner room that first appeared in its former glory but then upon returning to it turned out to be decrepit.!< I hope this is enough info to communicate where we are in the plot!
Appreciate y'all!
I managed to keep everyone alive and accused the priest at the end, saving the little girl.
Characthers were leaving the family's burned house but Daniel and Taylor stayed behind and were killed by their monters' doubles.
Before being killed some locked personal traits appeared. Can anyone explain to me how those personal traits worked? I never understood that menu and barely look at it.
I was really pissed my characthers died because of it. I didn't even know they were relevant to the story.
Daniel was a hero, he fought his demon many times, saved people and had a great relationship with Taylor. Taylor said she had never felt part of a group before and seemed happy to be part of their group.
Everything was fine for both characthers. Why were they killed?
I've always loved these games for the way they can get me on edge, but I'm getting tired of this plot device. Every time I see a character die and they avoid showing a corpse, I immediately know they haven't died. It was a fun little spook and a great way to build tension the first few times, but now it just feels like a lazy way to get the protagonists to realize the stakes. From what I know they've used it in:
Until Dawn with >!Jessica on the elevator shaft. !<
Little Hope with >!Angela's sewer escape. !<
House of Ashes with >!Rachel & the Blood Pit. !<
TDiM with >!Charlie and the Furnace Grate. !<
The Quarry with >!Laura & Max's Prologue.!< (Haven't played this one yet so I'm not sure)
This crossed my mind when I was in the middle of my TDiM playthrough. Picture my face when I saw, or rather, didn't see >!Charlie cooking in his quaint little oven!<. Does anyone else have an issue with how often a character seemingly dying is used to build tension?
Does anyone have any good ideas on how to use the trait system without ruining your immersion? I don’t want every character to act the same but I don’t want them to be robotic either? Suggestions would be appreciated 👌
I know anyone can edit these but it's still a random and false addition.
surely, i have no one to play with and i want to experience them in solo. i also wanna know if its worth it to play solo. cos im planning to buy these 4 games
Conrad got the thing to start the duke of milan, everyone got on the duke of milan and made it out alive (with junior, he made it out alive too and Conrad killed Olson.)
Why are there so many hate comments under the announcement trailer all of a sudden? Where did this surge of negativity come from?
Because of Halloween, I decided to download the devil in me, I'm coming from school at 3 PM, because I live in a dorm so I'm going to home for the weekend. Should I play it? But then I'll have to play it in my moms room and she'd probably lay there.
Omg I'm so scared to play, because after that I finished all SMG games, but still will have TCoFS left... I feel like I should take a brake from playing them.
At the beginning of devil in me mark doesn’t seem scared crossing a log that’s hanging over a drop into water.
But he’s terrified of a bridge? 🤔
Seriously I don’t know if I chose the wrong things but Nick was an insufferable dickhead on this Play through
