There's three ways: Je suis Cindy, Mon nom est Cindy, and Je m'appelle Cindy. All are technically correct.

Swatting themself.

Once you get to Colorado, the game gets hard to put down.

Yeah...but the cutscene just before you go save it, it's revealed that they don't even know for sure if killing her and getting at her brain is even the answer. They are just gonna go ahead and do it anyway. That's the moment Joel decided to act.

It's true. When I was playing TLOU it gave me a little chuckle to see them ignore my partner NPCs, but then I just shook it off, realizing that it was actually a wise design decision.

Ooooh. That makes sense. The villain's motivations and story arc made made more sense than the hero's. That's interesting. Thanks for clearing that up.

SPOILERISH INFO

Well done! Sincerely.

It's just that, for comparison's sake, in Evan's review he died 140 times, and it took him 30 hours. I don't know if that was from multiple playthroughs or what, but if that were my experience with the game, I likely would've felt frustrated. But it just wasn't as difficult as a lot of reviewers have let on.

Yeah, I agree. I think that despite there being a lot of questions remaining, the story actually did a decent job of explaining itself. Horror games don't have a good record of ending their stories well, so it was good to get something satisfactory.

Right. I died there a few times too. After you lift the first sacrifice, the spikes just clear. Immediately I thought that I had by chance solved the puzzle without trying. So I went for the corridor, and as soon as the camera pulled back the view, I knew I had been fooled.

Me too. I had a lot of fun with it. It was better than either the newest Resident Evil attempts, or that last Silent Hill game, and far less frustrating. I found the game to be a breeze on Survival difficulty.

I'm having a lot of fun with this game. It honestly meets my expectations in most ways. I actually like that it's basically a Mikami's best of reel. Horror doesn't always need to be tense spook-outs like Outlast. Big, cornball horror is fine with me too. It has to be taken as it is, and despite being in the same genre…

No shame, I really liked it, too. It was like if L.A. Noire was a lot cooler and had spacial puzzles involved in it. The guy's fedora was a bit much, but it kept the noir-ish vibe going.

Not to mention this. I know it's nowhere near as great a game, but the setup is the same.
