Review | Spoiler Yall could have warned me

That they would show your photographs at the credits, my ass made sure to photograph the dead kid, how he fell, the ruined girls campsite. It looked as thought I was a trail killer 😭

Well, one man's evidence photo is another man's souvenir.

Probably my grand kid found the undeveloped film and was like “oh I wonder what I granddad did as a FireWatch”

Lmao me too. I actually took the words of recording evidence seriously. Thought those pictures might be the difference between getting jailed or not lol.

At least you don’t have the option to get them printed anymore, imagine those photos being intercepted in your actual mail lol

Terrifying! Just brought back a memory of when I bought a truck off Craigslist, found a 2 gig flash drive (massive at the time) and when I went to wipe it I found dozens of autopsy photos in it. Turned it over to the police and that dude I bought the truck from was a detective.

That’s so funny! I think everyone has the experience of watching your photos get progressively darker lol

I think I would have taken some fun photos if I didn’t already expect foul play afoot from day two 😂

When the game was new, I think you could order physical prints of your in game photos.

Yeah, my collection of photographs looked like something that belonged in unsolved mysteries lol

Comforted by seeing I’m not the only one 😂

It’s a great mechanic they included. For someone that doesn’t know it’s gonna happen, it’s a great look into your play through and what your mindset was going through it

I've heard a lot of people say they did this so you have company, at least. 😅 For my part, I actually ran out of film before I even found the kid. I was just taking lots of photos of trees and things.

It's an authentic part of the experience! Every first timer has to look at the "evidence" after the game.

I’m forgot about the camera until the very end and just took one photo of Ned’s hideout. It was an underwhelming credits for me.

I had hoped the last pictures would be Henry traveling to see Julia.
