    i like the show but i can’t help but think it’s a little bootleg when watching it. the game is just a work of art and trying to replicate that just feels a little weird.

      I haven’t played the game and, given the horror genre, I am unlikely to ever play it. The show is also horror, but watching is easier than playing.

      Additionally I know in the first season the Nick Offerman episode was a unique standalone, so it isn’t a straight replication. It seems like they’re trying to adapt it to fit TV instead of just filming a game shot for shot.

        It’s one of those games where you can watch someone else play it and get right into it, unless they utterly suck at the game it flows pretty well between gameplay and story.

        I watched my mate play the whole thing before I started playing it myself, then got to experience it in a different way. It’s one of my favourite games that is still emotional for me, just a proper good game.
