Hello, is it possible to play in coop without finishing the game? I want to play with a friend but i don't want to get spoiled

One of you will have to break the loop to get to play as Julianna, but you don't need complete all of the achievements.

Yes definitely. Especially if you have a friend you play against with a good connection. One thing that you don't see in the single player game much is network dependency. When playing multiplayer, the game is actually hosted on whoever is playing as Colt. When you play against randos they may have a lousy internet connection that doesn't bother them much, but you as Julianna are playing a game hosted on Colt's machine. If everyone has a fast internet connection and they are in the same part of the globe, it is amazing. It is a real adrenaline rush. If the connection provided by Colt is bad, Julianna has a really jittery experience that is sometimes unplayable. To Colt is just looks like Julianna is not very good. If I get a bad connection I just drop out.

If you are playing against someone you know it should be a blast. They are great maps for PVP. Cheers!

When exactly, I can try to kill my friend with Juliana? At any time?

Both of you have to finish the tutorial, and one of you will have to break the loop to enable playing as Julianna.

I was talking in game, exactly at what moment, I can "raid" him

Okay, if you earn the right to play as Julianna by breaking the loop. If you and your friend are "Friends" on the same platform (Steam) and your friend selects Online Friends Only (vs Offline or the rando online option). When they enter a level at a time of day which Julianna can invade, if you select Invade Friend's Game (or some such), you will be queued up to invade your friend shortly. A key point is it has to be at a place and time Julianna can invade - the general rule is that is has to be a place and time of day when a Visionary is present, with the exception of Afternoon at Fristed Rock (Juliana does not invade there that I have seen). For example if you are friends on Steam and your friend selects Online Friends Only and enters Fristed Rock in the morning to get Frank, and you as Julianna select Invade Friend, you should pop in shortly to ruin their morning. Voila! So Colt picks the map and time of day for the fun to begin. I think I have that all correct, anyone else can jump in and correct me.
