***SPOILERS*** Comparing Weirdness

[ArcaBunny]

So after a couple of replays of the demo, I've noticed how different each run can be, want to compare notes?

contains spoilers, please do not preview or read past this point if you want to go into the game with no ideas of whats to come... Like poor Garrett

1) On the night the bird is screaming outside and your to-do list says to investigate there was a ghoulish woman with glowing eyes was crouched by the big tree to the right of the back door. She disappeared as I approached

2) A similar looking man was lurking in the bathroom with the door slightly open, as I approached he slammed the door. When I opened it there was no-one there

3) Going to bed late there was a banging sound and a huge pile of books or notepads between the stairs and the bed

4) After buying a scarecrow it went missing, I assumed I'd bought it in a different play save file but nope, it was standing by my bed at night!!! It moved it's head whenever I moved the flashlight away from it

5) Low stakes creepy stuff like the TV turning itself on or the wardrobe doors opening on their own with a creak you can hear throughout the house

6) No wolves! I had a play through with absolutely no wolf attack, I searched the whole area for them and there was no sign but I was on edge the entire time!

I've no idea what the criteria is for triggering these events or if it's random, but do you have any that I've missed?

I've only ever seen it once in probably 100+ hrs of playtime, but there is a sound effect that goes with it, I've had that several times but never realised what it signified.

If you hear something I can only describe as distilled anxiety that gets louder towards the back of the house then chances are she's there. She's not really floating, it's as though there is a mountain sized head looking down at you, try looking out the back bedroom window and you'll be on eyeline with her

finally got it!!!! i also finally went and saw the lady in black at the barn in the fog. i also saw someone with a flashlight from my bedroom window down by the cans shining the light into the tree branches but was too close to forced sleep to go outside.

I'm trying to see the trespasser, some monster in the trees the child like ghost and the ghost at the window. i have entirely too many hours on this game but i cant wait for it to come out

The person with the flashlight is the trespasser.

I cant wait to get attacked by the fish ghost while fishing

Yeah I just want to see the trespasser up close I only seen the flashlight as a distance from the second floor of the bedroom. I also found a new saved event that I don't know what the entity was because I didn't see it but it was sisters horror entity scare event nearby.....

Also also, I did the savefile in notepad trick Walkin Tornado mentioned earlier in the thread, here's the events it's logged for me and what I think they correspond to.

"RandomHouseHorrorEvent":1, - The bathroom door opening on its own I think, as it was my first event on this save.
"WardrobeHorrorEvent":1, - The wardrobe making a loud banging noise, my 2nd event.
"AudioWhisperScareEvent":1, - I think this refers to the "Hey" ghoul that hides behind the tree.
"SpawnFloatingWomen":1, - Apparently I got the floating women event but just completely missed it, RIP.
"AudioSticksScareEvent":2, - Spooky audio queue I guess.
"AudioFootstepsScareEvent":2, - Another spooky audio queue it seems.
"ZombieAtWindowCatalog":1, - This one is hard to say, either I missed a ghoul looking through a window, or this might refer to the face peering at me in the warehouse with the broken down cars.
"SpawnTrespasser":1, - Definitely the ghostly figure who walked through the wall and disappeared inside my house, especially considering what the next listed one is.
"SpawnNotepadPile":1, - The notepad pile spawned right after the ghostly figure in my game, I went outside to calm down, when I came back in the pile was in the spot where the ghost had disappeared in my living room.
"HeadSkyHorrorEvent":1, - The gigantic ghoulish face in the sky, spawned for me right as I killed the 2 wolves in the barn. Also coincided with hearing a strange rustling noise right behind me at the exact same moment, and then the Scarecrow spawning inside my dining room as I rushed back inside.
"FakeEntityScareEvent":1, - Not sure what this one is, the name seems to refer to a fake-out monster scare maybe? But I can't remember anything specific this could be.
"FaceFireplaceEvent":1, - The head in the fireplace.
"ZombiePeekHouseEvent":1, - Not sure about this one. I don't remember a peeking ghoul other than the bathroom and fireplace, except for the face in the window in the warehouse with the cars, but the "HouseEvent" makes it seem like it should be something inside the farmhouse.
"ZombieBathroomDoorEvent":1, - The ghoul looking through the cracked bathroom door.
"StaringScarecrowScareEvent":1, - The scarecrow, spawned for me in the dining room.
"AudioScarySoundScareEvent":1, - Another audio queue.
"ForestCreatureHorrorEvent":1, - The "wendigo" black figure with the antlers, chased me around the backyard.
"InvisibleHorrorEntityScareEvent":1, - The invisible monster, also chased me around the backyard and even got 1 hit in.
"SistersHorrorEntityScareEvent_Nearby":1 - Unsure, but I think this might actually be the "Diseased Couple" enemy type, because I think I was attacked by it earlier on when leaving the lookout tower at sunset. I didn't get a look as I was sprinting for my life, but its attack pattern and shrieking seemed to be the exact same as the Couple in the story conclusion.

Some of these are pretty puzzling still, namely the "Fake Entity", "Zombie at Window Catalog" and "Zombie Peek House Event". Would be interesting to see if it's possible to narrow down what events are what with further breakthroughs.

i know this is old but the women is easy to catch bc the music and outside the house will be red, the zombie at the window is what you listed as trespasser and the trespasser has a flashlight outside sisters i still don't know but the fake one is just a sound effect similar to invisible entity only no harm done

So the opening scene the face that pops up in the rearview mirror if you look behind the headrest air in the very opening you'll see the outline of the top of the head and the grayish hue behind the space where the headrest and the back seat are.

I just noticed a face in the bottom right corner of the TV. But that's the first time I've noticed it and this is the first time I went out of my way not to do the cutscene with the deer.

I've had the closet slam shut

The headless couple attack

The wendigo? not sure if this is the next one but files listed him as forest creature

Black figure with horns that walks after you "ForestCreatureHorrorEvent":1 picture was tree

The floating women (pretty sure witches and looks like the woman in black in the barn loft during the foggy day) "SpawnFloatingWomen":1

head of ghoul hanging down from fireplace and slides up when you see it "FaceFireplaceEvent":1

After finding crow on fence if you dont turn around ghoul says "hey" is is peeking around the side of the tree closest to the house"ZombiePeekHouseEvent":1

the door opening on its own and bathroom window open???"RandomHouseHorrorEvent":1

Wardrobe rattles loudly "WardrobeHorrorEvent":1

The head and the fireplace "FaceFireplaceEvent":1 picture was the tree

The ghoul in the bathroom (same as zombie at catalog only more decayed and i think the one behind the tree at night) "ZombieBathroomDoorEvent":1 picture was the four armed creepy guy

Windy voice behind me outside and once the bathroom and once standing at front door at dusk immediately after lights came on saying (Morales¿ Lol) "AudioWhisperScareEvent":1

from bedroom saw a person with a flashlight down by where you shoot the cans "SpawnTrespasser":1

Woman standing at the dining room table who walks through the basement stairs section wall into the living room and disappears by the living room couch in gray shirt brown pants short hair hands awkwardly down at her side on day two (picture was just upside down hallway) night time lights hadn't come on yet but there was a high sound of wind all the sudden right before the ghoul in the bathroom popped open. And that's when I noticed the ghoul in the bathroom was a more rotted character form of the woman who walks from one room to the other I ran up and looked at it up close open the door in it looks at you closely before it vanishes "ZombieAtWindowCatalog":1, saw it again just after mid day

pile of "to do list" "SpawnNotepadPile":1

scarecrow in the house sometimes in kitchen sometimes in bedroom"StaringScarecrowScareEvent":1

Also in the garage when you jump up on top of the vehicle to get the oil can and turn around there was a face in the window where the broken out glass above door is.

There's been a invisible thing that runs through the tall grass and attacks "InvisibleHorrorEntityScareEvent":1

invisible fake attack music sounds as if about to be attacked but nothing

sticks breaking behind me

sticks breaking louder "AudioSticksScareEvent":2

something walking near me "AudioFootstepsScareEvent":1

audible something running at me no damage "AudioFootstepsScareEvent":2

Running around randomly near the barn some random voice made like a moan out of nowhere while it was still light out

Audio slam and screaming from basement if you click the locked door 5 times

Face the size of a mountain on the left side of the view from your back porch You can't miss it when it's there. Got the terrorizing music which made me go check the backyard which dimmed my peripheral vision when I looked at her "HeadSkyHorrorEvent":1
The painting was the grayish deformed body on the left side of the painting which turned into the floating Ram's Head when I came back in from being outside.

still trying to see the tresspasser up close and the creature in the woods at night

also dont know what this entry was ref to "SistersHorrorEntityScareEvent_Nearby":1



lastly for anyone trying to see all the scares but hate grinding to level your human up open your save file in notepad click "find" and type "money" and make yourself well off lol

im still trying to re get all the scares again to add the right scare id to them but on top of the money thing i put at the end of the above post you can also open your save file in notepad and type the following "isLocked" : true" and change true to false, save and load your game and you can now enter the basement where you find some info day to day. its glitchy still but neat

I don't think the Trespasser can be the flashlight one, because I never got that one in my game. The window zombie I think somebody else earlier in the thread spotted as one that appears at the window in the house when you check the build catalogue for the first time, I just didn't see it because I was so focused looking at the catalogue.
The sisters one is still a bit of a mystery, but I think it must've been whatever monster almost managed to kill me as I ran from it all the way back from the lookout tower.

Ooh, nice tip about the basement thing! I gotta try that out on a playthrough, I kept testing the basement and attic doors all the time because I was convinced something would eventually open them lol

[Warp37]

What about opening the attic?

i get the trespasser often without seeing him he supposed to spawn down between the wood pile and the shed in the woods. I've only seen him once but i get his event often. others have said if you run to him he shines light at you and vanishes

the one that attacks you but you cant see is the invisible thing that runs through the tall grass and attacks "InvisibleHorrorEntityScareEvent":1 if you jump on the chicken coop it cant get you but your light flickers when you shine it at it like the couple.

invisible fake attack music sounds as if about to be attacked but nothing like above is labled false or fake attack im gonna have to get it again to add the right file name. i didnt think to try to record the events or the pictures with them until much later in my playing them demo lol

the window zombie and catalog zombie im still trying to see which is which because i cant seem to get the kid / child ghost people have seen. the window zombie i got around 2 pm in middle window and its a less rotted version of the bathroom zombie it clips through dining room wall into living room and vanishes by the couch.

for such a short demo there is a lot to find and a lot of files disabled showing alot more items hes already had set up for the game

its not set up as a door way in the demo i looked and the only locked door is the basement. i know i was hopeful when i found the basement door lol i'll keep looking but likely nothing in there for the demo like the basement. im not sure why the journal is in the basement other than glitch or it wasnt ready and it was easier to move it to there than remove it idk?

I think I just peed a little D:

Yep, and if you catch it early enough (like you go straight to the TV after "Hey!" you can see the Kitty Visitor enter from the left of the screen and hide under the porch!

Never noticed in all my plays lol I'll have to look next playthrough

Ahh true, it might've well spawned the flashlight one but I just didn't happen to spot it. I actually managed to not see the floating women over the house despite that being listed as triggered too so anything's possible lol

I'm pretty certain the invisible thing is different from the one that almost murdered me. I got attacked by the invisible thing once where I got a good look at the grass moving as it came for me but it's hit didn't hurt much and I can't remember it screeching or anything like that.
The monster that chased me from the tower I sadly didn't get a look at since I was running for my life, but it was hitting really hard, easily kept up with my fully upgraded sprinting speed and it was screeching and shrieking like a banshee.
Iirc it was probably the same screaming the diseased couple enemy does when it attacks you during the demo finale.
I really wish I got some of them on video too, especially this monster coz I've not seen it before or since and no monsters even half as aggressive as that one was.

also if you modify the following to true for all of them you can add auto sprinklers for crops and cows. sheep is just a place holder and some other build stuff. i think i'm going to modify the scares chance and paste all the know scares in a save file and leave out trespasser and see if i shorten the days if i can see trespasser an other unknown scares more easily

"SurvivalBook_Data" : {
"__type" : "SurvivalBookSaveHandler+SaveData,Assembly-CSharp",

Im absolutely convinced theres a lot more scares that we havent found yet. Im side eyeing those abandoned cars at the far edge of the map. Ive camped there at night a few times but i gotta admit i was hella spooked.

Best way ive found to camp for the tresspasser is to stand in the living room looking out the window to the front porch. Once the sky turns red, start moving the camera periodically to the sink then back out the window. If the tresspasser spawns, youll see a shining white light from the window. The moving the camera is crucial as things only spawn when Garret isnt looking in that direction.

[<<AN>> flamie]

if anyone wants I wrote a mod that guarantees scary encounters every night (sometimes multiple) and also fixes a few bugs with save games, add me as a friend/reply if u want it :)
Also I wrote the wiki page for this game and it details alot of scary encounters in case people are curious -> https://we-harvest-shadows.fandom.com/wiki/We_harvest_Shadows_Wiki

Wow you made quite a bit of headway with your replays, i never thought that the deer cutscene would have an impact on the weirdness, well spotted.

ive tested the wendigo spawn in a few playthroughs and managed to get him somewhat consistently when i spend the entire day cutting trees and selling logs and nothing else and then standing outside after nightfall. Helps to turn around a lot, he seems to spawn during your turning around camera movement.
I didnt get the tall wolves or the massive tree creature.
Right now im trying to figure out how to consistently get the head in the sky. Will def share if i can figure it out

wendigo? that's from another game-until dawn,tall wolves=don't see,heard about the tall tree creature in the field-never saw,from what you mean about the head in the sky is only possible if you bought the rifle,and is and the END of the demo.

Wendigo is a mythological creature or evil spirit originating from Algonquian folklore. It got nothing to do with the game besides they used the myth.
