[SPOILER] Kinda pushed the boundaries with the dark room photos?

[Annie]

I played the game yesterday and now that I slept a night over it I realize that one thing in particular keeps creeping up in my head, those photos of Kate and Rachel in the dark room.

The artwork on them is amazing, they are so well done and powerfull but also.. kinda disturbing?

They were really detailed too which got me by surprise since most other photos we look at in the game were always low in quality and detail.

Especially the photo where Rachel is laying with her eyes closed and ''has something in her mouth''. Like really... I mean they imply thats Rachel after beeing sexually abused and semen dropping out of her mouth right?

I just felt thats pretty harsh and dark. Really took me by surprise. Your thoughts?

They made me sick, and I cannot eat since finishing the episode. Feel like I have to puke.

Yep..This is where I started to jokingly say that David Fincher and Guillermo Del Toro were involved in the direction of the episode in my reaction post yesterday.. <.<

Yep, they went too far. Posted that picture yesterday:

It was totally sick, cruel and unnecessarily shocking and brutal. :( Dontnod really overstepped the boundaries of realism here.

Yes! That's the one I was talking about. And I agree. Finding photos like that alone was a shocker enough. Letting us go through them in high detail felt kinda over the top.

Yeah i was shocked when i saw those photos, even that Chloe photo in Nathan room was disturbing, damn this episode was very dark

[Mr. Pig]

wow are you guys all like 12 and never leave the house? dontnod is addressing some serious issues here, from bullying to kidnapping, those pictures has captured the reality of kidnapped women, what else can stir more powerful attention than pictures?

[pokernik]

I dunno thats some nice drawing

[Naomi_Armitage3]

the strong images are needed to create the game feeling lie it was real in the player ,if i play a "fake emotion" game ,i could not even play it

they make you help or not a bullied girl , to save or not the father of your best friend ,to let that friend in wheelchair , to kill her or not ,etc etc etc .

this remember me another strong moment from a video game ,the last of us ,the death of the girl at the start and how the father talk to her.

that is the strong emotion needed for this games ,like when max and chloe find rachel and max cry and hug chloe , i mean me :p

There's realism and realism. And this was simply too much. Period.

And play it as cool as you want, but I, for one, am still sick to my stomach about it. :(

Yeah. And alhough the subject rarely comes up, I shudder to think what Nathan did with Chloe. :(

♥♥♥♥♥ the place was called "Dark Room", ♥♥♥♥ happens in dark rooms

[David Young Henning]

Huh, in my opinion DontNod didn't push any boundaries. I was actually a little disappointed by how light the scene in the Dark Room played out (very few non-graphic, non-disturbing pictures).

[Neonar]

Everyone has a different threshold when it comes to gruesome imagery or horrifying events. So its different for everyone.

ye not enough edge there
