How does the Knock Code work?
I am trying to decipher the tapped messages, but I have not been able to understand how it works. Also, she taps too fast for me to keep track of.

Can someone help me there?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks, but I have already found that article and it does not really help me.

As I said, she taps too fast for me to keep track of. Plus, she sometimes switches hands, which ends up confusing me even more.

Close your eyes, and listen. That's how I did it.

You might have to rewind a few times to get it, but it's not that tricky.

(If you click while the video is playing it will bring up a seek bar.)

Actually, I agree with you. I managed to get the shorter one no problem. In the video starting, "Hannah, Hannah, Hannah. Why are you talking about Eve? She taps out "Love U"

But in the other video, I think there are a couple of tap-o's in the message. I really think she taps out "Byd Hannan" I'm a little puzzled about that. That the last "N" should be an "H" seems obvious, but the first one is a little less clear. "Bye Hannah," probably.
I actually got bydhannan too, and thought I had got it wrong.

You have to ignore the hand switches, it doesn't make any sense otherwise.

It was the hand switches that made me think that Hannah and Eve are the same person, but there are other things that wouldn't fit, like the bruise.

It's definitely BYDHANNAN which I'm 100% sure is BYE HANNAH, but I think the mistakes make sense, if you consider that one of them is able to tap her code perfectly, and the other makes mistakes - like Eve says, there are differences between them; Hannah is presumably better at the knock/tap code than Eve

"Eve" sure is sloppy. Hard to believe they could fool so many people in so many years, and she still makes mistakes like this

What is your point, mr/mrs snarky? I doubt the efficacy of the code was something that would have exposed anything at any point, but sure, she made a deliberate mistake because...

If I was snarky it was directed at "Eve", not you. I do find Eve surprisingly sloppy. She touches the wrong side of her head talking about the bruise, she spills coffee, she makes mistakes when tapping. There may be more.

My point is not that she's doing it deliberately. My point is that if "Eve" is a separate person from Hannah (twin or MPD) it is unlikely that she would be this bad at maintaining consistency with "Hannah".

Not impossible, unlikely.

The solution to this problem is that there is no "Eve", only Hannah. She's bad at consistency, either on purpose, or because Her Story is rather new.

Ah right, so you're suggesting that because she knew the camera was recording, she made mistakes to lend credence to the idea that she had either a twin or another personality. Inneressin.

With the "only Hannah" model, yeah, she's trying either the MPD, or the Twin defense. In this one I work from a story where Simon had an affair with Helen (the barmaid). It was Helen that went with Simon to Oxford.

The mirror is not a birthday present, but an anniversary gift. There is no second mirror, and therefore the second mirror is not the murder weapon.

Simon maybe wanted a Divorce, just as Hannah finally got pregnant. Simon may not be the father of Sarah.

The model suffers from the same problem as the MPD one. The tattoo in particular is in the way.

A good thing about the game is that it allows for several of Our Stories :)

A note about the bruise: "Eve" claims that she and Hannah had to mimic each others bruises. She says that one of them once had to hit the other to replicate a bruising.

If they had made the same mirror mistake, as when "Eve" touches her wrong cheek, people would surely have noticed, in particular the parents.

Why would they make such an obvious mistake when talking to the police?

how are you people getting Love U? To get O you need 3 taps, pause and another 4 taps? the second letter is B because she taps once, makes a pause and then taps twice o_O this is the message she taps out: ... ._.. ...._..... ._. ..... .... .....

How can that be Love U? That's LBUAQVQ or it's LIVVQV... or it's not tap code. That's the message you get if you listen to on hand individually and you get the second one if you combine both hands

No matter which interpretation you favour, the answer is fairly clearly "plot necessity."

There are two possible interpretations of events here:

1) They are twins, and manage to fool the whole world into thinking that they are one person for decades, but then make elementary errors in a police interview.

2) They are one person, and manage to fool the police into thinking they are two people, despite making elementary errors that a player looking at the footage out of context can pick up on that the police completely missed, despite actually being in the room, having physical access to the suspect, and a whole pile of information that the player doesn't get.

In both cases, the "real" reasoning is simply that the game would be rather dull if the suspect never slipped up, and therefore never gave the player any way to work anything out.

I'd also suggest that the "absurd twin magic" theory is actually the one that is most consistent with mistakes. Under this interpretation, don't forget that Eve hasn't had to impersonate Hannah for more than ten years, so it's reasonable that she'd be out of practice.
