Any full playthroughs online yet?

So I really want to know exactly where the plot goes because I've heard some extremely crazy claims about how I.V changes up the story, but I haven't been able to find any gameplay footage beyond the first few chapters. No streams on twitch or youtube, just a single video of what is allegedly the final boss with the description that makes a lot of claims about the story.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a full playthrough of the game so I can make my own judgements on the plot? Don't really have the time to invest on going through the whole thing myself at the moment.

I saw Kov doing one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERAuraSqVl8
Incomplete but I think its at chapter 5 or so.

I know the video you are talking about, and I HIGHLY disagree with what they have to say about it lol. A lot of the things they say are "retcons" or whatever are things present in the 1.0 story. My friend Hellkrai made a series analyzing 1.0 that showed you how to get to a lot of these conclusions. 1.5 is just a lot more blatant with it.

Yeah, the claims that video made were so caustic that I didn't feel comfortable taking them at face value. In particular the claims that Alex is rebranded as a mute autistic (since they couldn't/wouldn't get more dialogue from Chris Niosi) and he sexually assaults Rory and Michael were both deeply troubling and so absurd I wanted further confirmation. And in particular being an autistic person myself I wanted to be 100% sure that wasn't an exaggeration because if that's true I'm gonna be REALLY upset. :V

Oh yeah those were weird too. I'm guessing the autistic comment is about some of the new scenes where Alex doesn't say anything, or a scene way later in the game where it shows Alex as a child, and he doesn't talk... but that's probably has to do with them being a literal baby child lol. I also don't get the other part either, it seems like an exaggerated claim. Where Alex attempts to kiss Rory at an inappropriate moment, which Rory denies. Which was apart of the original. And a NPC talking about how Alex once tried to kiss Michael. I guess it's weird but it the language used in the description implies it to be this really graphic thing when its not.

Thanks for the upload! Do you have any idea what happens if you choose to absolve Alex before Michael in the ending? Both playthroughs I've seen take the other option.

Michael takes exception to that and shoots everyone, camera included. Credits roll, and the game asks if you'd like to try again, which will cause a retry of the final boss.
