To buzz anyone because fuck it. So, a week ago, had this fucking wild nightmare. For any nerds that play Alien: Isolation, I was doing a no death run, and rather than restarting after my first failure, I kept going...but that's when everything turned really south. After my one and only canonical death, some doors that, were never able to be opened, suddenly were accessible. Like doors in certain places I perfectly remember not being able to pass through were suddenly up. I then went exploring, but it felt off. I found that my game had, a new set of audio logs, 5 new Archive Logs were added to my explorable inventory. When I played each one, the area was suddenly getting cut off, shrinking what was accessible. The NPC's, enemy or not, started running, hiding. The Alien itself dropped from the vents, and it ran past me, past the people. All of them were trying to run, hide. This was some kind of, unbeatable QTE. Just, survive until you, don't. Every glance I made on my tracker, half of any of the 4 directions were obscured, a singular, unstable signal was closing in. Whenever it got to someone, they'd freeze, their body's vanished a frame after, but their screams echoed and exponentially increased in volume, and not just the people, the Android, the Creature...and then me. And once I was found...done. Back to it like nothing happened. I'd never know which unescapable QTE hid in the Archive logs until it was too late. Once I was on the last mission, on the Torrens, there was no last Alien...I went up to the bridge, Verlaine was gone. I went the the MUTHUR unit, special order 707 was issued, "You Fail, I Fail". Every console glitched, obscured, the abyss of space outside the bridge glitched too...I was able to undo my suit and proceed to the airlock...the closer I got, the louder the endless cries of those taken ensued...until I ejected myself, the game ended. Every time I started those unique QTE's, I could hear spots theme...I haven't slept well, or at all since then
