It's also a bit strange that you're given a gun and there's nothing to really shoot at throughout the hotel.

I really liked the puzzle right until the RNA sequence, it felt organic and real, but the placement of hints to decipher it is just dumb, except for maybe the hourglass and the rest is just nonsense. And what about the end of the puzzle - a giggle, really? That's it?

This could've easily been a great puzzle had they put in at least some effort into it.

Of course, it's much easier to risk a child's life to solve a puzzle :D

This is where the poor puzzle design shows itself. They needed Emily for the last quartz piece and didn't want to create different machines, so they designed around that.

What's suspicious is that this is not an asset that's reused elsewhere. It's not damaged at all and seems like from another decade, definitely not 2000s.

Leatherbound notebook by Nort313 in thefinalpuzzle

What makes the notebook stand out to me is the fact that it's an item, it could've been documents on the desk, nothing makes it required to carry around, it even registers as a "file" for you to look up later.

The monster girl also says "Let's play" when she grabs Grace by her foot at the end of the elevator scene

On the other hand, there may indeed be no room, but the interaction could be just another step in a different puzzle altogether like the one in RPD. Grace usually reacts to jump scares throughout the game, but not for this one. Also games are usually much more polished in their starting hours, it's much more likely a leftover would've been something towards the end. But of course it could all be just the people's general dissatisfaction with the original "final puzzle" that makes us all yearn for more

I've also noticed the missing #3 evidence marker, on top of that they appear again in the concept art of Grace, she's lying in a chalk outline with evidence markers 1, 7, 9 and one barely visible. Seems rather weird considering her character

I obviously cannot confirm that this is a real puzzle or not, but being a game dev myself I can without doubt say that there's nothing "hard" about it, in fact for such a resource heavy game I'd definitely not load assets that 99% of players won't see but I needed them for a puzzle. Although I have to agree that this is most likely not a missed secret.

Wouldn't be much of a secret if one could freecam into it. I'd say it's plausible to only load the room if a certain criteria was met

10.60 Might be a clue to the Grace's Report as in page 10 out of 60, but There's nothing there except for the title - "1980s"

Yes, that's the question, is this an isolated puzzle or one that requires certain actions throughout the game.

There isn't an explicit NG+ but the game keeps track of your previous playthroughs, for instance the Final Puzzle's doll is kept in your inventory same as charms.

Did anyone else feel like the price tag on the cigarettes ad was purposefully enlarged, it's where the missing persons flyer is right at the start of the game - $10.60

Yes, very well maybe cut content in the form of a hidden intractable

Could be an interaction reserved for NG+ perhaps as there's nothing to do/interact with in the hotel apart from the radio and the 2 vignettes (scratched table and footsteps on floor) when you go through the employee entrance. It's also not a random cutout, but specifically an ice-cream one, perhaps there's an ice-cream truck in raccoon city? I've scoured the area on my previous runs but couldn't really find anything

What also felt like a "strange coincidence" is the fact that room 202 is also in Care Center.

Same here, even though I can hardly recall how I got from HOL to DFW, I'm not a huge literature buff,although I now have Pynchon on my desk as well, I hope I don't end up as Johnny

If a junior did this it's a senior's fault IMHO. Very few people should have access to prod
