While still not a traditionalResident Evil game,Resident Evil 7s demo is more layered than we originally thought. Its providing mysteries that are quite appealing, we quite readily admit.
As such, we thought wed lay out the endings weve experienced, alongside tips on how to achieve them.
Spoilers obviously lay ahead.
Endings
These are sort of spoiler free if you want to try them yourself.
Linear Find the bolt cutter, find the tape, find the key and then leave the house. Video here.
The first call Find the fuse, go up the fuse-driven stairs, answer the phone. Video here.
The second call A mix of the first Follow #1 but dont try to leave the house. Then do #2 and answer the phone. The phone conversation is different. Video here.
The third call Wake up, run as fast as you can to get the fuse and go upstars, Get up the stairs WITHOUT THE MANNEQUINS TURNING AROUND TO LOOK AT YOU, you get a third new message. (Thanks, Moon Moon!)
Not quite endings, but weird stuff / Puzzles not figured out yet
This happens in the VHS portion of the demo its creepy. See her? That same ghost girl appears a couple other times. You can also find a Ghost girl in 3 different parts when you go back in time with the VHR. To trigger that you need to walk slowly behind the guy when Andre disappears, she appears completely random in one of the three places, The first one is up the stairs, the second is in the doll Room, and the third one is exactly when you go downstairs. (Thanks, Moon Moon!)
That same girl ghost also appears outside.
Theres a lockpick near the microwave in the VHS portion of the demo. It unlocks a small drawer in the kitchen that provides an axe in the present-day though no one can figure out what exactly it does. Video here.
The axe can be used to break boxes on the second level of the house, and boxes near the telephone too. The only mannequin that can be destroyed is the one near the phone; the ones on the second level are seemingly invulnerable. Why?
Try playing the piano. You know, for kicks.
The photo near the phone has a caption that reads, Are they watching us from that helicopter when you turn it over. What does it mean?
Observation: It doesnt seem like items obtained in one time period will remain in your inventory in another. Are we wrong?
Observation: A number of people think the person on the other end of the phone call is none other than Ada Wong what do you think?
Observation: If you answer the phone, then manage to finnagle yourself down the stairs without getting piched in the head by the hillbilly, then the 3 mannequins near the wall that were originally facing away from the wall are now all facing towards the wall. probably insignificant? (Thanks, Mike!)
Observation: You can stop the VHS recording through the pause menu. Doing so blocks you from getting the back door key.
Its themannequin finger thats really bugging us.
If you have encountered other endings or mysterious things, let us know how to achieve or find them in the comments below.
