    it'll probably take some time for sure. however there's actually a chapter 
select feature that could be used. the game isn't as interactive as it seems at 
first glance. by that I mean there aren't actually an unlimited amount of 
possibilities in the game. the story follows a linear path, and if you try 
deviating from it the game won't let you and you'll eventually arrive at the 
exact same situation. it probably doesn't make much sense now, but once you 
complete the game a few times you'll understand what I'm referring to, and 
choices that'll make big impacts on the story will be quite obvious.

   Be patient and give it some time.  I'm sure there will be some.  There was 
one for Riviera.  If not well then we may just have to do one ourselves.  
Although if I do take up that task, I won't be able to be very quick about 
this.  My time is very limited.  That would also involve me seeing every path 
in the game which would also take some time.

    Hmm. okay. I'll indeed try to make an effort. Haven't found a real good FAQ 
yet, just "follow the prompts on the screen" ones. On GameFAQs are just trophy 
Guides now, two of them which have the same content, but yeah. Not very helpful 
ones out at the moment.

      Okay let me clarify here.  This game is not unplayable it's not beyond 
the realm of being playable for you guys.  If you find a FAQ with all the 
button combos they do not change.  As for the timings you would have to figure 
those out on your own as per usual with these things.  It's not like you'll be 
stuck people.  This game plays on regardless of what happens you will never be 
stuck.  You will need help but I don't think it goes beyond anything other than 
finding an FAQ.  If a guy can get help playing legend of zelda which is way 
harder than the stuff you have to do in heavy rain, i would say this would be a 
cakewalk.  I've been helping brandon play parts of heavy rain I've even failed 
at parts in heavy rain such as the drawing of the sketch in the first chapter.  
Some doors I can't open so I have brandon do it for me.  Come on people be open 
minded and actually try here.  Make an effort.

        This is why I don't buy too many games like this. I don't have someone
        around to help me all the time, so there's no point. Plus, I pretty
        much told you that this wasn't very playable on your own. Buyer
        beware.
