First steps
This title can be a bit obtuse during the first steps, so to make sure the start is as accessible as possible. In order to start the adventure, you will need various objects scattered throughout the initial area. You may not find the walkie-talkie , but it is in the trunk of a police car, on the left as you start. The next thing is to find out what the video tapes are for. They can modify the real world, so rewind until something key changes around. Don’t worry, we will explain how to solve these puzzles.
Every decision matters
Well, this is not entirely true. Not all decisions matter, but the game has several endings, and depending on what we do during our adventure, we will achieve one or the other . We will detail the endings later, but we want to warn you now that, if you are interested in achieving a particular end, you have to be careful with what you do.
Bullet, your friend and companion
Bullet, our dog, is a very important tool to progress. Her sense of smell will help us find the way and, above all, find objects, whether they are simple collectibles or others essential to advance in history. Pressing LB we can open a roulette of orders and actions, which include scolding him, asking him to stay still in a place or to walk by our side, pet him or ask him to look for something .
The one we are going to use the most is to ask you to search , since it is essential to move forward. It is a shame that Bullet does not serve to show us the way if we are lost, but the scenarios are designed so that, if we get lost, we end up going around in circles and we can try a new route.
Explore explore explore
Blair Witch is a game that we can complete getting to the point, but it is full of documents, calls and conversations that help expand the universe and, at least for many players, enjoy it more . There are no particularly long detours, so you’ll never waste a lot of time researching. Also, if there is something nearby, Bullet will find it for you.
The camera, more useful than it seems
The game starts with a flashlight, but soon after we will find a video camera with night vision, which serves a similar purpose. Both allow us to see in the dark; the flashlight is more powerful and can illuminate further, and the camera offers a greater range of vision … and allows us to see things that we cannot see with the naked eye . It is up to each player how he prefers to face the dark, and this, in fact, has an effect on the ending we achieve. We explain them to you in the next point.
Combat makes the difference
In this adventure we have two options to face the enemies . There are not many, but we are going to find a couple of moments when almost invisible creatures will get in our way. How we deal with them will help change the ending.
On the one hand, in true Alan Wake style , we can point our flashlight at them until they disappear . Basically we’re going to go around in circles until the flashlight reacts, and then set the target. Bullet will bark in the direction they are in, something that will serve as a clue.
The other option is to use the camera’s night vision and pass without being seen . It is the most difficult option, but if we manage to do it we will have achieved the first requirement to obtain the good ending: complete the game without defeating any creature of the forest.
Play with headphones
Blair Witch uses binaural sound, a technology that can reproduce three-dimensional sound. It works great, and beyond the immersion it offers, it allows us to locate sounds almost perfectly around us. For example, simply by his breathing we can know where Bullet is . The same applies to enemies or even some objects, something that can be very useful during combat.
