The empty hotel quite rightly feels old and full of memory, its foreboding walls, rooms, and corridors could tell a thousand stories. Undoubtedly, this is a game dripping with atmosphere, through some very well-considered design decisions. You begin to accidentally uncover clues that feel out of place, that confuse and challenge Nicole’s perspective of what happened in her past. As you search more of the hotel, the mundane tasks of securing food and lighting quickly escalate as you begin to unravel more of your family’s past and how it is interwoven with Rachel’s before her death. But The Suicide of Rachel Foster feels equal parts horror and mystery to set up more of an exploration-thriller than anything else. Wandering around a large abandoned building alone is a pretty well-traveled narrative trope, particularly in horror games. Her only contact with the outside world is via one of the first mobile phones, which keeps her in touch with Irving, a FEMA agent tasked with helping her through the transaction. As the new owner, Nicole travels to the hotel to inspect it, with a view to selling, only to get trapped alone there due to a pretty nasty snowstorm. Not because her upbringing was hard or painful, far from it, but more so the tragic events that resulted in her abrupt departure ten years ago: the suicide of Rachel Foster. It is a place of childhood memories for Nicole, that she’d rather forget. The death of her mother sees her become the owner of the family hotel, The Timberline, high up in the mountains. Set in the early 90s, the protagonist of this tale is Nicole, a young woman who has lost both of her parents. Remember, you don’t have to go through things alone. It’s a message I would echo as well before we continue, given the serious nature of the plot.
Every time you begin a new session, there’s advice to seek help and reach out to others for support if you are struggling. It’s clear from the outset, there is a respect here for the topic at hand, and how the raw story they wish to tell could affect people. The Suicide of Rachel Foster is fairly blunt as titles go, though the approach by One O One Games is anything but. As long as the appropriate steps are taken to respect the subject matter and those who may be affected by it. It took three hours to render and five hours to upload.I’m a firm believer that any subject matter can be covered in the medium of video games. This video exceeds three hours and that means it's my longest serious video yet.
I did this because the point of the video is to be a helpful and thorough guide and not a demonstration of skills. This playthrough was done on an emulator with save-states between every level, so even though it looks like it, it's not a single segment run. You do have to be close in some levels, though. First of all because I'm simply not that good, but it also shows that you don't need to be perfect in order to get platinums. Overall, my time trials are far from perfect and there are two reasons for that.
If you play the NTSC version, you will automatically get platinum on Hot Coco and Eggipus Rex, but my times are within the PAL platinum requirements. In order to get the final gem from Coco and finish the game 105%, you need to have gold or better on all the time trials. Both endings are shown.ģ5:19 - Deep Trouble (crystal & both gems)ġ:08:29 - Tomb Wader (crystal & both gems)ġ:13:27 - Sphynxinator (crystal & both gems)ġ:24:00 - Flaming Passion (crystal & both gems)ġ:27:53 - Gone Tomorrow (crystal & both gems)Ģ:52:34 - Area 51? (both gems & time trial) No shortcuts are taken and all bonus room entrances are used.
#The suicide of rachel foster platinum trial#
I play through the entire game from start to finish, and I collect every single gem, crystal and platinum time trial relics on the way. As the title suggests, this is a full 105% walkthrough of Crash Bandicoot 3.
