Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Dual Shock Ver. different from the original?
This version adds PlayStation DualShock controller support with rumble feedback during combat, cutscenes, and environmental events. It also includes analog stick controls and a new "Beginner Mode" with extra ammo and health items.

Can I play as both Chris and Jill in one playthrough?
No, you must complete the game with one character to unlock the other's campaign. Each character has unique weapons, story elements, and difficulty variations – Jill has more inventory space but fewer weapons, while Chris has stronger firearms but limited slots.

Why are the controls so tank-like?
The deliberate tank controls (turn then move) create tension by limiting mobility, forcing strategic positioning during combat. This design choice amplifies the horror experience by making encounters feel more threatening and deliberate.
