Debug Camera

Final builds of the game feature the same debug camera which is present in E3 Trial Version on pad_x=10, although lacking the information text overlay. Debug camera operates in three modes: "CYLINDER FOR DEBUG", "FREE FOR DEBUG" and "SELFVIEW FOR DEBUG". On PC versions enabling "SELFVIEW FOR DEBUG" mode outright crashes the game.

SCENE_45		My dearest Laura, I'm leaving this letter with Rachel to give to you after I'm gone. I'm far away now. In a quiet, beautiful place. Please forgive me for not saying goodbye before I left. Be well, Laura. Don't be too hard on the sisters. And Laura, about James... I know you hate him because you think he isn't nice to me, but please give him a chance. It's true he may be a little surly sometimes, and he doesn't laugh much. But underneath he's really a sweet person. Laura... I love you like my very own daughter. If things had worked out differently, I was hoping to adopt you. Happy 8th birthday, Laura. Your friend forever, Mary	An audio file of Mary narrating her letter to Laura as she does for her letter to James.

Regional Differences

Title Screen

North American	European

The North American release's title screen is similar to the Xbox version, where as the European "Director's Cut" version displays the logo in red with the subtitle "Director's Cut" behind a black background with the in-game font used for the menu options.
