Instead the online component affects the topography and allows you to decide if you want to use what other players have left for you to use. Most of these things that are left behind are obvious beneficial topographic improvements for you to go from A to B. However, it doesn't generally affect whether you want to plow through, or do every little side quest along the way.

What's sold me on the game is the online feature of placing stuff to help others. I was reading some people's thoughts on it and the example I found most interesting was when someone was somewhat lost on a difficult route, and they left a ladder in case someone else went on their crazy route. Then they started getting notifications that others were using it and it made them happy to help out, as well as knowing that other people went through a similar path. That's pretty cool.
The only thing I'm unsure of is how much of this game's story is rooted in horror stereotypes. It's hard to tell from what I've seen so far but I usually don't play horror games so I'd be curious to know how far down that road it goes.
