That it does. I got a free strategy guide for registering, too.

Anyway, in Nintendo Power it said there would be branching paths, and how the game progresses depends on how progress in the game, like who you'll meet and when. One of the more simple examples they gave after apparently playing a demo was their choice between going into a camera shop or Teresa's used clothing store. They decided on the camera shop. However, during the interview part of it, they also said that the game is supposed to get into YOUR mind, rather than just the protagonists. But perhaps they're simply trying to make branching paths sound awesome.

Something else that's pretty interesting is that before you open a door, you can simply push the door open a little bit and peak in with your flashlight. At least, the guys in Nintendo Power found it interesting.

After they entered the camera shop, they don't really find anything, so they exit through the rear entrance, where they find 3 cans. They pick up the 3 cans and shake their controllers. One of the cans makes a rattling sound from the Wii Remote (Reminds me of Zack and Wiki) and they turn the can over to find a key was stuck inside.

According to Nintendo Power, there won't be any loading screens, because the areas will be stream-loaded.
