I talked to her and listened to her poems every day which really set that up so well. I did too, so I didn't know this until someone told me, but you need to listen to her for her to do that. If you don't listen to her poems she won't be there. You listening to her every day gave her the confidence to go out and do that. And yeah, that moment was great.

Somberbrero posted:this writing is very good. I like it a lot but I think the game really suffers from not having voice acting since the text bubbles limit the amount of onscreen text so drastically. Sometimes a character will say something and its impossible to tell if its sarcastic or heartfelt until 3 or 4 lines later. Makes for a jarring experience.

I like the writing but I can't find the last lantern in the train/roof top sequence? Also I've looked for text walkthroughs but all I can find are LPs.

I get some weird framerate stuff in the urevolution and the thing above the foodcourt in the mall but other than those couple of places it seems fine, playing it on a dual core pentium with no graphics card on my htpc since i figured it wouldnt be too demanding but maybe ill try streaming it from my desktop and see if that changes anything RightClickSaveAs posted:Same here, I have an i5 and an older video card and it looks great.

Just finished the game. I loving loved this game jesus christ. There's probably a handful of things I missed, there's several blank or barely covered pages in the journal but that's okay. I'm so loving extremely relieved that the big mystery isn't some normal mundane bullshit or like some big misunderstanding that isn't as weird as it seems. I completely hated the ending of Firewatch because of this, and I hated the ending of Ethan Carter because oh it turns out it was all a dream or something. No this was for real straight up a death cult that was actually stealing people and murdering them for a god they thought they were appeasing. I mean in the end it wasn't really supernatural either, but it was still some really hosed up poo poo that was happening. The writing was so so good. The complaints I do have about the game are pretty minor and didn't really detract from it that much. I thought the dream sequences, while cool at first, became a bit slow and running around to get the four... ghosts? became really tedious really quickly. I also would've liked the characters to change their expressions when they would talk. ESPECIALLY with Bea because she goes through a huge range of emotions and you get that from the text bubbles but you don't get that from the actual face, which is always the same "whatever" face so it's a little jarring. Likewise I loved the interactions between Mae and her mom but the faces always looking completely static took me out of it a bit. Man was the dialogue good though so I can only complain about that so much. I still think it's really really interesting how many of Mae's dialogue options are just "pick this lovely thing to say or this lovely thing to say". I wish I had spent a bit more time with Gregg cause he rulz ok, but I was just completely enthralled with the story of Mae and Bea. The entire party that happens 2 hours outside of town is SO good. edit: I guess the dude does teleport to you at the end so maybe something supernatural was going on, but the whole cosmic horror thing still didn't feel like it was real when Mae encountered it at the end. The death cult was just a bunch of lunatics. Was I supposed to take it to mean that whole thing was real too and not just some hallucination? edit: Watching the trailer in the OP again, I definitely didn't do the knife fight or the deer hunting???

Bea and Angus in particular don't change expression much (Bea smiles in the mall fountain scene for I think the only time in the game) but a lot of the other main character have plenty of expressions, they're just more subtle (usually small mouth movements).

Looking back, Mae talks in that quirky-geeky humourous way that you see in a lot of indie games but what's great is that she would talk like that. Very believable. And no one else has that level of petty cutesiness I love good character voice

Mae emotes a lot, Angus a fair amount too, Bea not often but it's super-obvious when she does, and Angus gets some subtle expressions here and there. More minor characters don't emote as much, but you can notice it for some if you look.Macaluso posted:edit: Watching the trailer in the OP again, I definitely didn't do the knife fight or the deer hunting??? I think those are things you do with Gregg; almost every day you get a chance to do something with him or Bea, before heading home for the day. You can't see everything in one playthrough.

Angus emotes via his ears, it's super cute. My favourite character animation thing is that Bea sleeps with a lot cigarette in her mouth. The cigarette also pays off really well in the dark bit at the end I thought.

I enjoyed this game and if for some reason you're reading this message and are thinking about getting an engrossing adventure game-ish game that's heavy on the story, then uh. I liked it a lot, and wanna play through it again sometime soon to see a different angle of its dialogue. Easily became one of my many, many lifetime favorites. You should buy it, random forums dude.

Just started my second playthrough this morning, going to try to see the dialogue I missed the first time around. Of course three seconds after starting my second run I realize I forgot the order I did everything in the first time, so... Oops. Seriously though, I know it's been said a lot in this thread already- buy this game. Yes, it really is that good.

Yeah, the only warning i have about the game is that it isn't really a straight-up mystery, and if you go in expecting that you're going to be disappointed. The mystery stuff is mostly an allegory for the struggles faced by mae and the town.

This doesn't seem to be catching fire with those communities the way games like Life is Strange and Undertale did. Not sure why, maybe it's because it kind of snuck out without much fanfare.

No Trace of tenderness softened the harsh pressure of his mouth on hers... there was only a savagely punishing intentess of purpose that cut off the breath until her sense reeled and her body sagged against the granite hardness of his, he released her wrists, seeming to know that they would hang helplessly at her sides, and his hand moved to the small of her back to exert a pressure that crushed her soft outlines to the unyielding dominance of his and left her in no doubt as the force his masculinity. The books uphold the values of their readers who share this fear of break-ing social codes, but behind these reassur-ingly familiar restraints they celebrate a wild, eager sexuality which flourish and is finally affirmed in "marriage," which Parisi sees as mainly a code word for "gently caress."

Oxxidation posted:This doesn't seem to be catching fire with those communities the way games like Life is Strange and Undertale did. Not sure why, maybe it's because it kind of snuck out without much fanfare. Lotta reasons why. It's a light platformer with minigames done in vector graphics that doesn't evoke the same kind of rabid nostalgia a pixel art JRPG with bleep bloop music does with certain crowds, or is as immediately grabbing as a full 3D, fully voice acted adventure game. It came from relatively unknown developers as opposed to something with the backing of Square Enix (Life is Strange) or was developed by one of the lead musicians for Homestuck (Undertale). It had a long development time where probably most of the initial hype died off years before the game was released. And, it's also pretty grounded compared to the other two. It has supernatural fuckery going on, but the bulk of the game is spending time with regular people dealing with real problems in a straight forward fashion. Life is Strange you're rewinding time all over the place, and Undertale the entire cast is basic rear end anime archetypes that are easily quotable and the game is built around meta shenanigans.

I think I liked Undertale's raw gameplay a bit better. I view the platforming and minigames in NitW are mostly there for pacing's sake. I found it a lot more fulfilling both on the characterization and narrative side. (I thought UT had some fun characterization, but I just didn't feel what others did on the emotional level.)

I mean I would compare NitW to Firewatch before comparing it to Undertale. They're only really similar in terms of being indie games.
