Spewing insults, pissing off all your neighbors, betraying your allies, backing out of treaties and accords, and generally screwing over the global environment?
ALL PART OF MY BRILLIANT STRATEGY!
What was with the black egg in the chicken shed? Just a rotten egg or a CURSED HELL-EGG of some sort?

Wolfie: Give him the key, he's been nice to us so far and he calls us comrade.

Village: Kill the pig and kill anyone who gives you trouble.

Piotrek: Seems like one of the more harmless people so far, help him out. Worst that can happen is he blows himself up.

Musician: Seems like he'd be a loose end after helping Wolfie. If he gives you any guff, whack him and steal his violin.

It's a cursed hell-egg that functions identically to a regular egg but sells for a little more

I would like to see what the hell this key actually leads to before choosing who to give to if at all possible. If nothing else, I'd appreciate learning what was in there if we end up picking an option that doesn't reveal that as like, a small bonus clip or something.

Use the key ourselves. If there's a person trapped in there, we should let them choose for themselves where they're going, instead of just saying that an anthropomorphic wolf/an unhinged voyeuristic violinist can have them. If the game were really on top of things, we could use the key, and then give it to whichever person we wanted; in that case, I'd say Wolfie should probably get it.

Kill the pig. I was gonna say that it should be fed/saved, but it occurs to me that its existence is pretty horrifically lovely at this point. I don't like starving the people either, but maybe they can find somewhere else to get food? Subsist on mysteryshrooms? I dunno.

I'd also like to see kill everyone in a bonus video, but that's more morbid curiosity than anything else.

Help Piotrek. He seems decent enough, just crazy as gently caress.

Don't touch the stone at the shrine. That's messing with stuff I don't think we want to see the consequences of.

Kill the pig. The villagers are starving anyway and they seem bad? It doesn't bear thinking about what they were feeding it before. Kill as many of them as you can/need to.

Give Piotrek the parts. Why not. Might be fun? Piotrek can into space

This seems like a good plan!

An excellent point, and something that we should consider. We can totally use the key ourselves.

I was assuming we were going to do this before giving it to Wolfie? Are they mutually exclusive? If they are still give it to Wolfie, otherwise go and check things out first

Did that video not show up? It was called "alternatives", and I had it in the spoiler section.

Edit: OH NO IT DIDN'T SHOW UP! I'll re-upload that video.


But for now: if you show Piotrek's item to wolfie he says "ha ha ha what an idiot, doing errands for that idiot. OH MAN I have a great idea. Let ME see that item!"

Props once again to the localization team - in the polish, Wolfie “misremembers” Piotrek as “Pierdek”, which I BELIEVE to be “pierdola”, (a medium-severity insult, and kind of low-class, like calling somebody an rear end in a top hat) with the diminutive -ek on it.

Piotrek then would I guess be the diminutive of Piotyr, or basically “Petey” in English. It’s just a cruel little barb, and I think going with “poofter”, old-fashioned British slang for a homosexual, captures both the severity AND half-rhyme really well. I REALLY want to see how they pulled this off in the other languages. I might ask the Chinese language thread at SA for that translation.

Finally, someone is seeing the sense of not becoming the Right Paw of the Big Bad Wolf.

I vote the following:

Make a lotta shovels and Kill everyone - Piotrek mentioned there are still planes flying. The rest of the world is fine, clearly the darkwood is feeding on these brokebrained pig-worshipping idiots and their shiny stones. The only way out of here is to starve the dark monstrosity by cutting off its food. To hell with Key 21, to hell with these banal problems, you'll be doing them all a favour by scouring this blight clean.

I kind of feel sympathetic towards these people's tragedy, even though I don't understand fully what caused it (or what the hell is going on in general).

I also kind of like chicken old lady so I vote to use the key ourselves and see what's what with the imprisoned lady.

Don't touch the village stone. Maybe we later find out what it is supposed to do? But even if we don't, better not mess with their superstitions or possible effective protective spells or something.

I don't hate wolfie boy and he is useful but I don't trust him much either. And he keeps calling us "meat" which is disturbing especially in the Darkwood world. So don't show/give him Piotrek's item

Help Piotrek out with his space ship -- which unfortunately can only go wrong for him, but at least he'll be happy.

Maybe investigate further the pigsty before restoring the feeding mechanism to the mother pig. It doesn't sound like this is a normal pig anyway and it's probably best for the villagers to switch to chicken and mushrooms. So try to kite the villager away from the pigpen, and make it in to see what's up but not kill anybody

Also if there's an option, help the violin boy to fix his violin so that it won't sound depressingly terrible and nerve wrecking.

While I do want to know what's in the shed I dont think killing everyone is a good idea, these people are crazy but havent tried to kill us, lets respect that by fixing the power to the pig shed. Maybe if they have a good supply of food they might go less crazy? If we do vote to kill it then I would like us to avoid killing as many people as possible if they're actively trying to kill is then sure but we don't need more blood on our hands than necessary.

also leave the shrine alone seems kinda rude to mess with it.

I really don't like how the musician stopped stuttering when talking about the doc, If we kill the pig we should give him the meat and maybe try to get more info.

Let's give Wolf the key stuff in this place is never what it seems and while I want to see what the pretty lady looks like I'm thinking just giving the key to Wolf is the better option.


Piotrek just wants to go to space We should help him.

We should use the key ourselves and honor whatever the mystery lady's wishes are above Wolfie's and the musician's and help Piotrek. Give the musician some meat and leave the shrine be, unless we end up killing the villagers anyway then gently caress it, free loot. Abstaining from the pig pen vote.

Use the key ourselves first, unless that ruins Wolfs quest line, in which case give it to him. Might as well stay on his good side.

Doubling wholesale slaughter as a bonus vid if not at all.

"Pierdek" is something like "Farty". The word "pierdoła" comes from another, similar word "pierdolić", which usually means "to gently caress", but also "to spew nonsense". And with various prefixes added, you can also use it to say "to hit someone" (przypierdolić), "to steal something" (zapierdolić), "stop bothering someone" (odpierdolić się), "to run away" or "to gently caress something up" (spierdolić) and many other words. Wouldn't use them in a polite conversation, though.

I've been absolutely swamped with work lately and just caught up with the LP. So, some more trivia etc.

Episode 5
  • 7:10 It's a village population list.
  • 11:36 As someone already mentioned, this is a communist "motivational poster".
I think tank wrecks wouldn't be left alone during "normal times", people would just disassemble and sell them for scrap or something.

Episode 6
  • 10:13 Indeed, kwiecień = April.

Episode 7
  • 13:02 Antek is a name, shorthand/diminutive for Antoni.
  • 26:55 Kupala Night (Noc Kupały) is an old Slavic/pagan holiday celebrated during the shortest night of the year. One of the activities is floating wreaths of flowers by women which then are being captured by men. It's like magic love-finding.

Polish supercut
  • The Chicken Lady is named Baba Kura In Polish which is certainly different. Baba means "an old hag" more or less, kura is hen and Baba Kura sounds similar to Baba Jaga to me. This interpretation is interesting because Baba Jaga is known to kidnap children that are wandering the woods...
  • The woman talking to someone about a dream with her mother in the woods is, well, a woman. You can't tell in English but in Polish a lot of verbs have grammatic gender and are different depending on that.
  • The Wolf indeed calls you padlina which means "dead meat". He also talks like a very modern bloke to be honest. He's also pretty funny when he talks how he modifies some part for Piotrek that'll make him (Piotrek) probably explode.

Well, one good turn deserves another!

Though the game doesn't tell you, this is one of the two most critical times for deciding on our ending. Lots of you wanted to use the key before we decided who to give it to - almost everybody wanted to see the boy again, and to give Piotrek his stuff. Here's a mini-update that accomplishes that!

It's actually kind of close, but for now, we're going with Wolfie for the key. But we don't have to! He is... well, he's HIM.

Aw, give the musician the key and the two monstrous folk can be monsters together.

Can't fight nature, something something. We can find that doctor and get ourselves to whatever creepy fate awaits us past that locked door.

It's also interesting that they call the doctor a quack, and the doctor believes the villagers can't be saved. It seems he used to live in the village and both the doctor and the villagers had a schism where they gave up on each other due to all this tree plague business. Judging by the musician's mask, the various instructions we see, the doctor at one point did really try to help them.
