I mean, if you want to get technical about it (RE8 spoilers) Ethan Prime was actually a pretty lovely dude. Lost his wife and then died shortly after finding her. Mold Ethan is a good daddy

Ethan is pretty failboy. Constantly befuddled, loses multiple limbs and major organs, married to a literal bioterrorism seller, chooses to save her over saving the innocent girl, he's pretty much a giant mess of a dude.

That said Alan absolutely deserves to be behind him because Alan is a hot garbage fire of a man who fails to have even the successes that Ethan does and is also just the worst loving writer.

Edit: I might in fact put Alan behind James Sunderland. At least James Sunderland can blame everything on an adorable dog.

I put on this 20 minute video in between work and writing and, while it is nowhere near a good game, it's worth a quick watch because of how it manages to subvert expectations (likely by accident) at several turns:

For like 15 years I remembered the protagonist of The Room as Daniel. His name is Henry. The beige of survival horror protags.

Honestly the whole game is a vibe, especially if you gently caress with things like analog horror, the backrooms, liminal space poo poo, SCP, it's kind of a collage of all of it stuffed into a breezy survival session game, i'm super impressed with how... well it all gels together, like some cursed jello mold casserole from the 70's with lots of unidentifiable chunks in it

It's because SH4 is really Walter's story and Henry is just the guy it's happening to.
