That's just his whiskey drinking pose. Are you saying you don't stand on the same place when you drink?

Episode 7 - 11 PM We're closing in on the killer, maybe? All I know is the hours seem to be getting shorter.

That night scene looked like daytime video with a blue hue filter on top of it. I mean, sure it's difficult to film in the dark and replicate what the human eye sees, but that was weird looking.

If you play the original tablet version, literally every outdoor location and scene is blue-filtered from the start. It's very distracting and makes it hard to tell just how much time has passed.

Given all the breaking and entering we are doing, and now at night times, if this took place in Texas Jenks would have been legally shot dead several times by now.

Yeah, I keep thinking how there'd be no way an American gaming audience would believe any of this taking place in the States. Unlocked cars? Openly walking into back yards? Repeat visits from police within the same hour? "Why isn't Jenks carrying a gun? Is he insane?" yes

Also some Grade A Terrible "I'M ACTING MAD" acting from Ryan. I love it.

SelenicMartian posted:This gave me an idea for a Contradiction-like in which you're a secretly insane investigator on a murder case in a tiny village, where absolutely everyone blacked out for some reason and can't remember the events immediately surrounding the murder. Then you realise the only way to solve this poo poo is to make somebody believe they did it by discreetly setting up the evidence and asking leading questions. The game's scoring system awards the most elaborate designs, with "the wife did it" being the cheapest shot while the highest ranking setup involves a trained budgie, a city-wide Rube Goldberg machine and the perp not present in the area on the day of the murder due to not having been born yet.

There are still quaint little villages in America where nobody locks any of their stuff and everybody knows about everything so they would know all about the detective wandering through their backyard. They're just a lot harder to find. A couple years ago there was a string of robberies in my grandparent's town, a couple kids just walked into everybody's house and took stuff because nobody locks their side doors.

"I wonder if he protests just a little too much..." -- or if he's been goaded well past the threshold of a nervous breakdown by an absolute lunatic in a badly-dented hat.

Episode 8 - Midnight So ends the tale of Jenks... for now. The LP isn't quite over yet. I've got at least two bonus videos in mind; one I already mentioned will be a compilation of the Chief's advice.

Aw drat, I really thought it'd be James, although for similar reasons. One hell of an abrupt ending, even with the sequel hook: here's hoping it happens, we need more Jenks and Paul.

Wow, that was a legitimately awful mystery. I was entertained the whole way through just by Jenks antics, but that was solvable in no way other than "hmmmmm who is the least obviously relevant character."

They build up all that crazy poo poo going on, and then the murder is the most mundane thing imaginable. And we had a tape clue Jenks ignored for the entire case right there.

That was extremely entertaining. Paul Darrow makes for a very plausible Satanic businessman. The ending was random, but it was always going to be. Here's hoping they get the cash for another episode

I really hope they can make a sequel of this. I loved everything about the presentation, the acting, the premise... Yeah, the ending was unsatisfying but it left me wanting to know what the hell was up with the satanic business cult and if I never find out I'll be so mad  Would never have heard of this without this LP, so thanks for making it!

What a disappointment of an ending. Everything Jenks did was basically for nothing. I did enjoy the ride though, even though the story got way out of hand at the end there.

The ending might have been a let-down but at least there was never a lack of entertaining emoting. Spending so much time building up potentially much more entertaining plot points but only for a sequel may not have been the best use of time though. The dedication right at the end caught me slightly off-guard, "Wait, is Paul Darrow dead?" Not quite used to seeing end-credit dedications to living people

Oh gently caress this game is great. It's a shame Jenks sense didn't lead me to this thread earlier. Ending was a bit left of field though and the world's most obvious sequelhook for a game with at best questionable chances of being made just hurts.

Well, due to various technical fuckups, it's only taken me three weeks and four more playthroughs of the game, but it was worth it to introduce you to the best character in the game: Bonus Episode 1 - Chief Calls Yes, at the end, the Chief is watching The Wicker Man. Apropos.

Oh my God, the poor chief. Jenks is like one of those baffled old men who go up to the counter in shops and say "This is the counter, is it? I pay here, do I? So I should give you my money, should I?"

As FMV games go it was actually pretty good and I hope it gets a sequel. Speaking of which, is the second bonus video still forthcoming?
