I much prefer this to, say, Resident Evil, which is ostensibly a horror series about zombies but is in fact a slapstick comedy about an inept pharmaceutical company.

Mine is just speculation, I saw everyone else with black bars and felt left out. :v:

That reminds me, I have to post my wild speculation.

It's all a giant conspiracy by a time-traveling pharmaceutical company to research the effects of stress. The submarine, the triangles, all of it. This won't be made apparent or even hinted at until the very end, at which time it will be brought up very briefly and will not make any sense or even explain anything.

What happens if you fail the quiz? Do you fill out the hangman and get a death/game over?

The reason I ask is that failing the quiz would be an easy way to tell the overall disposition of the Reverse Dimensionals. If you fail and nothing happens, or they just make you take the test over again, they're probably not especially malevolent. If you fail and they kill you, they definitely are.

Also, minor nitpick with the game, but no submarine has ever been crewed entirely by officers. That submarine probably had more like 12 officers/73 enlisted or something, not 85 officers.

Fake edit: Actually, if I'm correctly remembering when it sunk, it would probably have had more like 6 officers, 54 enlisted.

I think it's important and mysterious that they mention "12 passengers" among the dead, as in 12 extra people people in addition to the crew, whom they do not identify. It would be rare for a submarine to have non-crew on it.

Real edit: The submarine schematic/crew numbers are anachronistic and probably not intended to be scrutinized too closely beyond the important red square around "COMMS". The submarine in question sank during or just after WWII, right?

I just finished #4, and I don't think Alex and Jonas are giving Ren a fair shake. For all we know, his heroic marijuana consumption shielded his mind from Clarissa-type zombification/possession. Ren understands the importance of keeping his mind limber in these trying times, and we could all learn a lot from him :colbert:

Take the deal

I'm proud of you, goons.

We reject the deal, and save Clarissa

Are you implying that you are not proud of the goons who advocated taking the deal? Because I can assure you, we Take Dealers are all the best kind of people who have only the purest and best thought out motivations

For example, I advocated taking the deal because:

1) I prefer Possessed Clarissa to Normal Clarissa
2) These ghosts are technically war veterans. Support our troops, guys, c'mon.

Can you go through a number of times in New Game+ mode and eventually get a "you broke out of the loop" ending if you say the right things in the right order in the mirror, and then follow your own advice in the subsequent play through?
