I'm paraphrasing it from Packing for Mars by Mary roach, but I recall NASA/some space program did some testing on cleanliness and clothing. In one attempt, astronauts in training would only wear one set of clothing and not shower or change clothing for about 3 or so months. By the end of the test the clothing was literally rotting off their bodies, and the smell.... Well, it was the opposite of pleasant. So yay for realism in the game, I guess. I just thought I'd throw out why Nina is changing her clothes so much. Also loving thank you for speeding this up. Good lord what an unbearable game.

I mean, REALISM is nice and all but it hasn't even been 3 days in-game yet. As for speed up, yeah I should've done it sooner but I was learning a new editing program while making these videos. Episodes 3-6 should've really been compressed into two episodes instead. But oh well, more knowledge for next time.

This is the final video of session 2. This video may require you to actually watch it with your eyeballs, instead of just listening to it in another tab and remembering all your mistakes like how I do. EDIT: For the record, the frame rate issues at the end of this session and the end of session 1 (episode 7) were caused by the same thing. At the end of session 1, I'd noticed I'd been recording to my main hard drive, which meant the frame rate and runtime problems were being caused by my computer running out of space while we were playing. I had attempted to redirect FRAPS to record in a different hard drive for session 2, but it... didn't, for some reason. So the problems this episode are caused by my computer running out of space during play, again. So that is one problem that probably isn't the game's fault at all. Just to give Arctic Alive a completely fair shake. gnome7 fucked around with this message at 23:37 on Jul 17, 2016 |

Oh. OH. This is what you mean. I feel like the previous episode's title portended this. I do watch the videos tucked to one side of my screen because I think it's funny how your frustration pours through the screen through cursor jiggling, etc. But this. This is next level poo poo. Well that's just the joy of playing things blind! Or as Supergreatfriend says 'bumbling through [video game]'. In summary: this game posted:This frame rate

My fingers are incredibly short and stubby, we call them sausage fingers. Reaching ctrl on my keyboard while using the WASD keys sounds awful, it's clearly short fingers discrimination. I feel your pain, gnome. You're still much taller than me, though, so I don't think I can make short jokes.

Gnome, how are you possibly having so much trouble holding down the control key while moving? I want to see what your hand positioning looks like. Also, does anybody remember/know what we're even collecting the artifacts for?

I think the artifacts are for the flying saucer. (Something about the hot/cold tank is supposed to restore the liquid people, or stop us from becoming one, or help us make friends with the bears?) The real reason we're getting them is that it is necessary. At least for now.

Kangra posted:I think the artifacts are for the flying saucer. Umm... after reading all the page diaries thus far, It seems to be the opposite, actually. What I've been able to piece together despite the google translation: We're one of the test subjects, designated B2. We and the other one, B1, have been kept here drugged and locked up. The whole facility, possibly military, was set up for the purpose of testing the converter, which is powered by the artifacts. I think it is implied that they didn't invent the machine themselves, but rather received (or perhaps found) the blueprints for it and the detector from somewhere. Might be the UFO connection. Once they're gathered enough artifacts, subject B1 has been put into the converter, and transformed into a liquid man. He was discovered to be both extremely hostile and virtually immortal, upon receiving injurly liquefying into a puddle of black goo harmful to anyone who comes into contact with it, only to reform some time later. Following the first experiment, the station has become isolated from the outside world- the communication is cut off and going beyond a certain distance from the station kills you. Resources started to grow thin and they were running out of sedatives to keep us drugged up, which is bad because the cook had to enter the holding cell to bring us food (this is my best attempt at figuring out what "the cook should be in a cage, wearing food" means). New artifacts kept popping up, however, and more and more members of the station personnel unexplainably started expressing the desire to use the device. The diary did not mention having to deal with multiple shadowmen so I assume they didn't go through it immediately. The aforementionned cook made a noise near the liquid guy like a doofus and got his neck snapped. They buried him outside the station, but they forgot to take the key to our cell from his body. At one point, the hunter who was supplying the sation with fish witnessed an UFO , and, terrified by it, ran into the facility and used the device. By the time the last page was written, all personnel but one have converted. The author leaves one final message, addressing either us or whoever finds the facility, half warning half taunting us that before long, we'll follow them and turns into a shadow man himself. A short time later the drugs wear out, we wake up and the game starts.

So uh, that certainly happened. Yessiree bob. I feel like it was trying to be one of those short horror films on YouTube that are made scary by the fact that nothing is explained (although the only one that comes to mind is Pictured)...but it ended up being ridiculous because no one explains what's going on AT THE PRESENT MOMENT and it's never made clear.

The pause between Fae finishing speaking about UFOs, and Gnome's brain catching up is just beautiful. Aww this was a nice ending. I'm glad we're going home  That was a good ending because otherwise what else could happen? Military dropping by? Or Nina starving to death? And holy gently caress those statistics! 'Stain pants' = zero. Well played, Gnome. You did not poo poo Nina's pants. I want to know what shedding tears means.Mraagvpeine posted:This was... some game.

Maybe Mars Needs Women, and they put the converter there until they could finally capture a shadowgirl. But in the sequel Nina takes over the ship and brings the cook back to life to team up and wear food together.

I just realized that the 'nina crying' on the end game results stats is probably what happens if you never take the anti depressants. Man, I thought the UFO would go to a wild amazing planet. Turns out they just need more janitors. Oh well, it's a living. Crazed laughter is the best way to end every LP Thanks again for sharing this wild ride with the rest of us!

It only struck me now that the plot was explained that in "the cook should be wearing food", "wear" is basically the same word in Polish as "carry" ("nosić"). So yeah, the cook was probably just bringing food to subjects. I don't know about Russian, but it's the same family of languages, so it might also be similar. For that matter, "turn on"/"activate" can also be the same word as "include" ("włączyć"), hence the "Including generator" prompt you got after filling the tank with a fuel. Thank you for getting through this crazy game and showing it off even despite its protests, it's been great.

Oh yeah, thanks for the LP of this crazy diamond of a game. Honestly, as far as horror games on Steam go, this had a potential to be good, if not passable. As it stands right now, the only thing it has going for it is its mistranslations, in that you can get around and do stuff, but if you want to know the whys, though poo poo. That said, if I had the means to direct changes, I would definitively add more ways to deal with/distract the bears and the shadow boys, but I'm not sure what else to change.
