I just noticed that in the last scene a door is being forced open while the first scene portrays a door being fixed. I'm still trying to get a read on the janitor. I also have a sneaking suspicion that the choices for the expository text may subtly alter the game, ditto which of the two investigation are pursued.

I think I figured it out. Most of it anyway. This includes information revealed in Longest Night, so I'll spoiler tag. If you played Longest Night, you may recall the constellation Ibon, the first singer. Depicted in the attic of the historical society, Ibon is a goat. Since it's a constellation, it's mostly black. According to the myth, Ibon wanted to teach the fish to sing. For this reason, Ibon took away the water. At the park with Angus, he and Mae mention fossils of sea creatures found on land. Angus explains that long ago the entire area was underwater. It's mentioned elsewhere that Possum Springs is located in a valley so it's plausible that the area could've once been an ancient lake. I'm not yet certain what Ibon is/was but if Ibon is/was a celestial body that fell to Earth and produced a big hole, that's probably where the water went. Air currents across and into(possibly out of) the hole would produce a sound not entirely unlike singing, which is mentioned several times throughout the game. The parts I haven't figured out: - The origin of the myths (I have little beyond speculation) - The significance of the Janitor - The dream animals - Ibon's nature and relation to other constellations I'm considering going through again, this time through a lens of Carl Sagan/Joseph Campbell.

McFrugal posted:I noticed something odd. If you don't choose some dialogue options, the game still acts like you did. For instance, you can tell the rude neighbor that you're the new Mayor and your dad will call you Mayor later that night. If you choose the other option, your dad STILL calls you Mayor. The same thing happens with the (unavoidable, fyi; someone was asking about that earlier) fight with Mom. She quotes you saying college wasn't where you needed to be, even if you didn't choose that option. I hand-waved the first example as being either (A)something she was known for saying as a kid or (B)an example of Mae and her dad having similar senses of humor. The second example can be explained away as paraphrasing. My first time through I had a lingering doubt for most of the game regarding whether or not the school burned down.

I think the game's unconventional save mechanic is thematically significant. You make decisions and they result in meaningful experiences. Yes, you mill miss out on some things, but that's okay.

I finished watching Slowbeef's play through. I think that investigating first with Angus kept him from doing Legends. Gregg said he couldn't hang out because it was date night. EDIT: Now that I think about it, it might be because he went with Bea on the first two days, so there would be almost no context for the robot. eatenmyeyes fucked around with this message at 05:33 on Mar 19, 2017 |

McFrugal posted:I don't think that's true, actually. Gregg still steals the robot and battery without your help (though I wonder how he gets the robot upstairs), and Angus will still surely chew him out for that. In the end Mae has very little influence on Gregg and Angus. You probably could have phrased that differently.

Someone said Anguses event but I did that and there is no windmill related stuff in it Repeatedly jumping while standing beside one makes it launch a helicopter thing.

I've been mulling over Angus's reaction to the cave in. I have the impression that his history of unanswered appeals to higher powers and the cult's accounts of productive prayer might have resulted in a combination of sympathy and contempt in Angus. I'm still trying to unpack and articulate some of it.

Onomarchus posted:Was the reason Gregg called himself parking lot trash compared to Angus because he grew up as one of only a couple of gays in a small town? That's the only reason I could find for it. My impression is that he's a dirt bag/lowlife, which isn't to say he's a bad person. He's fond of the simple things: breaking poo poo, making noise, being needlessly reckless, etc. You probably knew someone like that in school.

RedMagus posted:I don't normally read KS updates once I have the product, but if you were a backer, definitely check out #81 for NitW. It's been very good to read it, and I think at some point all of us have asked both "Is Mae going to be ok?" and "Is Mae a good person?" during our playthroughs. Is there any way to buy access or has that ship sailed?

Larryb posted:A sequel at some point would be nice as well though I'm not really sure where they could take the story from here (the cult is gone and Mae has at least started down the road to recovery). I am kind of curious how much in the way of new content there is in this version (some of the stuff shown in the trailer looks neat though). The story stands on its own. It had a message and delivered it beautifully. Another story from the same team would be welcome if it measured up to NitW, but that seems like a lot to ask. It's not implausible that the mine had another exit.

Larryb posted:It might have been nice if it unlocked like a chapter select or something after finishing the game once so you don't have to replay the entire story just to see one or two new things. I think something like that might undermine the narrative aspect of the game. The individual choices color the story. Also, it was fun to pick new dialogue on the replays.
