Man I loved this game to bits; the art style and Kyle's winning personality in particular won me over. I got right up to endgame and then got distracted, and never finished it. Judging by other replies in this thread, it was a common fate. As long as you get a nice clean, non-artifacted shot of the best line in the game regarding acquisition of a certain office supply, I deem this LP a success.

Update sometime this afternoon. I know I said a double update, but I decided it was more important to work on just getting back on track rather than spreading myself thin.

 Music - Monochrome  So, we could go right up the stairs, but this vending machine has something interesting for us.  There's a flyer on the side! --Join the Hunt!-- Find the seven lucky numbers hidden in this hotel. Calculate the sum of the nubers and put it into the machine for a prize. Get lucky for just 25 cents! Wow, you could get a lot for a quarter back then. That song's a dollar 9 on iTunes nowadays.  And on the other side is our first lucky number!  +25! We should make a note of that!  Clicking the notebook icon in an investigation screen will bring up Kyle's notebook, where you can make your own notes. This can be quite helpful, as a lot of times you'll have appointments at certain times of the night and it can serve as a reminder of what you need to do. Also it's hard to write with a mouse, okay? So when we head to the stairs...   (Dunning said something while I was checking in...) Yer name really Kyle Hyde? Huh. Yeah, sure, forget about it. (I wonder why my name got that reaction.)This is just saying that we missed asking Dunning about the previous Kyle Hyde.  But let's head to the stairs.  Yeah, Kyle.    Kyle and a kid. This is gonna end well. Music - Pink Rabbit   What? You're blocking the stairs, kid. Move it. (So this is how it's going to be...) Kyle is brusque, but not a complete jerk. What's the problem? I'm playing. Playing? This ain't a sandbox, kid. Oh, you're absolutely pleasant, ya rugrat. Smart kid. Glad we agree. Now get out of my way. She's not moving. Where'd you come from? What's your name? What was that, kid?  You won't tell me? That's what my mom taught me. She said I should never tell strangers my name. Especially jerks. Got an answer for everything, huh kid? You keep this up and we're gonna have trouble. I'm not going to put up with your crap. Kyle Hyde you are in your thirties and being outwitted by this small girl. You want to know? Maybe I'll call Dunning and have him give you the bum's rush. Maybe I'll call your mom and tell her that her kid's a drat terror. Hey, kid. Again, she's just a kid. So where's your mom? She's not here. What, you're not traveling with her?She nods in an animation so slight I'm not gonna bother giffing it.  Why won't you move? If there's a good reason, just tell me. I... I can't finish it. Can't finish what? I can't finish my puzzle.]Music - Hitting the Pavement There was a question section here that I missed, but it basically amounts to Kyle asking "What puzzle?" A puzzle? How's a puzzle stop you from moving? I... I can't finish it. It's almost done, but... (This kid's a loon.) This isn't the place to be working on a puzzle. Go to your room or the car or a freeway or something. My dad says I make too much noise. That's why I'm here. I was gonna go back to the room when I finished, but... I can't, OK?!  Oh, for the love of... Stop bawling! Sniff... Hey.  I'm an adventure game protagonist and you're talking about a puzzle, so... Give me a break, kid. A puzzle isn't something to bawl about. Look, just let me do it for you, OK? Whaaaaaaaaaa! Whaaaaa... Huh? Are you gonna help me, mister? Stop calling me mister. This name's Kyle Hyde. If you're gonna talk to me, use my name. Mister Hyde? Close enough. Listen, just... Here. Give me the puzzle.   IT IS BABY PUZZLE FOR BABIES. [Music - Pink Rabbit There. Now take this and go back to your room. What's wrong now? The puzzle's done. Everything's OK. No, it's not. It's not? Why not? It just isn't! It's no fun if I don't do it myself!Music stops  OUR PUZZLE! Oh, you're kiddin' me! What are you doing?Music resumes  You're a complete basket case, you know that? At least say thanks for the help before you bust up the puzzle! You talk too much! Nice attitude, kid. You better watch your step! Huh? No! You can't make me! You threw 'em down, you pick 'em up.  Well? You deaf or what? Answer me! OK! OK! S-sorry... But at least she picked up the puzzle pieces. I'm done, OK? You happy? Thrilled. I'm sorry. I'm so s-sorry... Wha... Whaaaaaaa! P-Please don't hurt me! Fine, yeah, whatever. C'mon, kid. Enough of the waterworks already. Hey... Look, I didn't mean--  I tricked you! Stupid JERK! drat it! I don't have time for this crap.  What's this?  Wonder what it is? Enough of that, let's head to our room.  (Somebody's coming out of Room 213.)  Hey buddy, you okay? Hey there.  What's going on? Hm? You don't look so hot. What? You sick or something? N-no. No, I'm fine. All right. Sorry to bother you.Music - Slow Steps  Objection, take that. Yeah? Who are you? Me? Kyle Hyde. I'm down in 215. I'm Jeff. Jeff Angel. As a Jeff myself, it's nice to see Jeffs in games outside Earthbound. Stay here a lot? What, here? Never! No, I've never stayed in a place like this before.  Really? Why don't you have a choice? Something happen? What's that? Why am I staying here? I don't think I need to explain myself to you. Just asking. Just asking? Ex-cops are technically not cops, yes. You're not a cop? That's kind of an odd thing to just blurt out, isn't it? So...you're not a cop? That's too bad. Music - Rainy Night  Got a couple questions to ask this guy. Why is that too bad? You lookin' for the law? Oh, no reason. I just thought it would be cool to have a cop or a detective in the hotel. Hey.  What did you mean by "cool"? Oh, that. Take a look around. Better yet, take a sniff. This hotel... What if a real crime took place? Something sleazy and violent... And then if a real gumshoe was here trying to figure things out...? C'mon! That would be cool! Even you must think so. That's an odd thing to think about. Yeah, I'm a pretty deep guy. Hey, take it easy. I'm not a criminal or anything. The kid on the stairs. Where's she staying? Kid? Young girl, about ten. Rude as hell. Oh, her. You must be talking about Melissa. She's in Room 219. She's staying with her father. Part of the great unwashed, if you ask me. Music - Slow Steps  Not now. All right. See you around.  What a jerk! Well, let's head to our room, finally.    We use the key on the doorknob to open this sucker up. I use my key and unlock the door to Room 215. So this is where wishes are granted, huh? My rear end. (Can't believe I had to listen to that load of bull. Why would an old man be peddling fairy tales? C'mon, Hyde, forget it. Just finish Ed's job and get the hell out of here.) I put my suitcase on the table in the corner. BRRRRRRING~!  Phone.  Dangit, we gotta answer the phone ourselves, dumb game. Music - Serenity  Now who's this tall drink of water?  Glad to hear you arrived in one piece.  Like always. Listen, do me a favor and give Ed a message. Tell him he doesn't need to have you checking up on me with every little thing. I got my instructions. I'm on top of it. You're on top of it? Really? How refreshing. Thanks for the confidence, Rachel. It's nice to be trusted. Tell Ed that, too. Out there all alone. Working hard. Busting your tail to get things done. At least I think so... You think so? What the hell's that mean? Oh, come on, Kyle! You're not exactly an open book! That's why there are all those rumors... What rumors? Don't act like you don't know! I've heard some crazy things about you. You're an ex-cop from New York who was on the take and had to leave town?  People are saying all kinds of things, sweetie. Let 'em talk. You want to know what I think?  Can I just say I love the writing and localization in this game? They really get the whole light noir-ish/pulp detective feel down. I don't buy the whole "man of mystery" bit. Glad you think so highly of me. So has the package arrived? Not yet. Maybe the deliveryman crawled into a bottle. Hmm... Well, when it arrives, check the order sheet and give me a call. Right.  No, there are some new products in there, too. New products? What am I supposed to do with them? You're a salesman, Kyle. Try selling something. Oh, and those are Ed's orders. Not mine. Door-to-door sales in a hotel? That'll be fun. Oh, and one more thing. I put the client list in the package, too. Oh, that. I like Rachel a lot and think she serves as a good foil to Kyle. Honestly a lot of the strength of the characters in this game is how they react and relate to Kyle's personality in different ways. When the package arrives, don't just leave the client list in the box, all right? Put it in your suitcase! Yeah, yeah. I know. Bye, sweetie. Don't forget to call. Yeah.   She's quite the looker. Always willing to give me the straight skinny, too.Now, if we had forgotten to ask about the other Kyle Hyde at the front desk, we'd have to go down and ask Dunning about it. But we're going to pretend he didn't, so we're getting another call. The important new information will be given to us either way. Phone again. Hyde? This is the front desk. That you, Dunning? Yep. So how's the room? It'll do. Good to hear, good to hear. Oh, by the way... I forgot t'mention this when ya checked in, but... What? I need ya t'pay yer tab up front. Up front? Now don't get me wrong! It ain't that I don't trust ya or nothin'. It's just...yer a first-time guest, and I don't know ya or nothin'. Hold on. You want me to pay you right now? Naw, ain't like that. Ya don't hafta take care of it right away. Ya just got here after all! Go ahead and sit a spell. But if ya swing by and take care of it before six o'clock, I'd be much obliged. I'll be in m'office or at the front desk. Fine. Thanks a bunch, Hyde. Sure do appreciate it. Sure. Whatever. Cash... Where's my cash... Oh, right. I tossed my roll in my suitcasewhen I got out of the car.  Sorry about the awkwardness there, but I played the first bit of the game differently than my script goes through it and I think going by the script just makes it flow better.  (All the scuffs and tears... It sure is showing its age. Still, it was my father's suitcase, and it's been with me a long time. Hell, I was lugging the old girl around when I started working for Ed. My constant traveling companion.)We use our Suitcase Key on the suitcase, and...   Gotta slide this in...  And try to turn it...come on!  gently caress.  Music - Straight Chaser Dammit! This is not what I need right now. (Now what am I going to do? Maybe I can use some wire to pick the lock.) Maybe there's something on the desk. Hotel brochure's next to the phone.  There's a paper clip on the brochure. A paper clip, huh? Better hang on to this. It may come in handy. THERE IT IS. The best screenshot in the game. (If I straightened this out...)  To straighen out the paper clip, you have to drag along the highlighted spots, but not too fast because it'll spring all over.  Like so. There we go...nice and straight. (Let's see if I can pick the lock on my suitcase.)  Try as we might, we just can't push all three of these tumblers down.   (I'm going to need a thicker piece of wire.) Someone's knocking on the door. Now what?  You'll get a screen like this at certain points in each chapter to denote the passage of time. Yeah, let's just say that all happened in 10 minutes. But we'll get the door next time. Next Time: Mila Waffleman_ fucked around with this message at 21:32 on Apr 30, 2017 |

So, ex-criminal then? Also what a time for the key to break. I want to see the back of this puzzle. I'm surprised there are other guests in this hotel. You'd think the wish granting room would be in demand or something.

You can make copies of keys at a hardware store, Kyle. They'll do it in half an hour while you wait. What I'm saying is, you have nobody but yourself to blame.

I'm excited, because we get to meet the best character soon And we've already met my arch-nemesis: the clock. And you are right, they did a great job localizing this game. Specially Kyle being not quite an rear end in a top hat, but definitely not a nice guy. And that Rachel doesn't let him get away with the act.

Next update's gonna be a good one because we're not only going to meet said character, but we're going to get our first real piece of intrigue. This first chapter's a bit slow introducing the characters, but it's gonna get real compelling.

Don't worry about Jeff tbh. Also wait what do you mean this game has multiple endings. I wouldn't know as I'd gotten stuck... somewhere in the future of this post being made, if that is vague enough.

Well, there's a few nonstandard game overs, and if you don't get any game overs in a playthrough, there's an extra scene at the end. There's also additional scenes for completing the game on a NG+, but unless I can find a save near the end of such, I probably won't show those off since it's an entire second play through for little payoff.

I love how ridiculous the little "puzzles" in this game are. It's like they had somebody from Nintendo breathing down their neck during development, saying "this game has to show off our new handheld! Make 'em use the touchscreen here! And here! And here!" Which is sort of silly considering that just walking around the hotel involves a much more natural (and impressive) use of the second screen.

If you think this is silly, wait until you see CING's previous game, Trace Memory. The thing is basically a 6 hour tech demo.

Rereading your updates reminds me that this game is actually pretty rough for someone's first adventure game. I remember a few leaps you gotta make and I have no idea how I managed to figure one out in particular without a guide.

 Welcome back! Sorry about the delay, I've always been a chronic procrasinator. Last time, we were going to get the door because our package is here! Music - Easy Feeling  ???: Package for ya, pal. OK. Put it down anywhere.???: Uh, 'scuse me... I kinda got my hands full, ya know? You want you could take the box on top for a sec? No problem. I take one of the boxes from the bellhop.  ...I gotta blow? Wait a second... Hold up a bit! I know you now! Wait a second...  Don't move!???: Wah?!  ???: Nah, that can't be. Can't be? Why????: Well, uh...   I gotta go! (What's up with this guy? What's he hiding? Time to get a look at his face.)  I said look at me! Look at a person when they talk to you, dammit! I grab the bellhop's chin and yank his head up.  I know you! Dammit, man! Aw, dammit... Louie!Meet Louie! He's one of the best characters in the gaaaaame! Fine, ya got me. 'Course, I guess there ain't nothin' I can do about it now, eh? Long time, no see, Officer Hyde. (Last time I saw him was the winter of '76, three years ago. He was roaming the subways of Manhattan picking pockets for a living.) Why are you here, Louie? Run out of wallets to lift in the Big Apple? What're you doing in this place? What's it look like, man? I'm workin' here! Working? You? Bull. I don't buy it. That's the God's honest, man! I got my act together! Been three years since I moved out and scored this gig! (Three years... That's about the same time I quit the force.) How did you know I was here? Aw, man, I knew it soon as I saw your name on the package, yeah?  I been here for THREE YEARS! Just started to put all that New York stuff behind me, ya dig?  Hold on a second...  You wanted to forget my name, Louie? You bet I did, man! 'Course, I wanna forget all the crap what happened back then. Is that so? When I first got this gig? Used to check the guest list every day. I was a total freak show. Always afraid someone I knew would show... It was a trip, man! You woulda laughed at what a dork I was.  No guests with my name? So what's the deal, Officer Hyde? What you doing all the way out here in a crappy hotel like this? Must be a major bust you got lined up, right? Why else would a Manhattan cop be so far from home? That's not it. So...what? You're, like, on vacation? Checkin' out the tar pits and crap like that? No. Huh? Man, you're a TRIP! I don't get you! Everything you say's like a riddle or a mystery or somethin'. Whatever. Not my business what you're doin' here. You keep your secrets, and I'll keep mine. What?  I love this loving dorkus. What? What's the problem? Why're you staring at me? Mellow out, man. No big. Just that...you're different now, ya dig? I was gonna say somethin' earlier, but I didn't want you to freak. What're you talking about? What's different about me? I dunno... Just...something.  Music - Rainy Night  Questions! We're gonna do these in order, as usual. You got your act together? Yeah, man, I got tired of picking pockets. Big risk, small reward, yeah?  Hold on. Something happened, didn't it? Yeah, maybe... But I ain't talking about it.  (Oh, right... He doesn't know I quit the force.)Talk about a comedy of errors, am I right? It's nothing. What don't you want to talk about? What happened? ...Forget it. I split that scene for my own reasons, man. Got nothin' to do with you. Well, it's, you know... C'mon, man, you gotta know what I'm sayin'! You got that crappy leather jacket and that totally whacked-out tie.  Hey hey hey, don't knock the drat hair. My barber says it's really nice. I just need to be using the Head and Shoulders more, is all. This look... It ain't like you, man. Not like me? Uh-huh. The Officer Hyde I remember always wore a fly black suit. And the way you used to strut around the city? You had it goin' on, man!  (We ruled the streets, Bradley. You and me, playing the heroes.) Yeah? What else? Well, that's it, man. I mean, you were... Spit it out, Louie. You were cool, man. Even when you were hasslin' me, you were cool. My cool ran out.  Right. Awkward.  Yeah, man. That's what I'm tellin' ya. Not likely I'd forget somethin'like that. Why you bustin' me about it, anyways? Just something I heard from that old-timer at the front desk. Seemsthere was a guest with my name about six months back. Six months...? No, man, I got nothin'. 'Sides, you think I wouldn't remember a guest what had your name?  What happened? ...Forget it. I split that scene for my own reasons, man. Got nothin'to do with you. Music - Easy Feeling  I gotta blow, man. All right. But, uh, listen. Before I go, lemme ask you something? What is it? You, uh... You said you changed gigs, yeah? What's the story? Oh, that.  Truth, Louie? I hung it up. Hung what up? My badge. What? No way! You quit the beat?! Yeah. Actually, I got canned. You were FIRED?! Oh man, Officer Hyde! What'd you do?! Well...     ...No thanks, man. I'll pass. Sounds too heavy for me. Maybe someother time, yeah? All right. Can't believe you're not a cop anymore, man. What a trip. So, what's your deal now? C'mon! Get outta here! You're a door-to-door salesman? Yeah. You? Me. So that package what I delivered is full'a sales stuff? Detergent and floor wax and hairnets? Old lady crap like that? Could be. Knock it off. What's so drat funny? Everything, man! C'mon, the famous Officer Hyde? A SALESMAN? That's even more of a gas than me being a bellhop! Whaaaaa ha ha ha haaaaa! That so? ...All right, man, I gotta bail. ...Yo, Officer Hyde? Yeah? My past... You know all the crap that happened in New York? All the stuff I did? Well, ain't nobody out here who knows about it, man.  All right.  Let's head over to the bed and open this baby. The package Louie delivered is on the bed. I can't sell a notebook!!! Huh? What's this supposed to be? There's no order sheet. This isn't Ed's package.  The title written on the cover of the notebook is "The Secret Word." Well, better go to the front desk and complain.  Someone's coming out of Room 219. It's the twerp!  Ah!We get put back onto the movement screen with the option to talk to Melissa, but we gotta so here we go! Music - Pink Rabbit  What? What's the score? Hey! Kid! I'm talking to you. My name's not "kid"! Yeah, I know. Your name's Melissa. Hey! You know my name! 'Course I do. Don't underestimate adults, kid. We know things. Yeah, right. Whatever. Seriously, kid. Stop playing on the stairs. It's a hassle. I'm not gonna play on the stairs anymore. But I lost something really important. Tell me something, will you?  You won't be able to see your mom? Uh-huh. I had to promise my dad. I gotta do what he says...with no "back talk." If I don't, we won't see my mom. We'll just go home. That's why I'm not gonna be a brat anymore.You're going to see Mom? Music - Rainy Night More interrogations! We just have one question now.   Hey, kid. Where'd your mom go? I dunno. But I was crying 'cause I wanted to see my mom for Christmas, right? And so Dad said we could go and see her. So where are you going? I dunno. Where are you going, mister? Me? I'm here on business, so I go where the boss says. Just gotta wait and see. On business? That's just like my dad. My dad always has to do whatever his boss says. That's why he's so busy.What's your dad's job?  Old man? Who's that? Your dad. What kind of work does your dad do? He's a surgeon and stuff. He works at some hospital somewhere. A sawbones, huh?I love that podcast! Yeah, I guess. And my mom works at an art museum. Her name's Grace. My mom's... I didn't ask about your mom, kid. ...Fine, go ahead. What's your mom like?As much as Kyle tries to be a cool guy, he's just a big softie. What's she like? She's nice, and pretty, and she bakes really good birthday cakes. What else? Well, she always said nice stuff about my drawings. I used to draw pictures of my mom all the time. Pictures of your mom? Uh-huh. Sounds like a class act... Why don't you draw a picture of her in this? Sure, I guess. Melissa drew a picture in my notebook. There.  Here's the picture! Hmm? (Oh, right... Guess I'll give her back that puzzle piece I found on the stairs.) We're pushed out again to talk to her again. This game maybe has a bit of a problem with flow sometimes. Music - Pink Rabbit Hey. What? This is yours, isn't it? Oh... Here. T-thank you. This puzzle was a present from my mom. It's my treasure. Huh? You're... Dad, I was-- Get back in this room right now, young lady! OK. The two of them go into Room 219. (So that's Melissa's father, huh? I can see why his wife split.) Down to the lobby we go! Huh? Who are you?We gotta walk over to her! Hey... You got a second?  Hey![img]https://lpix.org/2797371/2017-04-26-1804-20.mp4_snapshot_09.54_[2017.05.16_18.58.22].jpg[/img] Music - Secrets Huh? (That's her. That's the girl I saw on the drive out here.) It's you! I saw you standing alone by the side of the road. You were on the side of the highway, about an hour from here.  What? What's wrong? Not you? (What's going on? Why won't she say anything?) Huh? Wait a minute... Sorry, are you deaf? I didn't mean to...???: She can hear just fine! Mmm-hmm! There's a voice behind me. Oh, hi there! Music - Hangover Blues Who are you? Me? I'm Rosa. The maid. AND the cook. Who are you? So you're Rosa? Mmm-hmm, that's right. Rosa. You got it. Why are you asking? Has someone been talking about me again? Yeah, I ran into Dunning at the front desk. He came out screaming 'cause he thought I was you. Oh, did he now? Yeah, that sounds like Mr. Smith. Sorry about that. I bet the boss was lost in one of his hockey games. As usual. He's supposed to be watching the front desk. 'Course he never does. The man is useless. Totally useless. Right... So who's the girl? Why? Why you asking? There something you need from her? Her name's Mila?! Who are you, anyway? I haven't seen you around before. That doesn't surprise me. I'm a guest. Probably don't see too many in this place. Well, don't I feel silly! I didn't realize!  Wait a second...  Why'd you think I look like a salesman? Red Crown. What? The jacket. On your back. You're wearing one of their jackets,aren't you? Guess I am. So then I was right, wasn't I? Yeah, I knew it. Mmm-hmm! I bought some things from one of your salesmen before.  Do me a favor. Get your company to sell things that are worth a darn So tell me, what's your name? Wait! Let me guess! Um...no. I have no idea. Kyle Hyde. Oooooohhhh... So YOU'RE the man staying in Room 215. Shoulda known, shoulda known. Look at that. You do know me. Music - Rainy Night  Oh yeah. Sure. Well, that would be my guess. I mean, that's what the bracelet on her left arm says. (Bracelet?)  Dramatic sting! Wait, that looks like...Music - Suspicions   Oh poo poo. That's impossible. (The bracelet Bradley was wearing... It couldn't be...) No...it's nothing. Oh...OK. Fine by me.Music - Rainy Night So...the girl. Is she staying here tonight? Yeah, I think so.  What do you mean? It means I'll let her stay in my room. As a favor? You have a room? Yeah, that's right. A room. I work here and live here, too. Lousy deal, I know.  I thought only little kids got lost. Well, she might be a smidge old to be called lost, but she sure looks out of place. I heard she was just standing on the side of the road. Poor thing! She doesn't have any luggage or anything. Did she make it here all on her own? No, she got a ride. Hitchhiked. That young man who checked in earlierbrought her. Young man?  But then he found out she doesn't talk, so he left her here. You believe it? Pretty cold if you ask me! Leaving her here all alone like that! Just ain't right.Sounds like a real jerk! Who brought her in? Fellow's name is Jeff Angel. He's in 213. Why? Why'd you ask? Do you know him?I was right!  I met him. Briefly. That so? Then you understand what I'm talking about! He looks harmless enough, right? But it's the ones who look sweet that you have to fear, and for a fact! What a creep!Got that right. Now to why we were here in the first place. Your bellhop delivered a package a few minutes ago. But it wasn't mine. Huh? What? He brought you the wrong package? What a dolt! Yeah, looks like he got his wires crossed somewhere. Sorry about that. I'll make him look into it. Don't worry about a thing. Music - Hangover Blues Phone again? Guess I gotta do everything around here! Sheesh! Rosa runs to the front desk and answers the phone. Uh-huh. Uh-huuuh. ...How's that again? Got the wrong package? Bellhop brought it up? ...No, doesn't surprise me one bit. Huh? Who's it for again? Kyle Hyde? That package should have been delivered to the guest in 215. Oh, you don't have to do that. ...Well, sure, but... OK, OK, I understand. I'll contact the guest in 215, sir. Sorry for the inconvenience. Rosa finishes talking and hangs up the phone. That sounded promising. Seems we found your missing package. Good timing, eh? That was another guest. Sounds like he got it by mistake. He said he'll just take it on over to your room. Pretty nice of him. I think that about covers it, right? Now you just go on up and wait inyour room. Go on, now! Move it!    At least she seems like she's in good hands. (Mila, huh? That was the name of Bradley's kid sister.) And with that revelation, we reach 5:20 and the end of this update! Next, we finish the first chapter of the game! Next Time: The Night Begins Waffleman_ fucked around with this message at 00:11 on May 17, 2017 |

He got us the wrong package? You think his sticky fingers are gone for good? Sounds suspicious. Also, why in that big huge box was there a single notebook? What a waste of space. "My cool ran out." is clearly wrong. :P

You were planning on showing off the game over sequences, right? Was that going to be chapter by chapter at the end of each one or a big dump later on?

I'll show them when we get to them. We won't really reach a point where we can game over for a while, probably not til the end of Chapter 2 at least.

These are all of the Game Overs you can get right now: - Choose "Mom must be a jerk!" with Melissa on the stairs. - Don't look at Louie's face when he shows up at your door. - Choose "You're up to no good" when talking to Louie. Additionally, a later conversation can lead to a Game Over if you choose "I just transferred" when talking to Louie. Blueberry Pancakes fucked around with this message at 15:57 on May 16, 2017 |

Nah, the script on GameFAQs has a list of each one as it comes. I guess the way I play this game's become such reflex, I've never experimented beyond the game overs I knew.

It's Louie! Words cannot tell how happy this character made me for no reason I can properly articulate. That said, around this time was where the neo-noir overtones ratcheted up a couple of notches, and I was 100% on board with all of it. Can't wait for the next update.

I remarked about the placeholders for the music. I'll fix it tonight. Didn't catch the missing shot, though. Wanted to get this update out by the end of the night and maybe rushed it out the door, ha.
