This looks like my jam. Interesting atmosphere and a sense of creeping dread!

Love that the guy has his terrifying murderbot just sort of crammed into his shed.

I really thought that was going to turn into an awful boss fight.

Thanks to the LP, I picked up the PS4 version. Baxter makes the combat look easy!

The atmosphere of the noncombat areas strongly reminds me of The 99 Rooms project. Especially in the more overtly unsettling spots.

There's the related achievements expandable category but uhhh yep. That's a useless page.

There's also the more direct metaphor the hunter gives the train conductor with his 'Boy it must be nice to be a Train Conductor' spiel. Namely that just doing your job and going with the flow will only get you so far in the end. Also that you don't have a lot of control over your destination (after all, you're riding the rails not laying them out etc.)

Just jumping off of this, following orders and doing what you're told, including following a rote list of instructions in How to Be Good, is not enough. But perhaps nothing is. You can also see the survival of some white eyes as a metaphor for Calvinist ideas of salvation. Maybe only god's grace is enough -- maybe surviving was just a matter of luck. The white eyes might have been the Elect, or they might have won against bad odds.

The white eyes don't seem like they were necessarily special before their exposures to the gas. That can easily be self congratulatory bullshit that the guys on top are using to excuse mass murder. The others may accept this because it salves their own feelings of guilt and remorse. They're just special is all. It couldn't be helped. Extraordinary people should t be bound by conventional morality and so forth.

Yeah - the art was a major high point for me. I honestly don't know how I'd rate the game if it was uglier. Like if the game was a text adventure? I have no idea.

"EXITS ARE N, W, AND MAGICAL SPACE LAND"

Space madness would be an alright explanation of what went down, though.

There's always spacetime for courtesy. :hai:
