This was definitely a much more interesting episode than stalking Trinity and Clay for days. I'm guessing Boone doesn't need to eat in his present condition?

One of the endgames I could see for something like this also involves "Lafcadio" not quite being all of Lafcadio Boone, and you having to stop your own murder at some point in order to close the final timeloop.

Even if he does, a 12-hour fast isn't going to kill him (I'm assuming he's not hypoglycemic or something), and he gets reset back to his state at Saturday 12 pm at the start of every cycle, so it's not like hunger's going to accumulate.

Considering how he keeps getting up from being knocked over with shades of disorientation at the start of every day I'd believe death by drunken bender.

I loved Grinmaw's aesthetic. But it's kind of weird - blood lady thinks he's a player in this game, while the fish himself thinks he's just a pawn of the darker forces at work in this house?

Let's sit down and enjoy some nice, soothing music. Tequila Belle, the Southern Siren/Polsymarshmallow creep posted:This was definitely a much more interesting episode than stalking Trinity and Clay for days.  Tasteful Dickpic posted:The dynamic music is quite nifty, but the transitions are really abrupt. There could have been more of a fade into each new track, even though that'd have been more expensive. It gets really obvious when you're looking through a keyhole into a new room, and suddenly there's a new song blaring at you.

...that was an unexpected ending. Kind of Patches, in a way. Lafcadio's expression after he plays that music, though. Man, I wonder.

Is it me or does Lafcadio hang his head like he's trying not to cry at the end Tequila's speech? He's a silent protagonist but I think he's starting to have a hard time dealing with his friends and acquaintances being constantly murdered. Here he saves Tequila and she bares her true self, but she'll go right back to being murdered in the next loop.

There's a lot more going on here than what's obvious. Lafcadio's expression at the piano, the talk of the Marquis' love/wife, the invention that Sixpence talked about, and of course the mystery of the bloody lady. The most obvious ending is that this is all to try and bring her back in some way, and these murders are part of something going wrong. A small aside, considering our murderers have all been referred, a card can be defined as "a person regarded as odd or amusing". They're certainly odd.

So how exactly did the murder happen there? Did her high note shatter the glass and cut her up? What causes her to bleed out and the player not to?

FoolyCharged posted:So how exactly did the murder happen there? Did her high note shatter the glass and cut her up? What causes her to bleed out and the player not to? Seems like that window was built to resonate and explode like that with the sound of Tequila's voice. Maybe because Boone knows it's going to explode he can brace for it, or maybe the power gives him more control. Or he can't actually die, or puzzle game logic. The person in the golden skull mask is new. He's not on the cover art - I assume the guy in the hawk-nosed mask holding the Lafcadio piece is the Marquis, and the other six are the guests whose masks give powers. Going back and re-reading the biography blurbs on the characters, it all comes back to the Marquis's wife. I assume she's Reggie's niece, that he brought to help repair a clock at one point, which is how the Marquis met her.

This is a guess, but considering what's behind the glass, perhaps the microphone was linked to speakers behind the glass, and with the acoustics of the room behind the glass exploded inwards, whereas Lafcadio was directing his voice directly at the glass. EDIT: Also, gonna call it now(having not actually seen this game previous so it's not a spoiler), guessing the Bloody Girl is the Marquis' wife and either Lafcadio's daughter or secret lover. Probably the latter. Lazy Bear fucked around with this message at 08:48 on Jul 24, 2017 |

There are many things to love about this game, but so far I'm loving how each time our main character needs to hide, they preform a cross gesture before shutting the door.

So we have a record laying around a couple updates ago and now access to a record player or two. Is it just a later puzzle solution or can you do fun things like give our pianist two nuisances to get angery over?

This plus the way he sincerely prayed over the blank rifle cartridge before putting it in the gun in the tutorial really won me over. The dude really doesn't want to see anyone get hurt even if he can rewind time.

Time to look in on that show that's been advertised since we got here. Redd Rockridge, the Gentle Goliath and Greyson Grayson, the Lightfinger Locksmith/Polsy

Greyson and Redd seem... Thick as thieves? In all seriousness, I have to confess I was hoping you'd have gotten one of the Rockridge brothers' masks. S'pose that would tempt the player to attempt to engage the butlers directly.

It's interesting that there aren't any eye holes in Greyson's mask in the concept art. Also, does he look like a pirate to anyone else? I suppose that's because he's going around and stealing things.

Thoughts: --At the end of video 4 you're in the theater but the trap is untriggered. Same for the view from the upper room, for that matter. A mistake, or something relevant? --Can Lafcadio go hug the egg himself before it goes off?

I think that the servant that Trinity ran into in part 2 only input the code again so that Trinity would hear it and enter the room. Likely it would lock itself again after a little time, so rather than re-locking it he was giving her the code so she would trap herself unknowingly.

So anything that belongs to Boone can come with him through time. That's an interesting caveat, but it's better than having to fetch the lighter every time you need to talk to ghosts.

I'm inclined towards the same line of thought, but I think the ending to Tequila's rescue convinced me that while I feel like something's up with him, he's certainly somebody at least, as opposed to some sort of disembodied mask ghost that acts as a player cipher, which was my first instinct.

So we can pick locks and summon ghosts. Sweet. Doesn't seem like there's anything stopping us from walking out the front door, aside from all the death.

I think we're spatially as well as temporally locked. We are bound to the casino for now. Trying to leave might even go so far as rewinding the clock every time we try. Not sure they'd actually put that in, though. Have we even seen the front door? A service entrance?

The room we woke up in after solving the Sixpence murder has a space on the southern wall we can examine that explicitly says "There should be a door here, but there isn't."
