Trite, contrived, mediocre, milquetoast, amateurish, infantile, cliche-and-gonorrhea-ridden paean to conformism, eye-fucked me, affront to humanity, war crime, should *literally* be tried for war crimes, talentless fuckfest, pedantic, listless, savagely boring, just one repulsive laugh after another

There is one thing I could not get my head around: (The Doom Chapter Spoilers) I know there were two guys blasted with the cannon, but I only ever saw the one dude in the part where they died. Was the other dudes corpse blasted somewhere else? Or just, ya know, destroyed?

This is left mostly to deduction I think. In the memory just before they were blasted you can see they were both right next to each other. Seconds later, when the cannon goes off, only one corpse is visible. There's also a gun port and a fresh new hole in the side of the hull just next to where he' was standing. Lastly, you can hear a scream after the cannon goes off, which trails off a bit . the existing corpse had his head blown off, so its probably not him. So the most likely thing to assume is that he was blasted overboard.

Also, ending spoiler, is there a way to make it so that The guys who accidentally shoot fellow crewmen aren't fined?
[/spoiler]

Sometimes there are multiple valid solutions. For example, with the cannon going off and blasting the gunner, I listed the attacker as A Terrible Beast, and that was accepted. You can also blame the sailor who lit the fuse, but if you do that then his estate is fined.

I'm not sure if this works for the guy who was accidentally shot through a wall. Technically he was bleeding out anyway...



This game was rad and I would totally play another one in the same mold, but I can also see why it would take ages to design.

Edit: Yeah, I said the guy who lit the fuze did it and he got fined. Do you remember what his result was like if the beast did it, did he get any special recognition for valor?

Exceptional performance of duties, same as most of the crew who die in non-mutinous ways.

I believe there's a line explicitly saying there are 3 shells.

Check it out, this guy doesn't know about the three shells!
