This game is even more ??? than I'd thought from your posts in the prior thread, can't wait to see how it goes.

The uh, Biblical Ark thing is a lot - a LOT more overt than I thought it'd be, for one.

These animal sprites are cool, if often totally nuts. I like it.

I'm sure you'll agree with me that not posting this screenshot would have been entirely unforgivable, right?

yes, I agree

also what a whirlwind of "hey here's a bunch of hints about things you ... uh, basically can't do yet since you're still on the early game plot railroad"

that and the guy who's trying to sell you on blizzards by saying 'hey at least the bodies stay hidden' which uhhhhhhhhh

I am beginning to feel like this might not be a totally ordinary JRPG after all. :ohdear:

Next you're going to tell me whatever deity or whatever that sent us this ark isn't actually good?

basically I'm 100% suspicious of everyone and so far it's working out

Creepy stomach boat is pretty incredible for us as viewers but probably bad for our protagonist, yeah.

actually I think I like 'creepy meat boat' better, you're on to something here

After Scenario A I was thinking 'okay how will the game top that' because I figured it would

this ... was not on my list of possibilities

The PC Engine cats are way cooler, I agree, but what really amused me was the random alphabet burn where you have to unlock another type by doing well in dog fight. Is this a cultural thing I have no context for or is it out of left field for Japanese players too?

I love how unapologetically off the rails this scenario is.

also, this got me to laugh, so nicely done:

I love how this game continues to make me go "what the hell just happened"

I remember the innocent days of thinking wow those animal designs are pretty weird, or the meat walls of the ark were pretty weird. How little I knew...


thanks for keeping this going, ivantod, this is an incredible experience


e: still can't get over the literally wood ark/spaceship/time-travel device where they just casually pop open a clearly not air-tight wooden hatch in outer space and it's fine

Exactly. All this update did is make me wonder what ivantod's about to drop on us next update.

can't make assumptions though, what if there were two chill updates in a row to really mess with us?

...and yet, considering some of the NPC dialogue you also posted, I'm not actually sure that's the strangest part of this update. Or this game.

also I don't know if I've mentioned Dogy Figh as an excellent name but it really is. my brain keeps trying to parse it as "Dogy Fish," though.

Ah yes, realizing the Ark is a species and picking a fight with the arks that are sitting underground until you manage to capture a male and female specimen.

sorry this idea is too reasonable for Linda^3 and therefore the true answer is much, much weirder

(you have to hatch ark eggs first, obviously)

Congratulations!

I canīt believe we are nearly finished with the game. You did an amazing job.

at this rate I don't trust that there won't be a Scenario E, F, and probably G so you never know...
