SLIDES IN HERE IMMEDIATELY

I started yesterday...? Or Monday. Whichever day.

I'VE BEEN SUMMONED

Goodness!!

That was fast. XD

...like Sif.

ATK SPD boost: hyperfixation

ANYWAY I just wanted to laugh at the crab jokes, how the Vauguardian's don't like them, and Mira's final comment: "they're INEVITABLE."

I read that article. That comment made me laugh so hard. |D

But also since you're in here!!! I can see why you like Sif so much.

A very fine MC. And also: puns.

Love me some time nonsense characters ;v;

Ngl, I love Sif a ton already.

AND LAUGHS YEAH... the first time I ran into the crab scene I did the whole pointing and "I understood that reference!!"

Also Isa and Sif pun tagteam extraordinaire.

so the character I'm rping rn from here isn't Sif... just saying...
(you should avoid my rp plurks rn if you don't want some pretty big spoilers though)

Exactly. I loved it. (I believe it might have been an article you linked that I read, in fact? :3 )

:|a I don't remember, but I could see myself linking something like that!

Oh! Well then. (I have not read any RP plurks! But I have looked at this game's plurk. Even if a spoiler or two eheheh.)

But also. You did the cosplay though, right?

which is to say. enables ur attachment >:]

I did yeah!!

Okay good! I remembered! ^^'

Are you rping Loop?

I probably read it once but it was a when you first started probably, because I do read opening plurk statements usually.

at least

I lurk in a lot of other things, too.

I am yep! :>

Fantastic.

From what I've seen, I am pretty sure I will like them. And their relationship with Sif.

(but I would say I love Loop and Sif equally, Loop is just more fun for me to rp for Reasons)
(and literally all the others characters are EXTREMELY close behind, I am mad at how good this game was at getting me attached to them all)

(That is completely fair. Look, I am the person that has literally RPed two sides of a pair of partner characters so. I can totally get behind loving two characters A Lot and finding one a RP home over the other.)

Ahahaha. Yeah, they have done a good job writing them. The fact that they all fit together so well helps a lot.

Because I could see myself not necessarily liking some of them individually? But the group dynamic is so great. Also Sif's attachment to each of them makes it more potent, too. Like, his narration makes you like them all even more.

idk, it's well done so far.

They bounce off each other really well!

My only gripe is the abundance of enemies. And by abundance I just mean the respawn every time you leave and go back is going to annoy me to death.

YEAH... there's eventually a thing you can equip that will make them run away from you, but I don't remember the conditions for getting that event to show up initially
It won't be for a little bit

I know it's an RPG staple so, like, every RPG does it to me, lol, but I get tired of fighting every two seconds sometimes.

Ah, ah. That will be nice.

You can run away from them if it helps
Which. I am mostly saying because I didn't realize this for my whole entire first playthrough
But it's still a bit of a pain

I'm glad I have no qualms literally clicking on everything though. I never would have noticed there was a weapon there. Yay.

You mean like... run away literally or run away during the fight?

run away during the fight! escape key, iirc

Okay cool.

YES CLICK ALL THE THINGS
This game has a ridiculous amount of stuff that becomes relevant when you revisit rooms later, too, so it's worth clicking stuff and reading the flavor text in case something reminds you of it later

I'll find the controller button. :3

Ahh. Good to know.

(Sometimes even when it's not relevant flavor text also changes... over time... >v> )

(It's not worth clicking everything on every single run through the House, but it's a nice treat when you're sometimes randomly feeling like inspecting something again)

Hmm hmm hmm. Yeah it did say conversations can be slightly different, too. So skip with caution. But it's definitely a useful button.

But I will endeavor to keep examining all the things! More than once on occasion.

It's honestly pretty good about dragging you back in if the things other characters say change when you're skipping, for what it's worth!
The changes that it won't always stop you fast forwarding through... is Sif's reactions to stuff changing... >_>
But even then it does yank you out for important stuff

Ahaha. Yeah, it mentioned that. But also wheee, changes! But yeah. I'm already using it so no worries.

Definitely enjoying the game. Not getting far quickly, but I will keep up with it and try to play a little bit each night now that I'm into it.

But boy can I not stay up as late as I used to. :<

gently pats...

"How comfortable are they?"
"Not even a little bit!!"

I love it.

There is very good dialogue writing going on in this game.

HEHEHE you found the paper mache hands huh

Yes!

SECRET PASSAGE

secret passage.... which one

The romance novels conversation was hilarious.

Enemies to lovers trope.

I LOVE Mira's love of horror and romance novels

Oh? She likes horror, too. Yes good.

I spy an eldritch door with unreadable text above it. Text that hurts to read? My thoughts go to comic horror first of all.

Hmm. I wonder if it's from that land that disappeared that no one can think about actually...

HMMMM. :]

:'D

I just got to Mirabelle's room!

"What's a color?"

lmao

This game sends me into paroxysms of "how tf do you describe color if you've never experienced color before" constantly

Ahahaha

Someone did a science experiment and learned other creatures see differently! /shot

"That's the 'Handsome Young Men Falling Into Beautiful Heartbreaking Madness' horror anthology!" Oh my god.

Cat-fart-tis... I'm dying

"And also sometimes the heroes end up bonding with the monsters, too..." Ahem. That's what I'm talking about. :3

Totally worth an entire loop.

I totally had that anthology come up in a tag and I was very proud of myself

I'm very glad for her that Mira doesn't have to deal with social media, but Mira would be such a Tumblr girl

Nice.

(Also lol. I could see it.)

TWO bathroom breaks.

TWO

Just learned Call Loop and boy did that description make me smile.

As soon as I read the "lift thumb and pinkie finger" I was dying trying not to laugh out loud.

Secret 4th hand shape indeed.

Oh. That's where the thingy-thing is for the bomb.

Huh. I never tried that door before for some reason. Strange.

secret 4th hand shape!!

Wait, do I have to talk to Loop about all the things each time I go back to the beginning to get Sif to remember to look at things?? I could swear that was the book Bonnie was looking at but Sif didn't comment on that part again this time.... hmm.

It's bad enough I have to go grab everything again because I made the mistake of going to the beginning to look for new Loop dialogue...

Not worth it since I was so close to defeating the King that time. Oof.

"Nyan-gry."

"As if summoned, the Funny Noises Appreciation Crew jump to your side."

"Ding-ding!"

THAT'S NOT FAIR.

...I fucking hate pineapples.

That just killed my loop.

I'm done for tonight. I hate repeating what I just did.

OH NO YOU GOT GOT BY THE PINEAPPLES...
re: having to talk to Loop - nope, they're just there to help if you lose track of stuff or don't know what to do next
BUT some of the quest continuation are very picky about exactly which order you have to do stuff in

YEAH. STUPID PINEAPPLE.

for the thing with the Bonnie book - you have to find a different copy of the book in an earlier part of the house, so that Bonnie won't immediately hide it from you
and after that you will be able to have it come up during a specific snack break
Sif might not comment on it again each time, only the first time you do each thing

Okay, yeah, I figured it out. We just knew already so no comment that time I guess. I...got the big scene of confronting Bonnie about the death stuff. Nooooot worth it. Ahem.

Beat the King!!

...has Siffrin's art changed in the menu? Neat.

Poor buddy.

It sure has :]
The battle portraits also change!

OH ALSO while I remember
When you hit act 4, take some time to repeatedly interact with the silver coin in your souvenirs until you get A Certain Scene
(you will know)
otherwise there is a pretty big thing you can miss in the epilogue

you can technically get the scene now, it's just the rng odds of hitting it go up in act 4, I believe
so it'll take less attempts interacting

Yeah, I like the battle portraits! Neat.
But also... yeah, I was wondering if that was a new one or if it was just his health being mid-range that last time I saw Sif's battle portrait. Iiinteresting.

Ooooh, will do!

I keep playing with the silver coin a lot randomly already. XD

I keep thinking it's gotta do something at some point. :3

I also find the bell charm amusing. I love the two going "ding-ding!"

Man, I thought I was supposed to get a phrase for the storage room from the shop keep but he didn't say anything. Hnn.

it might take a couple tries if other dialogue was queued up! try talking to him again next loop
(now I'm wondering if the coin scene can only trigger in town or not, I never tried getting it in the House...)

silly noises brigade!

Yesssss

Okay! I will have to start a new loop then because I do not want to repeat all that only to have to go back again.

Again.

Oh. I see a banana peel. I... am going to stay away from it for now. lol

Siffrin slowly loosing his mind.... that Sadness probably didn't deserve that kind of beating. Phfft.

The group's reaction and Sif... hooboy.

Well. So much for the sharp piece of glass...

Jesus, Frin.

That's depressing.

I SEE YOU GOT THE SADNESS REPELLING MEMORY...

I DID. Wow.

Speaking of sadness, it's sad that they forgot how to see color.... poor people of the world.

I got the Memory of Promise.

That was a heartwarming scene.

"Not when I still can't say it..." is haunting me.

Isa, is it you.

Always interrupted!!!

If Odile interrupts next time...

grins

I'm going to get as depressed as Frin if I keep having to do all this over and over again.

I suppose I don't always need all the things but. how to decide...

Yeah definitely don't worry about doing all the things every time! And/or always doing an entire loop

Yeah, would probably be easier if I had a better memory to know where to go for things. Maybe I should keep notes...

Also, is there a way to reloop from the town itself?

Absolutely recommend notes

As far as relooping from town: so that banana u were avoiding....

Oh yeahhhhhhh. I totally forgot I found it. lol.

Okay. I "saw a ghost" this time.

HUEHUEHUE yep, the ghosties

And now we've teleported. Cool.

Good choice going into that room for no reason. lol

have you started forgetting loops yet? :3c

All these emotes....

Hmmm, no? But that's been hinted at from the beginning.

I just ran into the change god.

I always wondered if the break in the font was part of the forgetting things trope, but it does it on the title screen sometimes too so. idk

But I like to think of it as part of Sif forgetting words so I do that. ^^'

I also noticed on one loop that the change god statue in town had a face full of TEETH which was both creepy and cool.

It was so random. And I had just loaded up the game so I was trying to remember if that was a thing before phfft.

yeah the change god face is just different some loops!

Which is great.

Got the "Here's Some Change..." achievement. The memory of the Incident... poor Sif.

Yeah, I definitely have plenty of theories on Stuff.

Also, it's still Act 3, and I was in town.

Yep, you can get it even as early as Act 2, I think, it's just that the odds are much lower

Yeah. But then I got hit with Bonnie's stuff, too. Ahhh.

That was sweet and emotional.

Frin got a hug!!

Now I am going through Odile's fetchquest. Very circular. XD

Why are all of these so emotional!?

This is a good game.

Oh goody. I can now use my dagger. on. myself.

...also that ended the debate of hang out with Loop or Isa next? Loop don't wanna sooo. Isa it is!

Ahhh. Ahh.

That sure was a lot. What a good scene... all of them...

I think that's it for today.

I need to remember to talk to Loop next...loop.

To hang out.

friendquests!!!

They were all very good. :3
