    I was surprised that the church sequence doesn’t kill you. I only got shot once in the Whirling-In-Rags.

          It was very uncomfortable.

          Apparently that chair is a common soft lock people hit.

              More than his super racist guard? I felt like there was no way to handle this situation without disappointing Kim… which was not out of the ordinary in my playthrough but still… :(

                Nah, Measurehead is adorable. A native Revacholian playing ur-racist out of what he’s learnt on the radio while dating a “Kojka” he can’t have sex with because his own racism prevents him from getting an erection in her presence.

                Evrart (and Edgar, though we never meet him) Claire are downright terrifying.

                Extremely intelligent, constantly ten steps ahead and in control (except for the tribunal, the entroponetic phenomena underlying the events of the game, the deserter, and, possibly, the Detective) even over the Wild Pines woman, extremely charismatic despite their appearance, and yet absolutely malicious and self centered.

                They’re like sharks, perfect, cold, inhumane, apex predators evolved to completely dominate their territory.

                Measurehead can never really hurt you. Evrart Claire can kill you by making you sit on a chair, and he’s fully aware of it.

        As someone who has never played the game before, I really can’t tell if you’re making all of this up. It sounds fascinating.

          It’s really worth playing. The voice acting is stellar, and it really is the best “role-playing” game, in the sense that you are fully immersed in role-playing a character. The mental gameplay mechanics are GOAT, and one-of-a-kind.

          It’s real. You can die at the beginning of the game attempting to grab your tie. You’re playing as a 40 something burnout cop who has recently done so much alcohol and drugs that you have complete and total amnesia and your heart can explode at any moment. At one point even sitting in a chair could kill you. lol
