I have no idea what this is supposed to mean but the immediate thought that sprung forth was "GET IN THE loving CLOSET, VENUS"

  [SFX: God's siren is sounding.]  ♀: ...the sirens are still going, a little. ♃: Does it sound worse to you? ♆: You're imagining— [SFX: Radio static.]The rooms fills up with static from our radios, and there's another sound mixed in with the static but none of us can tell what it is, whether it's music, or talking, or some sort of sound in between.  [MUSIC: Draining Neptune] ♀: The house radio... ♃: Is it the Captain? Or Group South? ♀: Is it god? ♆: It's not the devil, why aren't the sirens going off? What's wrong with it? ♃: I can't tell. ♀: I think the signal is too weak... ♃: Let's boost it.Venus wraps his radio around the house radio, and Neptune plunges hers into the wood. Jupiter lights the coil of incense nestled in the middle of her speaker. It turns red, for a moment. ♀: I don't think anyone's signaling.  [SFX: More radio static.] ♀: Even the devil can use radio, you know... ♆: The devil 'could' do 'whatever' and if you worry about every little thing that's just another way he can get you. Don't you read Lewis?Neptune's probably talking about C.S. Lewis. He's written several works on Christian theology, which is the focus of one of his most famous fictional works, The Screwtape Letters, in which a senior devil writes to his junior devil nephew on how to best tempt humans away from God. Oh yeah and he wrote Narnia too but whatever not relevant ♀: We're the only ones out here. There's no one else to come after. ♃: I don't hear anyone. What should we do? ♀: We could... ♀: We could ask god? ♆: Ugh. ♃: That sounds kinda... ♀: No, I promise, it's easy—we just need some extra wire, I just have to open up the radio box, and— ♆: Okay, as long as you do all the work I am fine with it. ♃: Someone should go get wire. Venus can stay here and tinker and one of us should spot for him. ♆: Ugh, I don't want to go back to the shacks. ♃: Rock, paper, scissors? ♆: Suuuuure. ♀ + ♆ / ♀ + ♃ The thread will vote to whisper in either Jupiter's ear or Neptune's ear the super secret ultimate technique to always win rock paper scissors.

an awful lot of people are downloading the tracks from flac's tindeck account compared to the number of posters in this thread  having difficulty deciding which choice to vote for i still am not sure what exactly the radios each character carries happen to be. maybe they're not supposed to specifically be anything, maybe i'm just bad at figuring it out?

Wow, the soundtrack is really great and after watching another LP, I'd call this whole game really good. It's amazing how much info about the setting and style (as it relates to the story) went right over my head.

Maybe it was a poor choice of smiley but what I meant was that I love the crystal-incense-waves-are-real technology of the setting and the understated way it's presented, not that they're dumb kids or something.

I'm honestly not interpreting it as this. I was getting a much creepier vibe from the camp: this is a thing they do that they've convinced the kids is real to put the fear of the devil in them. It's not like we've seen anything that couldn't have been faked, and they've been here before, so they could have been... I dunno, indoctrinated into it? Just a weird interpretation.

Yes, as we all learned in elementary school, lighting incense is an excellent way to attract the occasional angel to help boost the performance of your radio, or your many other home electronics. However, angels definitely do not exist, and so no one will sell incense specifically for attracting angels. It's important, then, to keep in mind how you intend to use your incense, and avoid any charcoal-based incenses, which can cause short circuits and, of course, animate the occasional shadow. Animated shadows also, definitely, do not exist. So if you see one, or hear one whispering its shadow-promises to you, you should notify the Sheriff's secret police immediately by lying very still, at which point the agent assigned to monitor the many hidden listening devices near you will become concerned by the sudden silence and investigate.

Remember that incense should only be used in a properly licenced bloodstone circle. If you experience any angel hallucinations caused by improper incense use, report the incident immediately to the Sheriff's secret police. While waiting for help to arrive, check the bottom of the nearest manhole and chant the mantra written there as loudly as you can: "Angels do not exist. Angels do not exist. Angels do not exist." It is a Welcome to Nightvale reference.

comparing this game to nightvale seems sort of incorrect to me, although i can't say that i've listened to much of nightvale because i can't pay attention to podcasts to save my life. nightvale's sort of a comedy/conspiracy/magical realism thing, right? this game is not a comedy, nor are there any conspiracies per se
