The premise in nightvale is that it's a town where every conspiracy and mysticism is part of everyday life, I guess the comparison is that a bunch of psuedo-science and magical stuff is also real in this game but, yeah, there's very little intended humor in this game.

Nightvale is something, definitely. But the devil is something else.

 [MUSIC: Draining Neptune] The winner by a single vote is Venus and Jupiter, the pairing we haven't seen ONCE since starting. I love Neptune but it's time we put her on the bench.  [MUSIC: The Sirens]   ♃: It'll be fine. ♃: Anyway, you suggested it. ♀: Yeah but... ♀: Why won't the others just come help? ♃: Because we can do it? ♀: I hate... ♀: I hate being treated like this. ♃: Like what? ♀: Like a scapegoat. ♃: I mean...that's not it. ♀: But it totally is. ♀: If we were in the normal scouts, they'd rush to help us. ♀: They act like real teams and take care of each other and get crystodyne diodes and transformation sequences.So crystodyne diodes do have a basis in reality, at least within the history of early radio. A crystodyne radio set was thought to have been first developed by Russian inventor Oleg Losev in the early 1920's, though there had been work with crystals in receiving radio waves earlier in the 20th century. One common crystal used to detect signals was galena. Crystal sets are outdated at this point, though they are easy to make and are often built by Cub Scouts. Interesting how old radio tech that you could build for your merit badge is such a staple here, where even the crystals in the lock and sirens we saw earlier could be extensions on the same idea. Transformation sequences, on the other hand, are more magic than science. Even still, someone out there has probably definitely written a thesis on those in Sailor Moon or Cardcaptor Sakura for your reading pleasure ♃: We can get them too. We just have to get through this. ♀: Right, "try hard." ♃: It doesn't hurt to try...I know it's no guarantee... ♀: Not everyone in the normal scouts tried all that hard, you know. ♀: Do you think everyone in the normal scouts tried harder than you ever have. ♃: Well... ♀: If that's true, then it's true. ♀: But if even one person who didn't try as hard as you got more than you, you have to say it isn't fair. ♃: ...you sure won't budge on this, will you? ♀: Doesn't it feel unfair? ♃: It's just reality. ♀: It's reality on purpose. Reality that's someone's fault. ♃: You can still get better at this, if you try, you know? ♃: It's not fair, but it's not the end. ♀: So? ♃: So... ♀: When someone rigs it from the start, and then says "try your best!" doesn't that make you mad? ♀: Doesn't that make you so inconsolably mad you never want to try it at all?  ♃: Sometimes even more than Neptune is. ♀: Really? ♃: If you put in the minimum you'll be fine. Right? ♃: That's what I do.Says the sports star with the best grades ♀: Does it work? ♃: Yeah. Well, mostly. ♃: Well, better than nothing. ♀: ...I don't know what's wrong with me. ♀: But I can't. Not when it comes to this. ♃: What is "this"? ♀: Whatever they want out of me that's not fixing radios. [Music stops.]  [SFX: The eerie clicking of insects echoes loudly.] ♃: Hey, what's wrong? ♀: Can you see that? ♃: See what? ♀: There. Right there. ♃: I don't—  ♃: Venus hey, stop. ♃: There's nothing there. ♀: But... ♃: Venus. I'm telling you, I don't see it. ♀: ... ♀: ...okay.

This is a good game, or at least a game written very well. Am I supposed to get what is Venus' deal now? Because I am failing at connecting the dots.

Venus is getting distracted by something or other that only they can see, but apart from that I don't think we know anything else for sure.

The scouts referenced in the game are just as likely to be Sailor Scouts as Boy Scouts. The conflation/confusion is almost certainly deliberate.

Right, right, but there seems to be a lot of jesus camp influence. Something I've only ever come across as a reference at most.

I'm gonna break the "vaguely referencing future stuff" kayfabe for a minute and just say that the ending path we're on was not my first, but in retrospect, I kind of wish it was.

We're on an ending path already? I guess the game really does adhere to short and sweet. Good story telling and I am looking forward to seeing things as they go forward.

so for reasons unbeknownst to me, datenighto's twitter account contacted me of all people after i made a tweet regarding the lp, and now i have three codes for the game to post here. they work for the site, and i hear they'll work for the steam version when that comes out, though honestly i'd personally prefer whoever takes them doesn't sit on them waiting for that to happen e: all gone. sorry folks, guess you're going to have to... give datenighto your 6.66... i hear souls suffice if you're broke Tollymain fucked around with this message at 20:56 on Feb 12, 2016 |
