Been looking forward to this. I own the Swedish version of this game (where the protagonist is voiced by a young Mikael Persbrandt) and it will be cool to see the stuff I missed when I played it through.

Also I vote that we keep exploring Downtown.

I always liked how the tough guys that beat you up in the alley are clearly very old men. The elderly in this town do not approve of the smut youngsters watch at the cinema these days it seems.

Perhaps the next move should be to visit the library. Kathe seems to know us better than we know ourselves at the moment, so her advice might be prudent. I also think we should check out the harbor soon though.

One does not simply walk through the Downtown alley :allears:

There is a lot of content in this game that is very missable, even on multiple playthroughs. I've never seen the back room at the church before, for example. Anyway, if Vicky at New Orleans wanted to see us we should go there before seeing the psychologist.

So. This was the game that was gifted to me by my parents at the mature age of 7 :)
To be fair it was bundled with some other more kid-friendly games.

Anyway, keep up the good work.

If our current personality is carefree and easy-going then maybe our best course of action is to remain in character and take our time, exploring the rest of the city looking for clues etc. Though it might also be prudent to ask ourselves if the carefree personality is the most suitable to have given our current predicament.

Great to see you're back. Also really interesting to hear about that tablet version kickstarter.

Things are heating up...

I'm unsure about what the best way to deal with Bob is. Playing though and attempting to use the head as blackmail might work, but I don't know if our protagonist is up to the task.

We definitely should have another chat with Elizabeth. I doubt the old lady would hurt her.

Great job with the LP. It is one unique piece of work, whatever else you may think of it.
I'll list some of the things I remember happening when I played the game that didn't show up in this playthrough. Spoilered, just in case.

If you play as the aggressive personality, the dominatrix in the brothel will ask you to go beat up and extort the deadbeat father of her son, which you can do if you so chose. Also Kathe won't be as welcoming when you first meet her.

You can make the thugs in the alley back down if you pick an option that suits your personality, try to fight them if you're aggressive etc. Since you can play that scene over and over again I believe you can use this to check which personality is currently dominant.

Attempting to explain the situation to Bob doesn't go over so well. He'll beat you up, and right before you enter the warehouse there's a scene where he dumps what I think is Kathe's body in the ocean. It doesn't effect the ending though.

There's a scene where you meet the blonde prostitute and she tells you that someone (probably you) burnt down her apartment, if I remember correctly.

Seeing this all, start to end, makes me wonder why more games haven't been done in Claymation. I mean, there was this and the Neverhood...

Actually, maybe more games have been done in Claymation. If you'd asked me before I started watching this game I'd have said just the Neverhood.

The Dark Eye is similar to this.
