This might have been a cooler game if you could actually switch over and play as the witch, imo being obliged to clear the path for my fragile, AI-controlled sometimes-helper wore out its welcome for me the first time I encountered it, in that SNES Rocko's Modern Life game

on the one hand, those magic-naked-Gretchen supermoves or w/e are clearly intended as erotic fodder (which imo is a smidge poorly timed, given it's happening in the thick of a boss battle) on the other, if I had the power to construct a gigantic asstral self with which I could deliver devastating buttslams upon my foes, well, I'd be buttslammin' away and to hell with the weirdos

I really dig the way Heinrich climbs ladders the way jazz musicians approach a performance: it's all about the rungs he's not grabbing, man I also dig how Halifax's Blade sounds like something Heinrich read about in a poorly-spelled and -formatted pamphlet that promised to "InCr3ase teh L3nGTh & gr1th of Th1nE w3AP0n"

What the gently caress use even are witches in the context of this game, anyhow? I mean, Gretchen talks a big ol' game about helping humanity and What Their Powers Are Really For, but humans barely even exist in this game, and then largely as set dressing--nameless, undifferentiated victims of the characters that matter, the ones who can control space, time, life, death and the bitchinest light shows imaginable  . Even the largely useless comedy relief walks around in a magical construct-body that seems to be able to last indefinitely (as long as he doesn't touch the life-draining plot item). Out of one side of its mouth, the game talks about witches being tragically persecuted and powerless to stop the human institutions being used against them unjustly...but from the other side, in the moment, magic is exclusively for either wrecking poo poo or making poo poo that needs wrecking. Knights Contract seems to want to have a thought-provoking discussion of the dangers of power, and also pander mindlessly to their players' power fantasies, and the two do not harmonize at all well imo.
