I grabbed this game because of this LP and ended up playing the entire thing in one playthrough. This game is great and I love it, but I weirdly feel like it's closer to Super Paper Mario, of all things, rather than Undertale or Night in the Woods, though I'm unsure of where I'm getting that feeling from. Either way, I'm gonna keep watching this LP since you're often seeing stuff I managed to miss in here and I like your commentary.

I've definitely gotten a paper mario vibe from the game, especially with how characters are clearly two-dimensional in how they turn. Glad you enjoyed the game!

It's just as well, I suppose. I don't think Bard could bring himself to kill anything, even indirectly with moving platforms.

It's odd that Miriam isn't even coming into these spirit worlds with us. I wonder why. I mean, we can lead pretty much anybody in song.

Or, and hear me out here, we could put that voice that out-shouted a yeti to some real use, eh Bard? Eh? A little of the old Lok Vah Koor?

Yeah, I know, it ain't time yet.

After all this time, I wonder why Bard left and why he settled down where he did. Or was he even settled? Who's to say he didn't just wake up there one morning?

Bonus Update


So remember how I was insistent on trying to get to Miriam on the first day? That's because you can totally wait a couple days and get different dialogue for her. For completion sake, I also already talked to the astronomer as well, which means Miriam has different dialogue for that as well.


Well lookie who it is!! Do you know how long I've been waiting here? Where were you??

Well, I met an astronomer... who wants to shut down the factory...



SFX: Miriam Angry


ARE YOU KIDDING ME???

There's a Hero prancing around killing Overseers! We don't have time for your shenanigans!

Sorry.

Well, while you were busy prancing around... I actually got a lot done for us. I found the Overseer song! So we can skip right to the Overseer of this place.

...There's an Overseer here...?

Uh. Yeah!



Oh!

And get this, the Overseer song? It's the lullaby your mom used to sing to you.

I already know that song!

Yeah, total plot twist, I know.

So I just have to sing it...

That's what I'm saying. Ready when you are.


Singing the song plays out the same way.




Uuuuugh. Are you kidding me... the nexus point is blocked!

...Guess I wasn't useful after all.

Don't be like this right now!!

...

It's probably the disgusting smog in the sky... which means... we have to shut down the factory... So I guess... you were on the right track after all. Ugh. Y'know, just once I'd like to be ahead of the curve.

Sorry Miriam.

Whatever. Just keep doing what you're doing, I guess. I'll wander around as your hapless sidekick.


While a couple of lines were exact copies, most of this dialogue is brand new, and also gives much more explicit hints as to what Miriam is feeling. The game shows flashes of brilliance in the first three acts, but Act 4 is what starts to make the game something that I could stomach putting hundreds of hours of work into an LP for.

This is all sounding highly unscientific.

Man. This is not a good choice for the Overseers. So, what, the best case scenario is that someone has to get the entire planet to sing the Earthsong while suffering from one active and malicious Overseer and a whole bunch of death throes? No wonder it's never been done.

I found this LP a few days ago and I'm enjoying this game. I noticed a typo on update 10; you had a person say "vutie" instead of cutie. I'll let you know if I find any others.


EDIT: I caught up. Update 18 you said "qitch" instead of witch.
