I am getting a very strong Corpse Party vibe from this.

I just hope my office job isn't as horrible as this one when I get a job.

Man, I hope Human Resources aren't this bad in my future job.

More like Inhuman Resources, am I right?

Well, that might be another problematic thing: I think Doshi is supposed to be Indian, and Indian IT guys are also a bit of a workplace stereotype.

I'm not sure if Hugo is actually working for the Witch, or just trying to curry favor to avoid her wrath and maybe get some magic perks or whatever.

TBH, out of all our 'suspects', Hugo is definitely at the top of the list for Witchy-ness. Kate and Doshi were definetly friendly, and Sintra is helping us, and while Chapman is kind of a jerk, he does at least seem to mean well. Sosa and Mappy seem too red herring-y. Rostov seemed nice enough, and while Malone was a little suspicious, Hugo beats her.

So, this 'awful' area you mentioned that was made slightly easier if we did the Chapman sidequest is underwater? Good to know...

You know what? I don't even know what 'Yuppie Psycho' as a title means. The words individually seem to imply it means 'An insane yes-man'.

When Doshi said the Lantern burns through batteries twice as fast, does that mean the percentage drains twice as quick, or that every time a new battery is automatically put in it uses two?

Man, first with the Sintra in Corvo's digital space, and then with that witch thing at the party, I'm impressed with how they can turn the cute appearance of Rei Sintra and make it creepy.

I'd like to draw comparisons to Silent Hill 4 with this party-in that game, you have the titular Room where you can save and heal without harassment, as a place to retreat before heading back into nightmare locations. Then, after you reach the halfway point, it starts getting haunted, and you feel threatened. This is similar to what just happened to the cafeteria-even your normal 'hub' had a dangerous area, but the cafeteria was one of the only places you couldn't get hurt in-then they take it away from you.

And whose idea was it to share first names?

I started this video before I went to work, and then finished it when I got back, and now I have anxiety. :derp:

It wasn't anyone's idea, Kate just accidentally called Brian by his first name, and then Rostov asked what if that was his first name. Brian said 'yeah', then Rostov gave hers. That prompted Kate, Sosa, and Melone to give them, and then Brian asked Chapman for his.

Also, remind me, who is Marshall? He seems vaguely familiar I just don't remember.

We saw him in the hive. He was menacing and said to pretend Brian never saw him and that they'll meet again in the future, I think?

And we STILL don't know where or who the Witch is!

AM's explanation gave us some help, sure, but Domori and Rei are both probably dead!

Man, I think this may be the first time a villain has given their tragic backstory and I went "I don't care, you're still an rear end" that I'm sure was on-purpose from the devs.

Man, I feel bad. Off hand, I can remember Chapman and Rostov's names for sure, and I think I remember Malone's, but I can't for the life of me remember Sosa's or Doshi's. :(

I know Sosa's (Marta) and Doshi's (Inay), as well as Chapman's, but I forgot Rostov's and Malone's.

Spader strikes me as just... above all this mess? He's a contracted worker, so the Witch is just a temporary problem for him.

Given that the Athame is said to 'ward away the Witch' do you take less damage if it's in your inventory? Do enemies ignore you or is it harder for them to find you?

Maybe Spader will get explained in some DLC?

Someone mentioned this game having DLC coming later, I think.

That DLC/Expansion Pack thingy we were discussing seems to be pretty naturally a "Help Rei and Domori get the last remnants of Witchyness out of the building" postgame.

Also, that URL on the card leads to a Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=channel?UCoPWosoKtOXEFCP9Qmu31dA

It's off-putting and sudden that Rei went immediately back to giggling child after showing some form of maturity in the robot. It would seem that she should understand the situation as she says that she has access to Sintranet's computer system.

I have a feeling that Rei was deliberately acting more childish just to annoy Hugo.

I mean... we did help make everyone else's lives a little less witchy and better.

And, again, I think Rei was acting immature just to piss Hugo off. She was a bit better about that in the Sintra robot body.
