Mouthwashing 2: Curly's Revenge

[CrabNicholson]

Thread for speculations on the sequel. I predict that Curly will end up being rescued, but due to a freak birthday-related accident he'll end up trapped inside an animatronic horse and go on a rampage.

I think the question of if Curly gets rescued to be more interesting than actually having an answer. That's just me though.

Without knowing too much about the game yet, i do have to agree on a general basis with Iamus. The comparison that comes to mind for me is Cowboy Beebop. The show would hit totally different if a sequel anime/manga/story came out that was like 'yep, spike survives at the end'
Some questions should never be answered, and sometimes sequels diminish what preceded it.

So basically Five Nights at Mouthwashing.

I think we already got a sequel in How the Fish is Made. I'm sure the fish is supposed to represent Curly. LoL jk

I do like the thought of it, even if it just closes up points for interpretation which adds to the mystery/unknown horror in the game.

I could imagine Curly being recovered by a freighter/corporation recovery ship. Extreme stress and despair from previous events causes him to experience lapses of sanity, just like Jimmy, as well as the regret for not being able to stop him from killing the rest of the crew. Maybe he attempts to off himself repeatedly, but the medical staff taking care of him restrain him. He struggles to accept that his decisions lead to these events. He regains some sense of sanity as he’s administered antidepressants and antipsychotics. The rescuers have strong difficulties in rehabilitating him as they make their way to their destination.

From the player’s perspective, Curly can be another *unreliable* narrator. Having his faculties restored by prosthetics or implants doesn’t stop his suicidality. He turns from a liability to a threat to the new crew, his status as a captain giving him unwanted sway over the others as he unwittingly creates a schism, at worst a mutiny. Maybe he can make it home, but at what cost?

Or he could be entombed inside a powerful mech as experiment but he goes rogue after the Pony Express Chairmen who sold the company to buy bitcoins and and now are influencers on Theetube and teach to the poor how to be high value men and sell charisma courses.

i have a idea so say after jimmy shot himself and curlys in the cryopod say the ship got sucked in a black hole and put them in the future and they found the ship and saved curly and since its in the future they gave curly a robotic suit or something and say when jimmy shot him self it didnt kill him it just knocked him out and they saved him to and then curly would have the 3 other spirits swansea anya and daisuke talking to him and telling him how to take revenge on jimmy its a reach and i may of not pieced it together well but its just an idea
