Story discussion *BIG SPOILER*

[Branik]

I really liked the first two episodes. The politics, unclear alegiances and relationships, the atmosphere, etc...
Until I hit Episode 3 and Found my mother and learned about ''demons''... like really? I first though. I really hope she just gone crazy or something, but aparently, this is now the stuff for the next two episodes... I saw the screenshots from upcoming episodes and it looks like some Dante's Inferno thing. I dont feel that excited and happy about this... I really hope there is an other explanation to all this.

[SpartanWolf]

Yes, i thought the same. I just couldn t believe this talking from his mother. I always thought the episode would end with the betrayal of his mother. Well, but if you think about it, it was the C`Thullu thing since the start of the first episode. In that regard demons were a clear thing. But it s still a great atmosphere and they could still have a few twists in their hands.
I still like this game. The problems are more in the delivering of the last episode.
I really would like to see what this team could do with a larger budget.
The idea of mixing a dialog and story based game with rpg elements is great imo.
Sure it s rough around the corners, but for their first try it works very well.

I've doubts on the fact that Mortimer is possessed though, he seems really logical and rationnal, nothing to do with Adams or Sarah behavior.

[SpartanWolf]

Hmm, the way i understand it Mortimer isn t possesed. He is just a Demon who plays with mortals, nations, politics. He manipulates everyone, kind of his demonic hobby. He seems to be very clever in doing this.
If it is true what we heard until now. The thing is : this little speak of his mother was so poorly made and Mortimer doesn t act so evil at all. Of course this could be the point of all and the speak is just not written good enough for me to accept it. That or something will change today with this episode. Louis himself is still a bit of a mystery. He has demonic powers too, with his vision.
And that means his mother still hasn t told him the whole truth.

If the whole demon thing turned you off, I suggest not even playing further. Just started episode 4 today and I don't think I will finish the game

I suggest you play at least to the end of chapter 2. And I really mean this.

Yeah.... been there, done that.... When I learned ''mind reading'' I turned off the game and have very little intention to come back. It's becoming a huge mess

I really don't mind the daemons path but one thing that really bothered me in the episode four is how they handled Sarah's death. One moment you learn she is not your real mother, next thing you know she dies (at least in my game, didn't know you could save her by rushing the Mortimer conversation) and Louis goes on like absolutely nothing happened. Where is the five stages of grief at least?

[Samtre]

the 'daemons' was kinda sudden and it was certainly a lot of take in for the players as well, might be better to spread the subtle hints of the daemon story across the 3 episodes than to put them in ep1 (Mortimer's chimney). although you might say Louis's dream sequences might be hint enough, it just hints at his ability and not his daemon nature (and Emily/Emma 's).

not sure if this might be related, but De Richet's room on "Saturn Devouring His Son", maybe Mortimer plans to take over Louis at some point.

i would rather they just stuck to the politics to be honest as it is the what made this game so special to me but i am not as dissapointed in the whole supernatural side of things as i was episode 3.

Exactly! Politics and backstabbing had great potential... I would be perfectly happy with game about this ''Bilderberg-sneaky-stuff''

[Exogenous]

Meh the fact occultism is so prevelant should have been a hint something like this may happen. It is odd and the script is certianly flipt thought I just had things finally figured out then this ♥♥♥♥ happens. Only good thing from this is why Mortamer made me lead investigater to Emma's murder when I was prime suspect actually makes sense now sort of.

I'm quite sure that Saturn is, metaphorically, Mortimer's father. IIRC Mortimer actually talks about the myth of Kronos (Saturn) eating his sons out of fear of them overthrowing him. Mortimer calls Kronos tyrannical and praised Zeus, who overthrew Kronos and shared the power among his godly brothers and sisters, for his wisdom. Mortimer probably sees himself in the role of Zeus, and judging from the way real history unfolded he actually must have kicked off a rebellion against his father, using Napoleon to conquer Europe and spreading the idea of civil rights wherever he went.

I'm feeling like the game lost me. Not because the occultism plot but because the massive amount of plot twist in this episode. I really don't like the Emily and Louis conection, and the lack of emotions of Louis after discovered new informations of his life.

[SpartanWolf]

The changes in this plot are a bit crazy. This mansion feels like a crazy dollhouse somehow.
It s kind of funny, but not what i have expected at all. The story just wants to much, maybe they should have stayed with the political rankings. It s too confusing now imo.
Louis is just not emotional enough for this things. I mean first his mother, later his father and now he is a demon himself. There are just too many plotpoints without enough depth.
Still, it s a working crossover between rpg mechanics and Dialogs. I hope it sells good enough to lead to a second game with a deeper plot in the future.
