Got the notebooks. Wanted to explore the slums more because I figured there was all sorts of stuff I missed. Got in a basket and it was all "Chapter four: the rooftops."
No! Come back, basket!
Can I go back? I want to go back! I think I missed a ton of stuff!
Feminina:
As far as I can tell you can't retrace your steps, as in actually turn around and return to a previous area, but I think you can load and replay a previous chapter. Kind of like in Life is Strange, I assume. I replayed some of those, looking for collectibles.
Butch:
WHAT? Shit. Cmon, game! I wasn't done!
Did I miss a ton? I did, didn't I?
Feminina:
I think you're OK, actually... the rooftops eventually let you back down to the streets. Just don't go into the sewers until you're ready to move on.
Butch:
No sewers. Check.
But sewers are so tempting in games…
Feminina:
Just like in real life!
I know, I know, but do your best to control the very natural urge to dive right into them the first chance you get.
Butch:
I shall resist temptation. I shall say "I shall resist the temptation to dive into sewers because I want to go back to the slums!"
Games make you say odd things.
Oh, and, while I'm not eager to play Plague Tale right away (hardly a holiday themed game), seems it's on sale for 39 bucks (down from 60) at Amazon for Black Friday. Do we want to grab it for later?
Feminina:
Oh...probably. Yeah, all right.
I am excited about the 700,000 rats or whatever.
Butch:
As am I, but do we want to plunge right in? I'm rather enjoying this run of rather mellow games.
It's only 300,000 rats at a time. Barely any rats at all.
Feminina:
What?! I'll hardly even know they're there!
But no, I don't need to do it instantly.
Butch:
Phew.
I still have a lot of cat stuff to do, yes?
Feminina:
A fair amount, yeah, but not 50 hours or anything. It's a nice, compact little game.
Butch:
I'm cool with that.
I'm digging it, but I figure the gimmick wouldn't hold up for 50 hours.
I hope it gets puzzly again. I was sort of surprised when, after getting to the slums, it lost a lot of its puzzle aspects. That was a lot of "wander around, find things" and less "solve puzzles."
This next bit looks like a lot of "run from Zurks." Not excited.
Can we please, when we play Plague Tale, call the rats Zurks?
Feminina:
Not unless they glow this time around. I have standards.
Weird standards, but standards.
Butch:
Fair.
I may slip from time to time. It's just so much fun to say!
Zurk zurk zurk.
Feminina:
Maybe they'll glow and I'll allow it! Anything is possible in the wilderness of bananas that that game turned into.
