I just finished episode one and I want to continue playing but I know how I am with these kinds of games. I'd like to do a full playthrough all together instead of waiting for each episode to drop before being able to continue
I've finished the game already but I'm saying this from the perspective of my first playthrough. Also, I'll preface this by letting it be known that I get scared really easily which is why I typically avoid anything horror related
Anyway I went into the game pretty much completely blind and when the menu said it was a horror game, my mind latched onto that and that was the vibe I was expecting; completely ignoring the "but it's also a love story" part. I'm in the woods, I ask one or two questions and then go to the cabin, grab the blade, continue down, and meet the princess. I'm listening to the narrator because it seems like it might be my best bet at winning so I say nothing the whole time until he says she's unarmed and I ask if he's sure and you know how it goes from there.
I get back to the cabin and the way it's changed already has me terrified. At this point, it feels like I'm just getting sent somewhere I'm not supposed to be coming back from. I get down and meet her again and she's playing dumb really badly and it's obvious she's up to something. Plus, the Narrator doesn't remember anything. when the Cheated said something along the lines of "It's like you two are working together on this", I started thinking that the game was just me stuck in a time loop with a narrator who works with the princess to keep killing me which had me even more terrified of what's to come (the constant changing in her appearance also doesn't help lol). this feeling continues until I meet the shifting mound; especially since I can't seem to actually put up much of a fight until the narrator is gone
The Razor route is probably my favorite now because of how hilarious it is (and maybe because it has a special place in my heart as my first) but When I played through it for the first time it was actually incredibly terrifying.
Edit: I just wanted to add that another thing that made her scary imo (in chapter 2 at least) is how terrible her lying was (this is obviously one of the main things that makes this route hilarious but again, this is from the perspective of my first playthrough). She doesn't even have to really try to be convincing at all. it doesn't matter who or what you do or don't believe, she knows she can and will to kill you and there's nothing you can do about it so why not have a little fun and play into it a bit. that's why after only asking one or two questions, I just went with the "screw it and charge at her head on" option because I might as well go out swinging.
It's been a while since I've watched the office but I remember being happy with his addition to the crew and I thought there were a lot of funny moments with him; he seemed to fit in imo. I recently started seeing some clip compilations on yt and I noticed a few comments talking about how they didn't like him which is cool but then there was a video with a title along the lines of "in defense of the most misunderstood characters" which has me now wondering if this was something most viewers agreed with. If he is a more unpopular character, I'm just curious why
