I don’t wish to sound r/IAmVerySmart lol - more so looking for similar experiences.

But was anyone else certain of the thread-puller at the start of Act 2 and it kiiiiinda ruined the rest of the game ruined for them?

The ghost/trapdoors as well as an admittedly wrong suspicion that >!Amalie presumably burned down her convent)!< made that part click, and >!Thomas’s close relationship with her & avoidance of all suspicion in the writing!< made them inescapable as the suspects in my mind.

Hell - I could have wrong in another timeline and usually am… However in this instance it kind of did ruin the experience (which I’m aware has far more to offer than just the murder case re character development/overarching story).

Can anyone else relate?

P.s. first time on this subreddit so apologies if this gets posted frequently but have searched a bit and not found the answers I seek…

While they may not sound the same melodically, the use of piano, electric guitar tone in the bridge, sleazy themes, and conversational nature of the lyrics have always drawn a parallel in my mind.

REM fans, what do we think?

E.g. Neil Young - Till the Morning Comes
The Replacements - Androgynous
Arcade Fire - The Suburbs
The Beatles - Martha My Dear

Something with a bit of a musical theatre swing to it - piano preferred

The more of a red herring the better

e.g most tracks on Sticky Fingers - Rolling Stones; I’m talking about ad-libbed wooing.

I will accept big woos and small woos.

Any time period/genre please.
