It’s almost as if there’s text between “you couldn’t find” and “your hand”, that we're somehow being prevented from seeing.
Are there any other places in the game where there are large mystery gaps between text?
Hello, I dont interact with this sub usually, but im a big fan of halfbread’s content, and have been trying to locate the tts they use, and it seems a few others have been having this issue aswell. based on more recent posts asking this, it appears to be buried by other tts with similar names?
In any case, I apologize for this post only being tangentially related, but would any of you have recommendations on tts tools, and perhaps video guides to install or use them? It would be a big help, as larger tts subreddits keep attempting to push me to use chat gpt or other LLM ai tools. All help is appreciated
Unsure if this post applies to the discussion tag, so unless specified I suppose ill leave this post untagged
What initially made me consider this more than I had before was the ch5 weird route, actually, and specifically Noelle’s whole obsession with being someone else, and how Kris was able to do it. She calls out Dess’ “leaving” specifically as the catalyst for this obsession, and from what we know of Dess, being obsessed with being someone else would fall right in line - what teenager stuck in a dead-end town experiencing teenage-typical rebellion and angst under a strict mom and an ailing dad hasn’t fantasized about being someone else, somewhere else?
The voice in the code is tied to Dess in many ways, too, what with the whole ‘don’t forget’ line and her failing grasp on reality, memory and identity. If that is Dess in there, it would mean she exists somehow outside the boundaries of the game itself, as we’d theorized for a while, putting her in the exact position she’d need to be to interrupt the other being who exists outside the game itself, in menus and devices and credits sequences and, oddly, Twitter.
And if you assume she’s also the Knight, which I do, she’d have good reason for wanting our Soul to not have its own vessel; whatever her plan with Kris is, it’s reliant on Kris having the Soul in the Dark Worlds, as the ch4 phone calls reveal.
All of this came to a head when I thought about one particular line in the opening cutscene - “no one can choose who they are in this world.” It all lines up perfectly with things we can at least loosely assume about Dess, the code voice and the Knight, but I am only one man and have no idea whether this is something everyone else has known for a while or whether I sound like a raving lunatic, so if anyone has any contradictory evidence, please do share.
