Class five! It's another hour-long one and I usually try to space these out a bit over days, but people had been waiting for this one - and I don't think they'll be disappointed! This is an amazing chapter - a climactic part of the game with great performances from absolutely everyone. It's very illustrative of the game's ability to toss its players around like they're in an emotional tumble dryer - we go on a very long journey through here, from absolutely laughing our heads off during much of the first part to fear and anguish in the third. This is the genius of this game. The immediate draw of its bird-related craziness honestly pales in comparison to the lunacy that it lets you into once you break the surface, and you keep on exploring deeper and deeper until you're this far into a storyline that you would never have thought it had. Anyone who's just heard about the game in passing may accuse us of overacting here, but... honestly, I don't think that much of this was actually acting by the end! 5-1: Sakuya and Shuu 0:25 Dad/Mum 0:45 Baby Sakuya 2:35 Doctor... 3:00 Assessment of Sakuya 4:55 Cleaver 6:40 Lack of fingers 7:15 Save point 9:10 Mmmmmmmegalomania 10:55 Distraction 11:55 Delayed reaction 12:35 Corpsing the doctor 15:25 Fate 16:25 Listening to Shuu 17:20 Massive thing 18:35 Drawers and hesitation 20:40 Literacy 5-2: Preparation 0:55 Take a drink 3:40 Physical labour 4:35 Take a look at him 6:45 Nobility knows no illness! 8:10 A Yuuya scene, do I even need to say anything more specific about these by this point? 10:05 Pause for thought 12:05 Dodge the scarecrow! 16:15 Plan 5-3: Brothers 0:00 Oh, the whole blasted thing. Well done. 2012-09-25 20:43:00 28 comments |
