just don't look at him. fuck is you looking for?

>>723689873
what's the difference between RPG Maker and Unreal?

>>723689138 (OP)
legitimately had no clue
it's like if you stumbled across an anthill full of talking ants that were randomly exploding, only to find out that they are exploding because of your voice when you try to talk to them

>>723689138 (OP)
You get a phonecall with caller ID saying its from the anthill outside your house are you not going to take a look?

>>723689138 (OP)
He didn't think before he acted

>>723690249
lol

>>723690593
He needs to be better men

It was just an accident.
>>723691019
It arguably turned Sam into a better man.
Uh, arguably.

Can I play dont look outside with a controller? Maybe this will be my Halloween game.

He was just havin a look see

>hard mode is making the tutorial fight take 3 fucking home runs to take down
this shits going to be a legitimate problem

>>723690249
I... wow.

>>723691225
that ending is false, it doesn't happen in reality

>>723691645
That's bullshit and you know it

>>723691373
im playing it on my steam deck and the controls are fine

>>723691645
Yes it does, stop being a faggot

>>723689138 (OP)
is there a cool spot i can read about the lore of this game?

>>723689921
Nothing. Never pay for unreal slop games.

>>723691373
Pretty much all RPGMaker games play better on the controller

>>723689138 (OP)
2.0 when?

>>723692182
Awesome, thanks!

>>723692227
I haven't checked in on his streams in a while, last time i did he said about by halloween so should be sometime in the next week, week and a half.

how did sybil know that the visitor would only be there for 15 days

>>723693078
She was first to look at it, she was connected
She just got a feeling

>>723691514
Is there actual footage of hard mode now?

Pretty sure it was on beta test branch for a while

>>723693881
Gnarly
Although yeah, the health does look a little high considering it's also inflicting bleed

>>723694415
This is what we get for people complaining that the game was too easy

>>723695079
It kind of is, but not at the point where you don't have party members it isn't
I noticed that the other doors are open already, I wonder if the only viable strat will be to wait a few days and try to get some party members before going anywhere at all

>>723689138 (OP)
huh, just watched this video as I scrolled by this thread lol

And I'd do it again too.
I SHOULD use another team next time after the big update though.
>>723693881
Scary. But hard definitely was too easy. I got the perfect ending on my first run, and once I had a full team there wasn't a fight left that I struggled with.

>>723696782
Hellen was strong as fuck until he reworked massacre, now i haven't tried her
Joel became strong as fuck once he got permanent HP scaling from devour and became gamebreaking once he got a skill that let him deal damage based off his current HP though he got nerfed to be more reasonable
Only sophie feels lacking because she's a pure CC bot when you just want to one shot most encounters

>>723690249
When you put it this way, I get it.

>>723690249
I would, ants are cool

The Visitor had the downside of being the one singular entity it had ever known in its entire existence so it had no way to know that it's poking and prodding was actually capable of doing anything

>>723689138 (OP)
Disregarding humans turning into eldritch monsters, wouldn't the solar system's gravitational state get completely fucked up by the presence of a body several times larger than the sun?

>>723699473
it would have to warp reality around it just to exist
Gravity aside the speed of light would still not be fast enough to relay thoughts into actions across its entire form, it wouldn't be able to eat anything even remotely close to its caloric needs. Its a living fractal, infinitely repeating its general form up and down in size forever. Nothing about it makes any sense from any conventional angle.

>>723699473
don't think too much about it

>>723699473
The visitor pretty much defies our reality.

>>723689138 (OP)
>think you're the only intelligent life in the universe

>but the people change you too, giving you emotions

>leave depressed

kinda sad

>>723699652
Despite the Visitor being so outside the realm of reality, it still makes Sam's good ending something completely nonsensical. Because in all the non-good endings, the most horrific beings come to dominate Earth, which suggests that if it wasn't for the very specific example of Sam, everything would have went to shit.

I wish there was a point to Sybyl, like her being a "good" anomaly outcome like Sam.

>>723700145
what do you mean a point she caused the entire visiting.

>>723700145
>it still makes Sam's good ending something completely nonsensical
Well, there's a reason why many things simply stop existing in the good ending.

>>723700145
>which suggests that if it wasn't for the very specific example of Sam, everything would have went to shit.
That tends to be how protagonists work. The best ending is you getting everything right and then choosing to reject temptation and thus stay sane then putting as much right as you can. The second best ending is you sitting on a couch for 15 days locked in your room doing literally nothing. Every other ending where you try to do something and fail it fucks shit up worse than if you did nothing.
And it only understands human consciousness in the moment it puts sam back together, even after communicating with the Exalted Four its still not sapient by our standards yet.
And Sybil was anomalous since the Visitor deliberately yoinks her out of her apartment in every ending that thinks its worth mentioning.

>That tends to be how protagonists work.
You're right but Sam still feels exceptional given the circumstances. Because he actually solves all the problems and saves everyone - by killing approximately 2 billion mutants. Like to think that only 2 billion looked outside is kinda ridiculous - it would have infected most everyone in 15 days.

I think what it is that feels so strange about the game is that the good ending feels very good and it's totally unambiguous about it - Sam fixes everything. Most games the "good" ending is "great job you survived".

>>723691645
Retard

>>723700145
In Sybil's case, I think that actually WAS what was supposed to happen with her - she seemingly turned into all the meat sludge you find throughout the apartments later, as though it tried and failed to make her into a living fractal like it does to Sam in the Perfect Ritual ending. She was most likely 'chosen' in a similar manner but without the ritual as a buffer, it just outright melted her.

>>723700781
>by killing approximately 2 billion mutants.
Mutants aren't killed. Its not even stated if he kills the absolutely insane ones or tries to just hold them until they fix themselves. The 25% of the world pop was the total world pop and was from the event in totality, not just sam.
>Like to think that only 2 billion looked outside is kinda ridiculous
Eh, i'm iffy on it. Putting aside the prior point, if you luck into an overcast day and then hear some severe weather report plus internet talk saying some weird shit is going down you'll probably keep your head inside. People could record other Cursed. And not all cursed died nor count as effectively dead through insanity/evil, plenty will continue to be citizens as seen from the ending montage. Plenty of the casualty count comes from regular people who died as a result of the social breakdown/cursed, shit like hellcar eating people.
>Sam fixes everything
>You didn't do everything but you were a big help
Part of the game's themes is taking the risk of extending compassion even in the direst circumstances, of always trying to connect with others even if its hard, though not checking too deep for the skeletons in the closet; it makes sense it'd have its good ending actually reward that.

>>723701337
some of the LOOKers ended up posting the sky to social media too.

>>723701385
Wouldn't work, Visitor's bullshit field fucks up digital images, only physical media can capture it

>>723701494
I didn't realise that. The tape is a bit of a cheat for that though.
The description did say the images were messed up and seemed broken, but I figured that whatever sane authority was left was autoscrambling images.

>>723700781
>Like to think that only 2 billion looked outside is kinda ridiculous
a lot of western retards followed the covid mandates without question for a couple weeks, if you see an actual mutant monster in your apartment hallway you'll follow it as best you can
issue is how many have homes that are impossible to seal across the world, shithole countries included
just imagine all the mutant elephants and shit in africa

>>723699878
You forgot the last part

All the things in this game gross me out too much to consider playing it.

>>723702067
Nah, it just distorts whatever digital code or some shit too. Anybody who tried to post an image of the sky just ended up with static but they could walk around with any kind of physical rendition of it to fuck up people with later which is one of the deaths if you develop your own photo and look at it. Its why you had to get all the specific forms of media that you did instead of just sticking a digital camera on a stick.
VHS tapes are physical media.

Jeanne is pretty cute, although that first sprite looks like a fat badling man. Her apperance actually improved.

It means that even for something as humongous as him drifting forever in the void it never gave him a single chance encounter with sentient life until he found earth.
Fuck space.

>>723702718
We should've drawn porn of him and shown it to him. That'll keep him wondering for the next millennia.

>Is there life out there?
[Aster:] It never encountered anything like us before. [Beryl:] Fermi paradox still going strong, no good news there.
[Aurelius:] Are we r-really alone?! Two sapient, intelligent things: some apes on a rock and the Visitor?
[Beryl:] Well, it only finds things that notice it first.
[Jasper:] Sybil noticed it because it obscured stars that should have been visible. [Aster:] She thought it might be a cloud of dust.
[Aurelius:] S-still... it's been traveling for so long, and it is so, so big.

This game was pretty cute

>>723702795
Don't draw porn of him. What if he brings it to life or worse, since every depiction of him IS him, what if he feels it and becomes cumbrained?

>>723702875
I don't like the implying implications. There's still the possibility that he passed worlds where life isn't developed enough to be into stars cartography and sky sighting. Maybe.

How could one draw porn of him if we can't even see him fully? What Sam sees at the end is a glimpse of its antenna, the main body is outside the solar system

>>723703017
Join the party dude

>>723703070
Add boobs

so what is this game

>>723703070
>the main body is outside the solar system
Akshually... There is no "main" body. The Visitor is an infinitely expanding fractal.

>>723703684
Technically yes but its still "extending an antenna from a node" so we are still getting just a smaller part of a much larger (theoretically infinite) whole.
>Where is the Visitor from?
[Aurelius:] It is from very far away. [Beryl:] Though it's visited the neighborhood before.
[Aster:] It didn't see US because we didn't see IT.
Where is the Visitor now?
[Aster:] It's passing through. [Jasper:] It extended an antenna to prod us.
[Aurelius:] The antenna connects to a node somewhere on the outer edge of the Oort cloud.
>Where will it go next?
[Jasper:] It will continue its journey through the Milky Way. [Aster:] It will return in a few hundred years.

>>723689138 (OP)
ngl i thought they were gonna cuck out and not show him. reveal was very satisfying.

You think if we ever encounter aliens they would be weirded the fuck out at the human drive to fuck everything that moves or even things that don't move? Or would they be just as perverted because obviously any lifeform that would become advanced enough to become an interactable sentient species dominating over its planetary milieu would be obsessed with the proliferation of itself, since that was the key to its success among other things to begin with, its undying drive to coom and reproduce?

>>723705095
Furnace by a country mile if we're doing raw power, new taxidermy is real fucking tough if relative to when you can first fight him

>>723705108
I imagine any sentient lifeforms we'll encounter in the far future will be just as horny as us, because procreation is pretty much life's biggest motivator.

>>723705108
If you don't want to fuck things then you're not surviving as a species. If you're not able to project your own qualities onto the world around you, including sexualization, then you're almost certainly not completing all the markers of civilization necessary to achieve space travel. The only question is if they find a way to kill it after achieving advanced space flight

>>723705108
>You think if we ever encounter aliens they would be weirded the fuck out at the human drive to fuck everything that moves or even things that don't move?
not that much, we want to fuck everything because it feels really good and we're always trying to find something that feels even better, the logical final step would be to chip your brain and have a non-stop orgasm until you die, either from shock, or dehydration or starvation
the other extreme would be to cut your sex drive and reproduce artificially, so we're in the middle of the road

>>723705728
>>723706834
>>723707371
I hope the aliens we will encounter, if we ever encounter any, will be humanoid-shaped and hot.

How big is this fucker damn I only played for like 4 hrs.

>How big is this fucker
yes

>>723708568
If that was how it worked then looking at images of it wouldn't cause mutations but it does. You need to perceive it for it to perceive you. I headcanon as its own default perception/communication works by deliberately shunting its consciousness into different parts of itself as the only way for its gigantic body to actually function, the majority of it is braindead half the time and practically a foreign body but by observing that bit with another bit it projects its physics breaking might into the viewing bit so it can function properly. But trying to shunt even the smallest fraction of an infinite being who casually warps reality into the form of a jumped up ape completely fucks them up. You get the tiniest glance at infinity and lose yourself amongst the furniture in its infinite possibilities of your existence
Picrel is a demonstration that its you observing it that's important.

If this was true walking outside, looking at the floor, avoiding looking up would be safe. Animals would all be safe because they lack the sapience necessary to fathom they're looking at something. Plants would be safe but the plant in your room changes as it sits by the window. Na I think anything at all that's organic that's perceived by the observer gets changed.

>>723710930
>walking outside, looking at the floor, avoiding looking up would be safe
It probably would be but there's nobody to test it because outside is full of all the other mutants who did look up.
>Animals would all be safe because they lack the sapience necessary to fathom they're looking at something. Plants would be safe but the plant in your room changes as it sits by the window
Both of these things are capable of perceiving changes to their surroundings. Sapience isn't the requirement, perception is.
