THE PHONECIAN SCHEME
7/10

really fun concept and *fantastic* example of wes anderson's style. it didn't really feel narratively *impactful* in any way though, more like just a series of absurdist vignettes - still damn good!

i think he's just really fun to make alternate designs for personally

the playthrough was astralspiff if that's any indicator, though apparently he had to just Stop two hours in because of rampant awful technical issues so. Womp Womp

playthrough i watched the first hour of said that it's like if security breach was good

i've barely seen any of it because i've been distracted by other stuff today but the premise and theming look very promising to me i like that there's just a general warehouse of horrors that fazbear entertainment siezed a bunch of shit from and presented as their own

i can't actually hear the freedom motif in catswing but this is hilarious enough to me that i'm accepting it as fact either way

WAIT NO HOLD ON THIS IS SO FUNNY BECAUSE THE MIKES ARE DRIVEN INSANE DUE TO UNDERSTANDING OF METANARRATIVE INSIGNIFICANCE IN THE SAME WAY AS THE SECRET BOSSES *WITHOUT HAVING A SHADOW CRYSTAL*. THAT'S ALL NATURAL HOMEGROWN MANIA

no yeah i entirely agree, that motif is one of my favorite things about the game and its absence is devastating. the inevitable wave of ramb fantracks is already vindicating me though

i got back into it the other day and was excited to see an update coincidentally release until i realized it was a post postgame boss that takes two ingame years minimum to get to, requires an entire island to be terraformed, and fires heat seeking missiles. Give us new Swords or something

i feel like with all the insane hints we're getting chapter 5 is just going to be THE best one straight up

DELTARUNE CHAPTERS 3+4
9/10

outside of some questionable or frustrating design decisions in chapter 3, this was Phenomenal. with its overarching themes and secrets, deltarune as a complete and finished product is likely going to be one of my favorite works of fiction ever made

rag i had to go back and replay the entire thing immediately after i beat it the first time because i wanted to just go back and do the secret boss from a continued save (which is POSSIBLE IN THE FIRST 2 CHAPTERS) and you just Can't

i really fuck with it writingwise but it's the only place between all chapters where you can just get locked out of content permanently without realizing and it's kinda frustrating as fuck
