Mum & MoM
just finished playing Man of Medan with my mum, it is the first movie game/SMG title she's ever played and I am glad to report that she really enjoyed it
We saved all six, got the distributor cap and Olson died of a heartattack, she says she likes how all the characters have their own thing going on and it kept her on edge. She doesn't have a specific character ranking(Alex is at the bottom tho she is of course glad he survived) although over the three sittings we played it Conrad grew on her first after initially thinking he was a little annoying, the second time she was endeared to Brad and Fliss and this time it was Julia+ she likes junior/Danny/Olson
She really appreciated that the player characters are empathetic enough to save junior and I'm glad we managed that in her blind playthrough
Some funny things were:
*coffin shown on screen before literally anything else* mum immediately: do we know who's in the box?
"really? Over 50 cents!?"
*corpse falls out of cupboard* mum: womp womp
Mum: what an ugly child
Me: that's Joe's son
*mum shoots at zombie child and then freaks out that it didn't work*
*me explaining Conrad and Julia as they get on the Duke as mum was playing them*: Conrad has big clown energy and Julia is mega adhd
Mum: ah yes perfect for me ✨
"everyone on this boat has attention deficit issues"
*the utter disbelief when I tell her how long Alex and Julia have been together*
And much more
She's very much looking forward to starting little hope next

Getting all my autographs up finally. This was the worst light to take a picture in but it is what it is.

Idk if you already did but this is your invitation to rant about how We Don't Talk About Bruno fits Dark Pictures characters (if you want)
SCREAMING AAAA
OKAY OKAY a bunch of different Dpa characters talking to the player about the curator. That’s it. Well, that’s what it should’ve been but then I got excited and assigned roles.
More detail is under the cut<3
* Mirabel: Player(you, good sir)
* Pepa and Félix: Julia and Alex
* Dolores: Nick <33
* Camilo: Jamie
* Isabella: Salim
* Abuela: Still not super sure but I was thinking an old guy like Charlie lmao
* Moriano: Jason ehe
* Bruno: Curator
Also the other lil freaks-
* Dead fish girl: Anthony(but it’s his family not a fish😭)
* Gut guy??: Olson
* Baldy lol: Du’Met
And extra info on why I chose each character if you want it:
Julia and Alex: Should be decently self explanatory; he can propose to her in game so like wedding time<3
Nick: “I associate him with the sound of falling sand”, if y’know, y’know. And Dolores’s part after Isabella’s, like he could be talking about Jason, sure(please), or Rachel/Eric. Idkkk
Jamie: I was kinda stuck on this one for a while, but first of all, I lacked tdim characters in this and second, she jokes about her trauma and stuff.
Salim: OKAY HOLD ON listen to the punk version by Matt Copley bc Isabella’s part sound VERY pretty and that’s like the main reason I chose him. He’s pretty.
Jason: Jalim? And possible Kaychek?? Yeah I’m in
Charlie(?? Maybe): Old person(that’s canonically real ackackack)
Thanks for listening to my rant. Sorry my brain is constantly smoking crack(it’s lack of sleep not drugs dw)
