Capítulo 1
Cap. 1
-Entonces dices que un día como hoy, entraste disfrazada a un hotel haciéndote pasar como una “ejecutiva” te quedaste ahí esperándolo en ese pasillo con tantas cámaras de vigilancia, los guardias estaban así 👌🏻de sacarte y tú estabas ahí como si nada escribiendo un poema en tu iPad sin importar lo que fuera a suceder.
-Sí, así es…
-Pero cuando el salió del restaurante ¿qué fue lo que sucedió? ¿Le dijiste algo? -pregunta él con tanta insistencia.
-Sí.
-¿Qué le dijiste?
-Le pedí un beso 💋 -y en verdad no pudo creer que lo había hecho.
-¡y te lo dio!
- si… pero no… fue de mejilla de lado 😿
-El tipo es un idiota -Aunque él no sabe que él mismo se está llamando idiota.
-Pero al menos él se va con un lindo recuerdo mío. Es lo que realmente me importa, como dice Luis Miguel, yo lo seguiré amando hasta que me olvide.
Tumblr media
Así fue como inició esta bella y a la vez extraña conversación, Lina había pasado por muchas cosas y por ese beso no tan besado fue la gota que colmó vaso para ser considerada una persona non grata en aquel lugar, pero a ella no le importaba más que hacerlo feliz, muchas personas creen que aquella persona a la cual “acosaba” sin temor alguno estaba harto de ella, pero ella había sacrificado muchos días de trabajo para poder verlo porque presentía que quizás esa sería la última vez que él la vería a ella.
Tumblr media
Lina había regresado a su casa después de aquella despedida con la sonrisa en alto, pues una vez más cumplió su hermosa tradición de despedirse del amor de su vida sin importar los obstáculos pero luego su cara cambió al ver los múltiples mensajes de su celular… se habían enojado muy feo con ella, después de todo ya ella lo veía venir, ella estaba tan cansada ese día que no le prestó tanta importancia, a pesar de todo ella estaba consciente de que nunca se miraban al espejo cuando la juzgaban.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Mientras tanto él… él estaba tratando de recordarla, tenía muchos elementos a su favor, un relicario con una foto con sus abuelos, un llavero de una letra P gigante, 4 dibujos y como una decena de fotografías, todas con la misma persona ¿tiene tantas fotos con ella pero no se recuerda ni de su nombre? Tenía que leer cada reverso constantemente.
-Ella… Ella siempre es así, se ve tan ingenua… ¿qué se supone que haré con todo esto?
bueno, el llavero me lo quedo, porque de verdad extraño mucho a mi abuelo y sentiré que lo tengo cerca conmigo. Pero esta chica cada vez que vengo a este país me da un regalo por cada cumpleaños - se reía de tan solo pensarlo.
-Deberías ser más atento y considerado - le dice Gianluca.
-¿Estás hablando en serio?
-Piero por favor admítelo, ella es La Niña de tus cuatro ojos.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
-¿una niña? ¿Cómo cuantos años tendrá? La veo todos los años, cada vez que vengo a este país siempre se sienta donde yo la vea, es ridículo ¿acaso no puede escoger un asiento más cerca? Es más, tan solo falta que se sienta conmigo en los camerinos y me haga el maquillaje -Dice Piero de manera sarcástica.

just. god. having feelings about pentiment. about poor, poor andreas. because -- if he had just gone into the village! if someone had just seen him. the nuns lived right next door for nearly two decades. if they had only seen him, he would've been taken into the village, and people cared about him there! people continued to care about him for decades!
but andreas has never admitted emotional vulnerability in his entire life and he will keep all of his emotions bottled up until he dois. he sees how the baron's murder made things so quantifiably worse for everyone, and now his interference in Otto's death has led to all of this. and while of course it's not his fault, that's still so many deaths lingering over him. caspar. and he already feels... so empty.
and it just kills me that he spent nearly two decades in the original place where he had so much hope for the future. where everything was chill! He worked with Brother Aedoc and Brother Piero and he enjoyed himself, and then he literally sees that place burn to the ground and continue to decay for centuries. everyone leaves or dies. there's so many ghosts. hhh.

Unconventional Detective Games
Tumblr media
Return of the Obra Dinn, 2018
The maritime mystery game Return of the Obra Dinn by Lucas Pope is almost entirely subversive for a detective game. Everything in the game from its core premise to  hyper stylized presentation, is all ambitious and experimental. Every person aboard the Obra Dinn has mysteriously died and you assume the role of an insurance investigator piecing together the horrific events using a magic watch that delivers to you a front seat viewing of a vignette of each person’s demise. Using these dioramas of death, you are charged with recording the manner of death of each and each crewmember and passenger aboard the ship.
Return of the Obra Dinn and its addictively satisfying detective puzzle gameplay left me hungry for more. Playing the game instilled in me a deep love for a good mystery and a desire to solve them. While I love games like Disco Elysium, which stars detectives as its protagonists, the investigation was never really the point. Moreover, a love for the unconventional detective was entrenched in my heart and as an interactive medium, video games are perfect for aspiring would-be detectives.
Tumblr media
Overboard! , 2021
The year is 1935, aboard the S.S. Hook, Veronica Villensy throws her husband overboard under the foggy shade of night. In Inkle’s devilishly clever puzzle/visual novel, Overboard! you have eight hours before reaching the ports of New York and in that limited time you must relieve yourself from suspicion and guilt for your husband’s death at any cost. It’s a sort of anti-detective puzzle about getting away with murder which forces you to learn your fellow passenger’s schedules, plant evidence, and be consistently careful with your language lest your words betray you much later.
The DNA of time loop games such as Majora’s Mask and The Sexy Brutale is woven into the gameplay loop of Overboard! It’s a fairly short game taking around 2-3 hours to finish the story but at the benefit of allowing an immense amount of player agency. There is a wide variety of solutions to evading the mighty hand of justice, you are free to travel around the ship on a whim with no direction from the game itself. The only hint system is visiting the chapel and praying to God which is both cleverly diegetic and hilarious.
The nonlinearity of your objective incentivizes logical thinking and experimentation. The puzzle is rewarding much like learning each map and NPC routines in the Hitman: World of Assassination trilogy is. At first you clumsily trip over your words when Major Singh interrogates you but eventually you can get away with murder in style along with netting some pocket money from the life insurance if you pull it all off just right!
The nonlinearity of each puzzle in Overboard! is incredibly refreshing, it just feels organic and natural. Going achievement hunting in this game is its own little puzzle and I still haven’t figured out some of the little secrets it hides from us. It’s a game I can’t put down and haven’t yet been able to stop thinking about and I really recommend giving it a shot since it’s only $15 and only $6 if you catch it on sale.
Tumblr media
Pentiment, 2022
Obsidian Entertainment’s Pentiment was my favorite game of 2022 and enraptured me for long nights as I obsessed over its rich dialogue and gorgeous medieval illumination manuscript inspired art. So much love and research was put into the historical setting, it takes place in 16th Century Bavaria within the town of Tassing is filled with life and character. You play as Andreas Maler, an artist working in an abbey on a hill and whilst attempting to finish your masterpiece, your co-worker and friend, Brother Piero, is falsely accused of the murder of a wealthy Baron who was staying in town. You are sprung into action as you only have a limited amount of time to clear Brother Piero’s name.
You are given a limited amount of time to wander around town, attempting to conduct interviews, deduce motives, and eventually gather enough evidence to bring the culprit to justice. Because of the impending trial, time is ever so precious in Pentiment and you will never have enough time to do everything you want at your leisure. Every moment dwelling on conversation or recreation is time you could have spent digging for answers. In order to pin a suspect you must hone in on what you think is most beneficial for your case like a true detective.
Brother Piero’s freedom is always at the cost of another’s conviction, in Pentiment you must push the blame onto someone else. During your investigations, you find that Sister Matilda, a nun at the abbey, had been assaulted by the late Baron many years ago. This is one of the clearest motives in the game but most physical evidence points in other directions, all the while every nun in the abbey will assure you of her innocence.
Tumblr media
Saint John's Eve Festival Bonfire
Convincing the archdeacon (the head of the trial) of Sister Matilda’s guilt is perhaps the easiest of all the suspects to accomplish and Pentiment will not tell you outwardly that Matilda didn’t do it but it doesn’t have to. In a clever subversion, the game never tells you if you caught the culprit in the end. Pentiment, brilliantly, left me to wonder if I made the right choices as the totality of the lethal consequences of my actions weighed on my mind. You can easily convince the archdeacon of someone’s guilt but are you able to convince yourself?
The brutality of the executions should not be understated. You look on helplessly as someone you convicted meets an unwieldy end as they plead, cry, and eventually die. The executioner’s sword rises and falls as it lodges itself into the neck again and again until the head breaks free from the neck. Whether you like it or not, your choices matter in Pentiment and the consequences stare you down with a harsh disposition.
While playing Pentiment I was continually reminded of a line from Rian Johnson’s murder mystery film Knives Out. The titular detective Benoit Blanc (he’s so me by the way) notes that, “...the complexity and the gray lie not in the truth but what you do with the truth once you have it.” The complexity of truth is captured beautifully by Pentiment. In many regards it is a conventional mystery but by weaponizing the player’s need for clear answers it infected my mind for many hours after the credits rolled along with the minds of many others. There are fierce debates and chatter surrounding who really did the killing. Pentiment wasn’t as well talked about as it deserved, with all the games releasing it was overlooked by most. Well, it isn’t exactly for everyone but for the price of $20 it gave me a wealth of dialogue to mull over and wonder about.
Tumblr media
Phasmophobia, 2022
A multiplayer ghost hunting spookfest is not exactly what you’d think of when discussing detective games but Kinetic Game’s Phasmophobia is deeply investigative by nature. Intense inspection is at the beating heart of the game with an important twist. Where ordinarily a detective chases after a suspect after the fact, here your suspect is reacting to your every move and can (and will) kill you on a whim. In the game you and up to three other friends venture into a haunted house and gather evidence and clues to determine which of the twenty four ghosts in the game is currently residing in your location. 
You and your team will wander out of the safety of your van and into cold, darkened rooms to find clues by checking thermometers, speaking into spirit boxes, and throwing salt all over the floor in hopes of getting the ghost to step in it. Not only can you gather evidence with your camera and UV lights but another layer in your investigation is the behavior of the ghost. Knowing how aggressive each ghost is or how fast it is, is a tremendous asset in your deductive arsenal. The more you know, the more you can whittle the possibilities down until you have your culprit.
But finding the ghost and gathering evidence is just one thing, surviving the ghost is another. Being in the dark and bearing witness to paranormal activity will deplete your sanity and eventually the ghost will target you for a hunt. The front door slamming shut marks the beginning of a hunt, the ghost will manifest physically and chase you down and kill you if you don’t hide in time.
Tumblr media
Corpse of my friend, deceased. Moments before I run out of the house in terror.
Phasmophobia is a dangerous balancing act of facing your fears by delving into the darkness in order to find clues and trying desperately to find the ghost type as fast as you can so you can get the hell out of there. The reactivity of the ghost keeps you on edge as you wander the halls gathering data. Speaking into the spirit box may prompt a raspy whisper into your ear or the candle you just lit may be blown out moments after. More interestingly though, is the voice recognition AI that takes advantage of the communication players rely upon. Everything from saying you’re scared to a simple curse word can lead to the ghost favoring you as prey. Even players who stay in the van for too long get targeted by the ghost!
Within Phasmophobia is one of the most unique investigative experiences on the market and definitely a one of a kind multiplayer experience. The comfort of having a buddy to share your terrors with is stripped away when they stop responding to your radio! It’s truly unlike anything I’ve ever played and the developers are constantly updating it, two big thumbs up from the afterlife. 
The satisfaction from my first time getting away with murder in Overboard! and the despair when I find out I had the ghost type completely wrong in Phasmophobia are some of my most memorable experiences in gaming! And Pentiment proved to be one of the most well written games I’ve had the pleasure of reading. I sincerely hope you check them out if you haven’t already! They’re all pretty cheap anyway. And once again begging for recommendations in the comments/reblogs so if you know any good, and hopefully weird, detective games let me know! Thanks in advance everyone and I’ll catch you on the flip side :P

pentiment review & thoughts
so. i played pentiment. writing this while at my 4th play (with my first and third as same stats, different accusations). bookworm, hedonist, bookworm again, and now businessman. having a lot of fun so far.
was prompted bc 1) this game is a common rec for disco elysium players, 2) i got andreas maler in a blorbo uquiz, so of course i had to see what the fuss was about
spoilers, obviously:
prefacing first that. uh, i got into this game with relatively surface-level understanding of the late middle ages/early renaissance, and like very little of how this impacted germany. god bless the glossary. the only thing really guiding me was being catholic + my familiarity with benedictines (the people who ran the all-girls catholic school i studied in) so uh
given that, my 1st andreas had his wanderjahre in Italy, is a bookworm with skills towards Oratory and Logic, possessing a Master's in Theology. this will be about the first play
act i
what an introduction. i played off my andreas as an intellectual with a love for God but also a concern for people regardless of class, and i just went around being as respectful as possible. emphasis on "as possible," bc i can refuse to be a Lutheran and still criticize the abbey actually <- pissed off both gernot and rothvogel
the DRUCKERS! my best friends :)
spent much of my dinners with the farmer-peasants. had a meal with sebhat as well. tassing is so alive!!!
the implication that andreas fell asleep if you choose to watch matthieu and rüdeger go at it is very funny to me. monk sex is boring ig. also sorry zdena, im too worried about piero to fuck you right now
why did i think the baron was just an intellectual outcast. of course he's an asshole who abuses his power
THE KIDS! THEY ARE SO LOVELY!
none of these suspects feel like the murderers. tbh i probably should've settled on lucky bc he had the most damning evidence in retrospect. but ferenc just had more, and i was able to push him to the archdeacon
i am a coward and did not look at the execution
act ii
this Andreas just came from France!
"you are banned from the abbey, but i need you to come join me for dinner" okay father gernot???
the golden hand inn looks sooo pretty. surprised i could only make conversation with samuel until the troops were like, really close/the drinking quest
things got worse, a revolt is in formation. this was apparently a trend all over germany at the time, and not limited to tassing. weirdly familiar huh
when you want to escape from your problems via involving yourself from the problems others instead
caspar my boy! im glad to have known you
the Sommerfelds are so lovely
these aqueducts are so cool
it was so much easier to pick Guy, as far as the evidence i got on him is concerned. your embezzlement had an effect on the abbey's management of tassing, which is now biting all of you in the ass
i knew Lenhardt was an ass but i didnt think he'd go as far as to protect the accused
that ending holy shit
act iii
haha i opened tumblr before getting here and got spoiled about the mysterious guy following magdalene
my magdalene bg is Vitae Sanctorum, Bookkeeping, Haggle, & Volksbücher
Ötz you are adorable but you do not suit Magda at all
it does not help that the town ships the two
every single theme is coming together. the question... of history!
the letter writing being so prominent here is very felt
the familiar and unfamiliar are so clouded as time progresses, its insane
apparently ill peter can live *that* long
i learned the hard way after my first run that werner will be an outright asshole in act iii if andreas doesnt speak with him well via my second run; see, my major and only interaction with the guy in run 1 is during the drinks quest in act ii. the difference is stark
martha pfieffer i wish i got more time with you <- got her contemplating the monastic life in the 1st run only? i wonder what triggers this
fucked up that i couldnt send sister susanne out. i think i played my magda too nice with the nuns
snitched on the twins immediately whoops. this is fine, i can go down the mines myself
haha i thought baltas was an act iii-only character, i straight up didnt interact with him during act ii and probably forgot he spoke during the discovery of otto's body
the readying for christmas was sooo brain-sctatchy. seeing the direct effects of our choices in the previous acts, it's so!!!
gotta be real, i thought the discussions on historiography and historical revisionism were like, just there? i didn't think it would be the core of the problem but. of course it is. it makes me feel very stupid for not pointing at father thomas sooner
like, if you spend significant amounts of time with the guy enough, his distrust of collective lay men and assertion towards the authority of the church is like, very very obvious. you see it during the dinner with the baron. when he says the words that triggers peter into burning the abbey. when you talk about claus publishing the 12 articles and agreeing upon the suggestion of banning book reading. the story of how he and sister amalie escaped the fire from their old abbey. in my 3rd run, i got strong hints when i (andreas) decided to eat with the albans (fr. thomas is present in the meal), particularly when discussing the strictness of the abbot
also, notably, in my 3rd run, during the conversation with father thomas for the christian tassing quest, a Vitae Sanctorum Magdalene can ask about the veracity of the story regarding the marian apparition, our lady of the labyrinth. when father thomas asks why she's pondering on it, if Magda is also of Volksbücher bg, she can bring up comparisons to a story she read about a man who tricked a town into believing a head he possessed was a relic from a saint. Father Thomas will then outright ask whether Magdalene thinks that it is valid of the guy to lie about that. Whatever you make Magda respond, he clearly values it. that fucked me up upon discovery, especially since i chose not to question the story of the church in my first run. that's outright foreshadowing, especially since that conversation literally takes place inside said church
anyways, i considered for a moment as to how conscious Sister Amalie was about the notes she wrote. to my fury (against thomas) and relief (for her), she was very unaware. fucking hell, i love christian mystics, and i outright ignored the implications of father thomas as her interpreter
like, i knew such interpreters would twist the testimonies of mystics to assert the church's authority, but. i assumed that this, like the obvious real-time historical revisionism in-game, was just shit that happens. not the core. another blow to my observation skills, but what matters to me is that i figured it out eventually
i had an inkling claus would die but not like that D":
like. magda on christmas eve. dad's friend is back from the dead. the town priest has been responsible for the deaths of people who risked the secrets of the town. dad is dead. idk if the devs over there are interested in spin-offs, but the time between christmas 1543 and when magda leaves for prague should be known
the müller kids really take after their parents, and seeing them interact with old man maler really warmed my heart
ugh, what a lovely game. it deserves its praises
