little hu analysis time!

i love hu, she’s grown on me a lot since pt2 dropped ehehe heh i’d like to make a formal apology to her for thinking she was the culprit for a year

this is just an analysis about hu’s secret/secret quote because i’m a freshman sem 1 psychology major and i like this stuff ^^

spoilers for drdt obviously ^^

tw for suicide

as a quick recap: hu’s secret is “you were quite the hopeless child. dying once wasn’t enough, so you attempted suicide 3 times” and her secret quote is “i want to pay for what i did. but i still want to live” (something like that)

i’ll start w the secret quote bc it’s the simpler one^^

by “pay for what i did” i think she means laying up her life as comeuppance for her actions, whatever they might be. now im not sure if by attempted, it’s failed attempts or hu wanting to but chickening out at the last minute. either way my point stands

now onto the secret!! this is a bit of assumption and i could just be looking into it wayyy too much but ykw? its fun!

there’s one specific phrase i’d like to look at: “*dying once wasn’t enough*, so you attempted suicide 3 times”

if the wording is meant to be very specific, then this raises a question. those question being; what does she mean by “dying once”?

for this next part: spoilers for both corpse factory (the game) and the silent patient (a book by alex michaelides)

i’ll explain it in brief terms w/out any spoilers after those sections dw!! i just like using examples for things

CORPSE FACTORY SPOILERS:

near the end, noriko talks about aoi’s childhood and how aoi is under the impression that noriko’s childhood was better (it wasn’t but i digress) noriko mentions aoi said something like “my dad killed me, but i killed him, so it’s okay.” ignoring the last bit, what does aoi mean by “killed me?”

aoi’s dad was quite the violent and both verbally and physically abusive guy. there are things that people can say that are equivalent or even worse than being stabbed or shot upfront, like things such as

(tw for verbal abuse(?) i actually dk how to categorize these im sorry)

“i wish you were never born” or “i wish you died instead of ____!!”

these things hurt like hell, and in some cases you feel like it would have been better to literally be murdered

SILENT PATIENT SPOILERS

near the end of the book, alicia recounts the experience she had growing up with her dad and how one day, he killed her. sound familiar? it’s a similar story to what happened with aoi. then, when alicia writes in her diary about what theo did 5 years ago, she brings up this specific thing: theo had made gabriel choose between himself or alicia post finding out gabriel was having an affair w kathy. gabriel chose his own life over alicia’s, therefore proving he did cheat and shattering alicia’s hopes that gabriel really did love her. in her mind, it felt like being killed. again. in her words, “the dead doesn’t speak. gabriel has sentenced me to death.” hearing that the man who she loved for so long was going behind her back and would choose his life over her’s, when she knew she would value his is worse than being just brutally killed.

(SPOILERS OVER!!)

being said something so hurtful it feels like a stab in the stomach is a similar feeling that i think is the reasoning for the specific words of “dying once wasn’t enough”

im admittedly a bit sad that hu’s secret wasn’t talked about whatsoever during the trial, especially considering its subject matter, but it’s what she wanted so it’s okay

again, all of this is purely speculation on my part, and o could just be looking into the wording a bit too much…

ok analysis over!! lmk what you think ^^

[otome-crow]

So I finally beat Corpse Factory. Despite me reviewing it here, it’s definitely not an otome. It is, in fact, one of the more fucked up VN’s I’ve ever played. Psychological horror done (almost) exactly right. (Mostly) terrible people doing (completely) terrible things.

Basic plot: Cool website, Corpse Girl. Send in someone’s photo and phone number, and they’ll get texted a picture of their own corpse…hours/days before they die. And they will die. There’s Noriko, a bored, stoic goth girl who runs the site. Tomoe, a walking “blonde slut” stereotype (even if she kind of isn’t) who has no problem playing messenger with dead bodies. Kojiro, a morgue attendant a little too obsessed with corpses. And Aoi, the girl Noriko’s in love with, who can’t seem to take control of her life.

TW: If any of this intrigues you, PLEASE BE AWARE that this is psychological horror for reasons that go WAY beyond mere corpses and death. There’s very (VERY) frank discussions of mental health issues, anorexia, body dysmorphia, depression, suicide, self-hatred, child abuse and neglect, and more.

That being said….all of it is treated with a shocking amount of sensitivity. And I mean that in a good way. You watch the characters spiral, but for some of them, you also watch them build themselves back up again. (The good ending made me cry in a good way at one part.) They’re all motivated by their mental illness, following the current of their lying brains, and that’s why they do what they do. Reason, not excuse. As some of them start to regain pieces of themselves, they’re horrified by the things they’ve done.

You’re watching someone trying to manipulate people into killing themselves, and you still somehow feel bad for her as she believes that three bites of food a day and a few cans of coffee is enough to live on. That’s some good writing, IMO.

Also, I can’t say enough about the art and CGs. Each character has a significant number of sprites to show a variety of emotions. The art on the CGs is great, and there’s a LOT of them.

And the voice acting OMG the VOICE ACTING. Normally I speed through VN’s and listen only to important lines. Once I have the character’s voice in my head, I read far far quicker than they speak. But in this game, I wound up listening to a large majority of it because I just couldn’t get enough of everyone’s voices!

Pros: Excellent writing, characters who are sympathetic even as you hate them, AMAZING art, CGs, and voices!

Cons: Can be triggering, dragged in some places, and one particular part of the true ending came out of NOWHERE with very little foreshadowing. It’s something I guessed, but only because I’ve been obsessed with horror for 30 years now. And it was a guess - it was kind of a random “oops, we need to tie up all the loose ends and fixing this one will take another 1-2 hours until we do it this way” ending.

Overall, definitely worth playing if this is your thing and your mental health will stand for it!!
