still can't stop thinking about the how the blair witch game could have just...not had the blair witch at all and it would have been almost exactly the same (if not better)
#she's a weirdly minor part in the story like...seriously if you took her out and just switched up all the stuff with the sticks and symbols#seriously if you just gave me supernatural PTSD woods nightmare ft. carver without the witch?? idk i think it would be better#it just felt a little bit shoehorned in. i guess because it's so divorced from its source material it just felt weird#the ellis and carver narrative is where it's at imho i mean seriously that segment of the game had me LOSING my MIND#as well as the flashback sequences and just unraveling the trauma and the mystery of who these people are#could have just been a supernatural psychological survival horror without the branding of blair witch imho#also...'turn on the lights. the headlights turn them on' gives me chills STILL after the ending sequence#the best parts of the game were when they leaned into the characters of ellis and carver and who they are in relation to one another#the best parts of the game were NOT when the blair witch was around. it was whenever you were like oh FUCK so THAT'S what happened to ellis#or were realizing all of the narrative parallels in shock and horror as you ran through the house. really just the house sequence in general#BUT i will say that the standing in the corner thing is very effective horror which you could not have w/o the witch so i see why she's here#idk my thoughts on this game are very complicated i just really love depressed denial man ellis and crazy old man in woods carver#it's a real mindfuck of a game so i just wish they'd leaned into that more instead of making it so franchise-y#tbd just...thinking about ellis and carver rn#lauds.txt
