I was shooketh after that last update imagine flirting with the ROs and Nick probably be like just pretend Iām not here, or he constantly teases them djsja canāt wait for the next update!
At the end of the newest update, I was excited to see Nickās relationship bar was back! And far far above 100%, as always hahaha.
On the topic of the routes home, I donāt know how Iām going to decide which one to take between Glitch and Co.'s and Grayās. Iām not sure if my Button could say no to Gray when he offers, but lowkey I think Glitch and Kās lil thing is just too sweet to be passed up on.
Iām still a little sad that Grayās still weird about being close to Button . Thank God heās allowed a 10-inch gap between our arms, I guess.
The coming back of Nickās relationship Bar is enough to make me very satisfied with this update Jo.
Some typos, in random order. (Think Iāve mentioned one of these previously, but I couldnāt post pics at the time.)
Liked the Gray and Sally interaction in this mini-update. Itās always interesting in games to see NPCs have interactions and relationsips that donāt always involve the MC.
Grayās romance route can also be an interesting blend of cuteness and pining, which I enjoy. All the ROās have been enjoyable for me so far, actuallyā¦with the exception of Sallyāher nickname makes it an auto-nope for me. (Just canāt romance characters that share names with certain people I know irl, sorry.) But my Button and Sally are good friends, lol.
Of course, as awesome as Gray is, Rosy is still No. 1 for me. And since I enjoy a taste of ātoo stupid to liveā characters every now and then, my poor Button will probably dig You-Noh-Who, too.
Just played the demo for the first time. This WIP now has one of my favourite MCs. Iām bad with words, so I canāt really describe why, but I love how complex and relatable they are. Love the variety of personalities they can display, I guess?
Never thought thereāll be a day where Iām dreadful about Simon and Garfunkel though. The constant use of The Sound of Silence lyrics in the chapter intros had me intrigued and fearful of what theyāre leading to.
You know since itās a spooky season and we have 2 voices inside our head, I wonder if other ments can hear both of them? I would definitely try to get Nick on board to scare some people with creepy second voice
Glitch and K route is really sweet, especially with Annie to cuddle. But honestly Grayās one was perfect for my Buttonā¦ It just felt so soothing, comforting and ārightā. I think my shattered, overwhelmed by emotions, tired Button needed this comfortable silence combined with presence of someone close and familiar like Gray. Maybe in a way they both needed each other in that moment? Simply the quiet company of other person close to Nick, that is dealing with very similar emotionsā¦ At least this is how I see Grayās route and I absolutely love it!
Alsoā¦ Nicky Mouse relationship bar is back!
I have The Sound of Silence on one of my playlists and it makes me think of this game and all my paranoid thoughts about how things are going to shake out every time I hear it.
Greys ārejectionā hurt just the right way ( even if my mc would not do it I had to try ) I really liked it and I understand it, how could someone beat the burden of someone elseās feelings on top of their own.
even if I that might not be his only reasonš¤
THIS! I could not have worded it better.
Ahh you make it really hard to decide for a routeā¦ well then I just have to play ALL of them I guess
Hey, just a minor little note I couldnāt help but notice while I was playing through. In Grayās scene in the hospital the guard says he was a ācore manā in the navy. It would actually be spelt corpsman if he was a naval/marine medic. Sorry for the nitpick just something I couldnāt help but see. That aside, this story just keeps getting better with each update. Really excited to see where it goes next!
Wouldnāt it just mean he was pivotal for the platoon or whatever?
Maybe? Given the context of the statement, the guy is offering to look at sallyās leg since it was injured, I assumed it was him stating prior medical experience. If not then it seems a bit of an odd statement, I donāt have the exact quote but itās something along the lines of āI was a core man in the Navyā. Iām not a member of the military but Iāve had several friends in the military and Iāve never heard anyone describe themselves in such a way
Nahh it is Corpseman.
A Lil bit unrelated, but I love angst on any type of game to the point where I replayed the most angst inducing scene in a certain game. I just love it when character argue with each other especially if said character is not known for being temperamental and ends up hurting one another with word.
Does that count as masochism like āmind masochismā see what I did
there?
huhā¦i really have to wonder what Kās deal is. like they canāt be that clueless, right? it makes me wonder if they really read Buttonās mind that morningā¦like maybe they can only read emotions? it would explain why they can kind of tell what Buttonās thinking but didnāt see it as some insane breach of privacy. plus, empaths can read everyone, so K wouldnāt have registered Buttonās Pollard 0 even if Button was in their brainrange.
Nope, K was definitely inside our Buttonās brain that morning. I mean even Sally, whose Ments power is precognition and bullet-deflecting Grayson can hear our Buttonās mind despite not having any relevant power in that regard. Perhaps K saw it as a novelty? Something like a curiosity? K is used to hear emotions, which i currently imagine has a very abstract sound and that they need to intuit that into coherent thoughts . Then suddenly, they can hear someoneās mind in a crystal-clear manner without even trying. I mean, Button has a very, very special conditions (try the āwalkingā choice to see Mentsā reaction to Button in general.). Kās action towards her is kinda, relatively normal, but is still very rude and insensitive.
But well, K does feel sorry after thatā¦right?
Empathsāin the extrasensory sense of the wordāfeel the emotions of others as if they were their own.
Like the āoverloadingā Sally goes through with not being able to read Buttonās future, K feels the emotions of other people, even at the cost of their own emotions. In a āhigh societyā setting, which probably included a lot of snobby dinner parties, and country club gatherings for Kās childhood, there were most likely some incredibly toxic people around them from a young age.
So I imagine that they often felt very burnt out, and animals were probably the only things K could spend time with growing up that didnāt make them sick. The animals, and of course Glitch when K met them, too. I kinda want to read that origin story at some point, because I imagine itās very sweet. Maybe a little bland, and maybe nothing special, but sweet.
The stuff I blurred isnāt necessarily a āspoilerā for whatās already available, but these are more inferences than anything else, and some aspects of these inferences might be spoilerish depending on how some things unfold in Mind Blind itself.
If I remember correctly there was a tumblr ask where the author implied the reason K answered the door in a towel to a seemingly stranger was because she could read his thoughts. Could be wrong though I have shit memory
interestingā¦but thatās the thingā¦Sally canāt read our mind because it overloads her precog ability. the same might be possible for K. I imagine in that case theyād be able to sense general things like where Button was and how they felt in the moment, but not what Button was actually thinking. More importantly, what K could sense from Button wouldnāt be any different from what they could sense from everyone else. When they meet Button in the hospital, they say: āWhatever I did is irrelevant.ā Whatever they did? They donāt seem to know.
I guess itās just hard for me to believe that K would have behaved as ambivalently as they did had they actually read Buttonās mind. Theyāre emotionally incompetent, maybe, but this goes beyond that. Moreover, they seem like a private person. I feel like theyād be angry if someone had rifled around in their brain. That they donāt expect Buttonās anger at all would imply that they didnāt didnāt think they did anything to make Button angryā¦which would mean that they didnāt read Buttonās mind. At least, not any more than they did anyone elseāsā¦am I making any sense
i believe that what Sally canāt see is the future of Button, since Buttonās constant āmental chatterā at her brain overloaded any autopilot precog towards them. Sally still can hear Button if theyāre inside her brain range.
But yes, i completely agree with you regarding K! I believe that K regrets their actions (thus, sacrificed themselves to distract the press and bringing Antigone). And perhaps because i subconsciously wants to believe that someone who love doggos as much as K canāt be evilā¦Kās misstep in this regard can be attributed to them being āsurprisedā and lowkey intrigued. Although itās still a jerk-ish move.
Tbh, i love @LadyUmbreon89 's theory regarding K. If itās true, it certainly explains a lot
