Yes, your mind is twisted, warped… and mysteriously manipulative to us little MC … but if you weren’t sweet Dagger wouldn’t drop his pet names if pressed. Gotcha!

I could see you as one of those “good-guys” who becomes bad. You, you deserve a thing. The more spiders, the more I shall cringe. I really hate them.
[spoiler]Well it would be hard to cram all my theoiries in one post, and as of now a lot of them are at the stage of ‘hm… not sure what exactly that means, but better keep that in mind’ 
Some of the random thoughts though…
It’s interesting how we meet more than one cold-handed individual. And both of them seem important. Maybe it’s just a coinsidence and their coldness weren’t exactly described the same way, but if it’s not… hm. Might mean something but I don’t want to jump to conclusions.
I wonder if all the importance of mirror is just that it’s exact mirror we saw at the prologue. Or the fact that it’s a mirror and it looks out of place is also important.
Not sure if I’m overthinking it, but I found the lack of grass in the camp curious. All things considered wouldn’t be too surpised if turns out Freakshow isn’t exactly outside. Though of course sheer size of it makes me doubt this theory.
To whom exactly are we meant to be an ‘anathema’? To the boys siblings (and then I would think Furor and Lyssa?) or someone else.
And also it’s interesting that MC feels muddled from the start, even before taking lilium.
And the talk about the eyes and soul makes me wonder… How relevant it is to the rest of the story and characters. Dagger for instance.
About Cassius’s fortune-telling. I can’t be sure if ‘don’t numb to pain’ means ‘don’t take lilium’ or more metaphorical line about importance of empathy.
As for Cassius himself. He certainly know how to make an impression. The fact that he shows that he can be acerbic isn’t bad either. I think I like grumpy characters. 
And the fact that his hands clash in a way with the rest of him is also curious, shows that there is more than meets the eye. Though I guess it the case with the whole cast. All in all it’s curious to have a fortune-teller in a game where the whole premise is not to trust anyone.
And his style is not bad either.
I think being careful seems generally good idea with those characters.

WHAT @Lycoris how could you see her good
Ah ah ah! you’re looking at but the piece of what I said, and did not even the key part at that. The key part in that comment was becomes bad. 
I know but good at one time!

Oh boy I finally get to try out the demo!
Prologue: okay this definitely isn’t looking good for me but maybe this is all just some sort of nightmare?
Chapter 1:Bugger all, it wasn’t a dream after all. Maybe the freaks are as nice as Dagger here though. Wait what are those people doing with that head and what’s happened to me?!
Chapter 2: Guess it’s time I either find a gun or the chemicals I need for an explosive. Maybe a molotov could set the whole place on fire? I wonder if it’d be possible to engineer a nuke. That should definitely kill everyone here.
Journal entry one: I was kidnapped by psychopathic mutants today. Sorta like X-men but all evil. I’ve also no idea what’s going on,how I got here,what’s happened to me or pretty much anything for that matter. What I do know is that I’m now a drug addict, a possible serial killer, and now a circus performer(Hell of a day, right? ). So I’ve decided that I’m going to blow it all up if possible. If not possible then I will find the nearest sharp object and go for the people in charge. Will I die? Probably, do I care? Not sure. Will get back to that one. End entry.

@Zolataya heh I wonder what’s in store for the doll 
But it’s a rather curious thing, to be called sweet when I’m making a dark themed game 
Even if I make it possible for you to stop Dagger and his pet names 
@Seven7h not bad, I like being the good-to-bad guy! Though, I can’t believe how much of a baddie you’re painting me as Sounds good, and I’m just saying, but I’m not done with the spiders 
By the way, what happened to the cute dinosaur you had as your profile photo? 
@Moferiah I seriously need more people like you 
Feel free to add all of your theories! 
[spoiler]I don’t know if you have a very good eye for details or as I said before, I’m being as subtle as a brick wall…
There are plenty of details and hints here and there, I’m leaving breadcrumbs everywhere so later on the story no one says “where did THIS come from?!?” I love how you took notice of some of them even when no one else said anything (except one user I have via PM) 
Like, I thought I was being sly, but I didn’t fool you I almost died when I read your message!
And I love the fact that you used “acerbic” to describe Cassius, it makes me all fuzzy and warm Because it’s a word I use a lot for him (besides another one ) and it makes me very happy to know that in such a small bit I managed to show that part of him! And believe me, having a “seer” there is going to be very interesting 
[/spoiler]
@Nathan_Faxon, you got competition right here
@Lithophene thanks!
@Razgriz what a wild ride! 
I hope you want to stay around 
There’s info about the private beta testing on the 601 post

Well it’s not exactly possible for me to leave now is it? Although I didn’t think you still had room for beta testers. If that’s the case I’d love to join up! However you have to promise not to drug me or change me into anymore unnatural creatures as you seem so fond of doing.
Also anyone else thinking this is all just some crazy figment of the mind? See I’m thinking that none of this is actually real and that we’re sitting in some padded cell in an insane asylum.

Nah, the slots are wide open I will close them in two weeks or so, so if you want to volunteer, you’re free to!
I can’t promise you anything, but besides the transformation in chapter 1, no more physical changes for the MC The drug bit is up to the NPCs, though 
So that’s your theory then? 
Interesting, let’s see how much it lasts

Well I think I have a tendency overanalyze in general. And since premise imply we shouldn’t trust anyone and be careful I try to pay extra attention. 
I don’t know if I would notice some of the things otherwise. Besides some of them come up only on certain playthroughs, so they are easy to miss.
I’m pretty sure as times goes on there will be more and more stuff I miss, since there are usually options I can’t bring myself to pick.

I think it’s the right approach. When ‘right’ choices are completely counter intuitive it can be very frustrating. So in game where there are ‘wrong choices’ (well one that might lead to a premature demise), I’d rather at least have the chance of figuring which of them are before stumbling into them headfirst.
Maybe I’m just generally mistrusful. Like I still not sure if I believe that Daggers comment about redheads means he likes them, or completely opposite.
Problem is at the end of the day even if some of my assumptions turned out be right, I have too many and no way to know which one of them are.
Glad to know I wasn’t completely wrong in how I saw him. And not going to lie, I specifically thought which word would be most suitable for him.
As for other theories I can’t say I can offer much yet. Some of them have to little substance yet to call them such, and in others I want to be more confident first. Though I wonder if there is some connection or parallel between ram we see in the cage and Vex, since his horns were described like ram-like. [/spoiler]

Aaaah, that’s the true value of replayability If you don’t pick certain choices, you will miss things, and at the same time, if you choose x instead of y, you’re also fail to see other things 
I don’t like those choices 
Like, they kinda annoy me, because you don’t see them coming and end up like “what the hell?” At least I try to make the very bad ones obvious (like with the early death ending, where the narrative points several times that you’re in very dangerous waters: thus making a run for it is obviously not the best choice.
Well… I can totally say that Dagger is being honest there; the knife thrower loves redheads/people with auburn hair
I’m curious about your assumptions, even if they ar eonly half-baked or not complete 
Well, does it help if I say that those animals are Vex’s property? [/spoiler]

Not sure if you’ve ever seen the movie Sucker Punch but I’m getting a big feeling that the two are similar. Well at least we won’t be turned into a flying monkey anytime soon. That’s a relief I suppose.
The thing I don’t understand is, why are these people so blood thirsty? Is there some kind of incentive to be as psychotic as possible? Or have they just sorta lost all semblance of sanity altogether? If so why are they not just executing each other whenever they see another living being? Why perform,why have order, why do any of it if they’re well and truly mad? Simply boggles the mind.
