  • Warning! This video can get a bit loud at times. I softened the more egregious parts at least.
    CONTEXT FOR THIS CHARACTER: / 1628484628326780929
    Welcome to my little demonstration of this red abomination. It's a simple easter egg, but has some interesting properties that I'll show off. It's one of the few entities that actively hunts the player, and is the ONLY (physical) threat that can actually net you a game over that sends you to the title screen.
    I do apologize to those wishing for more frequent uploads! A lot of content I'm holding off on showing, since the new update may invalidate a lot of it.
    If you'd like to discover more secrets and easter eggs (and trust me, there are PLENTY)...
    Here's a download link. Voices of the Void is FREE: mrdrnose.itch.io/votv
    ... and if you like it enough, you can purchase it (name-your-own-price) or join MrDrNose's Patreon. (I'd recommend either. This game is cool.)

    It’s a shame that when Joey summoned Rufus he was just stuck to a rock and it was daytime, he would’ve imploded if he wasn’t and it happened late at night.

    This funny little fella was inspired by a Twitter post from the artist Gooseworx, which detailed a "dream" they had where roughly the same encounter as in-game occured (minus it getting stuck in rocks), accompanied by art that inspired the model. I'm pretty sure the name "Rufus" is original tho.

    The way Rufus tracks the player with its head is really reminds me of those 3D illusion dragon papercraft things that always look like they're watching you. It's a good unsettling effect especially when he was stuck and staring at you through the walls/windows, it's really a shame that his pathfinding isn't the best though....

    2. Rufus breaks any prop, or entity (i.e kerfurs and omega-kerfurs)
    3. This event, upon failure no longer gives you the game over screen.
    4. This event could be survived by either killing Rufus (as mentioned here) or by typing in the console "rufus.fuckoff"

    Rufus is now killable with gas canister explosions and drops a mini fat-version plushie of himself on death. Make sure to damage the gas can a bit before throwing as it may not explode otherwise. One explosion on Rufus should do it, I'd throw from the roof of the base to be safe.
