      Better yet, you're told that the information you send them only includes the "necessary" information (aka to keep the secrecy of the Little Guy existing)
      So you get a pamphlet like "cracks in your wall? Leave out some cheesecake every night" as if that's normal anti-termite advice.
      You have to wonder what the [obedient] callers are assuming about these pamphlets. We know from experience one guy gets a Bogart because he refused to leave out some cheese for the Common Hobb, but of the people that actually follow instructions what are they thinking??
      Are they like "...maybe termites have dairy allergies?" and just scratching their heads in puzzlement? Lmao

    something i love about this game that it very subtly leads you to ignore all the extremely normal explanations for what might be happening in the home because you become so focused on all the bizarre fae creatures. “hey there’s cracks in my walls and my cat is so fixated on it” turns into termites overlooked because instead there’s a possibility of fracture hobbs which is much more interesting. a pipe that makes strange sounds and smells bad almost gets overlooked as being a supernatural occurrence rather than just frozen pipes.
    it’s such a genius way to slightly mislead the player and make them focus on the strange mysteries and get immersed in the game’s lore

      It's also a great reminder for real life that sometimes when something Really Weird is going on, it has a simple cause or solution. Such as carbon monoxide poisoning causing a lot of weird symptoms or mice in the walls causing strange noises. I remember when I had scurvy a few years ago, my body was just kind of gradually falling apart and I felt like I was going crazy or getting really sick. Turns out I was just malnourished!

      The Fae in this game give a weird vibe of like, mildly common information?
      Like, you can totally look up anything you're curious about nowadays, but back in the 90s, internet was either so slow or non-existent that you couldn't just search up something that wasn't in an encyclopedia.
      So it makes sense that these doctors and cops (careers with job training and therefore a reliable dissertation of information) will know about the fae while also not wanting to directly talk about them due to the amount of fae that react violently to being mentioned.
      So it's this weird give and take of like, the Fae are _technically_ common information, but people are either so unwilling to notice or too engrossed in other things to care, so it takes an expert in a field mentioning something for it to come up. Maybe if this universe took place about a decade later, there would be more of a conspiracy effort to keep the fae metaphorically locked away, whereas in the 90s it's super easy for the information to sorta fester and die somewhere in the chain of communication.
      TL:DR - I think Fae are common knowledge, but most people just willfully ignore them, akin to vaccine disbelief or tax rules

      I'd always understood Pookah (or pucca) to just be a literal translation of the world goblin and had no idea they were this specific type of animal thing.
      That being said the word "goblin" is much like the word "fairy" in that it's often just an encompassing umbrella term for "anything not human".

    • @HisuiCotton
      @HisuiCotton 11 місяців тому +3

      @baydiac Yeah! I remembered the Spiderwick version so well because it said they often took the form a black dog and there was this neighbor I had who had a larger black poodle and I would just think "It's a golbin dog!" I think it especially stuck with me because there was a story attached about this kid who was getting bullied and how the pookah (as a black dog) protected him and walked him home but didn't do anything beyond that. I always thought that was cool.
      Technically I think the spiderwick guide was about fairies, goblins and trolls, but the word fairy stuck with me because of that michevious but sometimes harmless kind of creature and i liked that. It's interesting and I feel like this game definitely nailed that idea.

    I haven't seen anyone comment on this, but I have a theory that you get turned into a Mus Musculus Loquentes, aka, a Smart Mouse, if you fail at your job and get a bad ending. That's why the Smart Mouse's squeaks get translated to "help me", because they're people trapped as mice.
    The Mike person that you get the warning emails from was a previous employee. He got turned into a Smart Mouse because he failed to meet the expectations of the managers, and he went into hiding in the hole in the wall and tried to warn you. He types so badly because he's just a little guy who has to run all over the keyboard.
    After he goes missing, and the higher-ups lose track of him or discover his emails to you, they get an office cat to hunt him down.

    One of my favorite unexpected game surprises is when a game I didn't expect to have FMV suddenly has FMV yessssss

    Watching this stream live then immediately listening to the first episode of The Magnus Protocol was wild because it was basically the same thing

    Clicked on this one getting really excited because I love scp-type spooky stuff.
    Very grateful for the phobia warnings!! After skimming the chapters the mods set up, I realise i have to skip this game entirely, because throughout the *whole* game, bugs is a reapearing topic and it's not possible to watch, say, "just the second half" to avoid the bugs. So oh well, not one for me, but again extremely grateful for the devs, hosts and mods to make sure we all are safe here.

    This game made for a great stream, also Julia's face journeys listening to supervisor Carol's messages are a delight

    throughout the entire memory wisp vs mirror sprite debate i kept shouting in my head "no no NO he didn't say he couldn't remember his wife's face, he said it was GONE! what if the mirror sprite took his wife's face!"

      I thought that at first too but he did say she was dead at one point, so would be kinda weird to say that about a corpse

      Sorry but you were wrong, it's memory wisp. I played this game and put mirror sprite initially and it came back incorrect.
      On a 2nd playthrough I understood why: He's talking about not being able to "see" her face in his mind's eye, if she was in front of him right now without a face he'd be saying "her face is gone" rather than focusing on the fact he can't "see" it.
      He'd also probably be more scared and shocked about it rather than sad and despairing because it would be an immediate emergency.

    My cat was cuddling with my 9 y-o and head-butted her so hard she knocked a loose tooth out. Much panic from everyone- the child, the cat, myself when everyone else started panicking... So I sympathize with Jacob's chair cuddles woes.
