Glad you enjoyed making it because it's an absolute banger, i love how towards the middle and end sections of the song it starts sounding heroic (at least to me)
The section at 1:59 changes this song so much for the better. The shift in octave and notes turns the dreadful and menacing song before into a hopeful and determined part. And then the section ends with a barely audible scream, and returning to the motif of the earlier parts, like that hope and determination being instantly taken away, reminding you of your place here. Wonderful track!
The determination in this section could possibly be for both the character and Hatred, as both are fighting for control since Hatred is attempting to fully take over the player after Greed, Solitude, and Fear have collapsed, whereas the player is attempting to control the impurities that conflict them on their journey. The aggressive and dreadful motif possibly represent how both also hate eachother, as Hatred causes the player to hate themselves, and that leads to a strong hate for the player's own self-loathing.

I actually began to notice a color theory with all the bosses in this game: The Cruel King is associated with the color blue, being able to control ice. Blue is often referred to as a soothing color, meant to showcase the Cruel King’s calm and wise nature. It can also represent sadness and depression, which we see in the Cruel King’s tragic and desperate attempts to save his kingdom The Griefer is associated with the color green. This one fits especially well with the Griefer for a multitude of reasons: One: It is often seen as a symbol of youth, which fits well with how immature the Griefer is Two: It is also seen as a symbol of greed and jealousy, which connects to the Griefer’s greedy and envious nature Three: Nature and health are commonly known attributes of the color green, and the Griefer is symbolic of one of these and a corruption of the other. He outright impales his leg with the Venomshank and turns into the Bubonic Plant, meaning he has embraced nature with open arms. Of course, at the cost of his own health, as his cries for help during the boss fight show that this is a fate worse than death As for Hatred, it is very obviously associated with the color red. The color red is often seen as a symbol of wrath, danger, and aggression, all of which Hatred is the literal embodiment of. Hatred can be seen as a symbol of danger in that it is rather manipulative towards the player in the guise of Builderman, and Solitude and Fear even try to warn them of this Hatred also shows a more wrathful side to it during the big plot twist of the chapter, dropping the more kind-hearted disguise and straight up insulting the player It can also be seen as a symbol of aggression, due to being able to attack players a total of four times, and two of its attacks either deal a ton of damage or straight-up one-shot the player if the ghost potion isn’t used. There’s a reason it’s currently the hardest boss in the game Idk if this is intentional or not but it is still super clever regardless, and I really hope we get to see this symbolism with the bosses of later chapters

If the time travel theory is to be believed, this fight is much more tragic than it first appears. I mean, it's incredibly likely the protagonist wishes to change something in the future. What that is, we don't know yet, but this chapter confirms that whatever happened was BAD. We can see that whenever our character sees some of the NPCs we're close to. Kyoko in particular is a dead giveaway. There's no true joy in seeing our friend again, just signs that we're not feeling well. If our mission is to save Builderman, why are we upset with seeing our friend, who should have no relation to our main mission? My (probably false) theory is that Builderman isn't the only one we need to save. The whole world ends in the future. It's why every character we talk to evokes a feeling of pain within us; in some forgotten time, we've seen their corpses. It's why the backdrops of the Dream World are desolate and destroyed. The Fear and Hatred sections in particular show abandoned cities (note how no other people, even enemies, are seen in that section) and burning ruins. The places we remember are destroyed. And if the world's been destroyed, what does that say about the protagonist? They feel absolutely horrible. Hell, anyone would be feeling horrible if your entire world was destroyed. Going back in time doesn't erase the feelings and likely survivor's guilt the protagonist is dealing with. Thus, the tragedy of the Hatred fight slowly becomes clear. It's not hatred of the world, hatred of any one particular villain, or just hatred in general. It's hatred of ourselves, a self-loathing so potent it's currently the strongest enemy in the game by a MILE. And if Hatred is attacking us, that means it wants us dead. The protagonist's Hatred wants them dead, which means a part of themselves wishes for death, and if that part of themselves is so absurdly strong... how much does our player character hate themselves? How much do they want their own demise? It explains why this feels so much like a final boss because, in a way, it is. The protagonist is fighting for themselves. They're fighting for Shedletsky, for Kyoko, for the ghost chef, for Red and Blue, for every single wacky friend they've made during their journey. They're fighting for the will to live. This battle is so much more important than many could ever know. This is a battle between the protagonist's desire to live and their desire to die.
1:30 I love this part, although the other IMPURITIES theme just straight up show what they are, this part not only shows you dread and HATRED, but also yourself. It gives a sense of epicness, afterall, you are battling your HATRED, so you won't be hating more besides it also feels so "nicopatty", it's really his themes characteristic
@Hunter00555 The other emotions will also be back, considering you feel fear during and before the fight Also, hatred became tame, meaning we can control it, why else do you think it would say it became tame
"man I love this game, wait slasher already?? that means the chapters almost over and the Ghost walkers in the next room, man I was enjoying this" *terry leaves the ghost walker unattended with the PC* "yeah, i would touch t hat sword too, im pure enough of heart" "I WAS SO WRONG-" my exact thoughts while playing this chapter
“Ah i love Halloween! I can’t wait to get the ghost Walker😁 this is so exciting🤩” **AFTER GAME** **”i have went through hell and psychological horror of cleansing my mental state”**
I know this game is inspired by earthbound but I wasn’t expecting ACTUAL GIYGAS??????? AND IN THE THIRD CHAPTER????? how crazy is this game going to get???
yeah I legitimately thought that slasher was also worthy of picking up the sword. Making him the final boss. But no an emotion is are final boss and the next thing you know. Your playing omori
The game went from “oooh spoooky Halloween!!” To: “You will reflect upon your actions, and learn to suffer from them, as we have suffered from being born by you…”
When I saw builderman in the dream world I got a lil bit wierded out and got a lot of questions and as More we progresed the questions became suspicions like when he told me to grab the TIX before fighting greed I was like "souldn't he tell me to not grab this?", and in one point somebody typed in the chat "DO NOT TRUST BUILDERMAN" right before he revealed he was hatred all along and i literally screamed " I KNEW IT"
I was on 2 hp with confusion effect and i couldn't do anything more than use smth cuz i was solo and my dumbadd hitted him self ending me up dying (i already beaten the chapter btw)
Cruel Kings line i saw during the fight is "Remember what you've learned" he was right Chapter 1 boss fight was melee attacks Chapter 2 boss fight was range attacks And Chapter 3 is pure hatred
The apparitions were a real game changer when it came to insulting dialouge like it used to be stuff like "U noob!!!!" but the appariotion's dialouge is stuff like "You hate your loved ones"
Fun fact: If you try to use Prayer card in this battle, it'll say "your prayer was absorbed by darkness". I love that reference, good job y'all(the developer team).
@@Not_Alaniusfor some reason i used it near the end of the battle and it basically one-shots the boss and its companions, but i think it's very rare that it happens. if only i had a clip of it... Edit: i realised that when hatred is 20HP or under 20HP then he can be one-shotted with prayer card.
Not only that, but Hatred’s charge attack’s flavor test is something like “YOU CANNOT GRASP THE SHEER POWER OF HATRED’S ATTACK”. Plus, Hatred looks kinda like how giygas did back in MOTHER 1
The entire chapter was a MASSIVE surreal experience. The feeling of exploring, seeing all the fun and quirky characters, hearing and empathizing with the distressful undertones of abuse and trauma; and then the game totally 180s on you and throws you into this total psychological hellscape from WAY out of left field. Had a lot of fun playing this!
honestly i sound wacky but this was probably foreshadowed by red and blue; iirc they said noobador took them in because purple and green were shitty parents
This is what makes the game so great. The raw emotions is displays go unfiltered and aren't sugar-coated. Those feelings are real, and the game treats them as such.
I love how this boss is an amalgamation of earthbound, yumme nikki, and undertales references. The amount of joy I felt when I saw, "You cannot grasp the sheer power or Hatreds attack," was unreal. I felt like I was fighting giygas for the first time all over again.
slasher dies, turns into a ghost THEN takes the ghostwalker would've been a nice alternate to the chapter (considering the way they exited after the fight though, they're probably already dead and can therefore take the ghostwalker?)
This chapter was bravo, absolutely perfect. ive never heard a theme that captures the feeling of dread yet tells you to push on saying that youve got this. dont even get me started on how hatred works, i have such a bad mental state that i deal with major self hatred and sometimes it feels like you have to fight for control, which is what i love about this fight, its a fight for control, will your hatred get to your head or will you actually be able to over come it? and as someone thats been there, its intense, which the battle theme delivers perfectly, the small bits of the song going out of the tension and becoming light hearted is like the glimmer of hope in you telling you "cmon, youve got this!! destroy it once and for all!!" is a beautiful story telling within a song. thank you for such a masterpiece, Guy, and we cant forget Nico either, thank you so much the both of you!!
fr, some people don't get the psychological horror, and are left in *confusion* by the end of the chapter. also, i saw someone say that this is inspired from another dev's past mental issues, not sure if it's true, but if it is... good god. can't imagine how one goes through this.
even the fight feels like that to me, pushing yourself past the hatred of being hit by the confusion effect and the attacks arent too hard to dodge, its just that theyre pretty fast
This boss truly reminded me of my mother, who had BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder). She's looking HATRED to see me as better than her. It's tragic to see her look like what I imagined her as a devil.
Cruel King teaches you how to dodge regular attacks. Bubonic plant teaches you how to dodge multi- hit attacks. Hatred teaches you how to cry for help in the discord.
1:44 This part right here always gave me a boost of confidence while battling. Even though I beat him 2nd try, hearing this part made it feel like it's been try 100th and I'm finally close to the end. Great OST.

The only thing that needs a nerf, dodging pk thunder on hard mode SO FUCKING STUPID THAT A I HATE (yes it's a skill issue but I am a goat at dodging normal pk thunder but not hard)
when i got to this boss i told myself "50 hp? must be easy" then missed every block and immediately used my self revive i spent the entire battle healing before i died and went "MAN I GOTTA LOCK IN" really good boss and theme
I first tried both of the other bosses in this area (to the point where I can’t remember their names lol) and I saw this guy and went “Alright you ain’t got nothing on me” Oh yeah he got me alright (I pulled through on like my 10th attempt tho without using any summons; just me, Ante Up, my rocket launcer, my space bar, and the physical enbodiment of hatred ready to throw hands)
The fact that all of the chapters go over some sort of problem is interesting Chapter 1: how power can corrupted even the kindest. Chapter 2: How no matter who you are, someone loves and cares about you. Chapter 3: How keeping your mental health in check is very important, alongside that a lot of people are willing to listen and help. (Kyoko the goat)
Chapter 1’s boss is more so like “How Despair and desperation can corrupt even the kindest.” Cause we do know that cruel king is corrupted not because of power but because of the fact he saw the future of his kingdom and his people, he wishes to change that future at any cost, he was desperate to save his people
this entire boss was an earthbound reference. like the whole thing. its silhouette is just giuege's, the colors and theming are very much just giygas', the song has melodies of porky means business all throughout it (and a bit of gasters theme if you want to be schizobob), as well as having the giygas attacks theme (part of the earthbound intro) at 2:44 (some people will def know this from megalo strike back instead cuz its also used in that) this felt like a FINAL final boss and somehow this is only the final boss of the third chapter 😭
@@josemiguelsanchezheredia8081 first of all, it's supposed to be " *it's actually "you're", not "your"* " second of all, he's correct by using "your", there's nothing wrong with this comment.
This is my most favorite soundtrack from Block Tales now. This soundtrack just symbolizes stupidity and your hatred upon yourself. The eerie sections are like a feeling of not accepting yourself and hating yourself for your natural stupidity which lead to this battle. Those guitar sections are like times where you're finally accepting yourself, redeeming who you are, ready for redemption. I got goosebumps just by listening to this.
I thought the game was easy and was just saying the entire time “they should buff this shi lol” until I got to the final boss. Instantly regretted what I said
Expecting the final boss to be the slasher, and ended up being a complete bait and switch was actually funny yet cool. The dream bosses kept having me at the edge of my seat. But this one completely takes the god damn cake. You, the player, suffered a lot till chapter 3. And you now have to battle those dark wicked emotions bottled up deep down inside if you. Greed, solitude, fear.. and lastly hatred. This chapter's dream sequences reminded me a lot on how people want to get away from, improve from, grow up and move on from. Yet those terrible feeling always hide out there somewhere in your mind, waiting to take over you, reincarnating as manifestations to pull you down. They done pulled the most omori/earthbound ass shit ever with mixtures of yume nikki and I loved it. This chapter was honestly one of the best things I have seen from a roblox game. Me and my friends enjoyed this a lot and we can't wait for chapter 4. Good job to the dev team.
@@Potato_master408tbh with you, yes, they ARE innocent. Fear warns you about Hatred being disguised as Builderman, they even attempt to "save" you by just.. giving signs to go, but what we did? We went to the "wrong" path.
It was scary at first but on attempt 2 I started getting greats consistently And really once you get the dodge times memorized this fight becomes way easier and I beat it on attempt 2 or 3 solo And I started with 11 hp and 20-24 sp bc I ran forgetting there isn’t a heal pad
Playing through all the chapters up until this point made me realize that when Griefer in the previous chapter talks about "the voices" and how he says "The Venomshank will be 'ours'", the text color pretty much matches Hatred's. It's also interesting how he says "ours" (in the same shade of crimson as Hatred) instead of "mine", which leads me to believe he took Hatred as part of himself instead of purifying and getting rid of it much like what we did in this chapter, or simply the other way around where Hatred has partial control over him. But at the same time he hasn't been in possession of the sword up until we meet him again at the top of the tree, so the theory above is a little shaky, unless close proximity to the sword is enough to incur hearing "the voices". Do note that he could be working for someone else entirely, because as far as the game goes right now, it doesn't seem like he works for anyone, he just seems to work alongside his Hatred for now. To me, Griefer is what happens when one fails to conquer Hatred, he became blinded by it, twisted into an uncontrollable monster to the point that even he lost control of himself, and he ultimately harmed himself and the people around him in the end because of it. (Which is a nod to the whole "You're only hurting yourself." and "You only hurt others." text in the hateful dream realm.)
@@OksDingus they don't mean worried in that it's gonna be bad, they mean worried in that if this was only the final boss for chapter 3, then chapter 4's final boss is probably gonna be even crazier than this
@@Skelephaser If I'm correct one of the later swords is located in SFOTH, so uh who wants to participate in a gladiatorial ring/war against their own will???
3 most common things when you fight hatred 1."player received mortal damage" 2."player was too confused and hit someone random 3."cruel king collapsed ed n blue collapsed\gorrila collapsed"
Not to mention I think its actually a leitmotif referencing Bizville! They both sound really similar, but I could be wrong. It just sounds so distinct like its meant to be anyways
Agreed, I died like 4 times before leaving actually how to dodge, my slingshot build no longer works so I have to use sword, thankfully I have defence and cure cards
Yapping warn💥💥 Since we saw that Block Tales is willing to shift its mood into literally THIS, i had a thought abt the ending Maybe the end is gonna tell us some philosophical stuff like "you cant always stare at the past, u need to focus on the present and live your future" and we have to choose between staying in the past, with all the friends we made but knowing that we'll have to abandon them again someday, only delaying the inevitable, or we could choose to go back to the future/present and the game kicks us out to enjoy our choice. And its not like im being delulu (i might be ngl), the game already touched on a subject like this w the Cruel King, the reason he even got the icedagger in the first place was because The Voices(tm) convinced him his kingdom would be gone in the near future and he couldnt deal with the idea that he would have to say goodbye to it (we dont even know if it would actually be gone, the voices could be lying) so he decided to freeze it in time. Heck, the reason why WE are in the past in the first place could be bc we wished we could go back to old roblox so we wouldnt deal w the bad decisions that are coming up nowadays, we keep looking at the past with rose tinted glasses and only focusing on the bad stuff of today. K yapping section over💥💥
I like how the chapter slowly shifts into horror, the dream world is cool and the greed boss in unnerving but still cool then a bunch of ducks ratio you then trees are scary then it turns into body horror then into gigs boss during chapter 3 which means we still have 4 chapters to go and this boss was literally the embodiment of negative emotion so imagine what’s next

Three: Nature and health are commonly known attributes of the color green, and the Griefer is symbolic of one of these and a corruption of the other. He outright impales his leg with the Venomshank and turns into the Bubonic Plant, meaning he has embraced nature with open arms. Of course, at the cost of his own health, as his cries for help during the boss fight show that this is a fate worse than death
As for Hatred, it is very obviously associated with the color red. The color red is often seen as a symbol of wrath, danger, and aggression, all of which Hatred is the literal embodiment of.

If the time travel theory is to be believed, this fight is much more tragic than it first appears.
I mean, it's incredibly likely the protagonist wishes to change something in the future. What that is, we don't know yet, but this chapter confirms that whatever happened was BAD. We can see that whenever our character sees some of the NPCs we're close to. Kyoko in particular is a dead giveaway. There's no true joy in seeing our friend again, just signs that we're not feeling well. If our mission is to save Builderman, why are we upset with seeing our friend, who should have no relation to our main mission?
My (probably false) theory is that Builderman isn't the only one we need to save. The whole world ends in the future. It's why every character we talk to evokes a feeling of pain within us; in some forgotten time, we've seen their corpses. It's why the backdrops of the Dream World are desolate and destroyed. The Fear and Hatred sections in particular show abandoned cities (note how no other people, even enemies, are seen in that section) and burning ruins. The places we remember are destroyed. And if the world's been destroyed, what does that say about the protagonist?
They feel absolutely horrible. Hell, anyone would be feeling horrible if your entire world was destroyed. Going back in time doesn't erase the feelings and likely survivor's guilt the protagonist is dealing with. Thus, the tragedy of the Hatred fight slowly becomes clear. It's not hatred of the world, hatred of any one particular villain, or just hatred in general. It's hatred of ourselves, a self-loathing so potent it's currently the strongest enemy in the game by a MILE. And if Hatred is attacking us, that means it wants us dead. The protagonist's Hatred wants them dead, which means a part of themselves wishes for death, and if that part of themselves is so absurdly strong... how much does our player character hate themselves? How much do they want their own demise?
It explains why this feels so much like a final boss because, in a way, it is. The protagonist is fighting for themselves. They're fighting for Shedletsky, for Kyoko, for the ghost chef, for Red and Blue, for every single wacky friend they've made during their journey. They're fighting for the will to live. This battle is so much more important than many could ever know.
This is a battle between the protagonist's desire to live and their desire to die.
This is an incredibly well-thought-out theory, respect the dedication.
Lovely read.
Ah.
Yes!

1:30 I love this part, although the other IMPURITIES theme just straight up show what they are, this part not only shows you dread and HATRED, but also yourself. It gives a sense of epicness, afterall, you are battling your HATRED, so you won't be hating more
besides it also feels so "nicopatty", it's really his themes characteristic

I mean after all you can’t kill HATRED… nor any other emotion/impurity because flaws are what make us ALIVE…

The entire chapter was a MASSIVE surreal experience. The feeling of exploring, seeing all the fun and quirky characters, hearing and empathizing with the distressful undertones of abuse and trauma; and then the game totally 180s on you and throws you into this total psychological hellscape from WAY out of left field. Had a lot of fun playing this!
honestly i sound wacky but this was probably foreshadowed by red and blue; iirc they said noobador took them in because purple and green were shitty parents
This is what makes the game so great. The raw emotions is displays go unfiltered and aren't sugar-coated. Those feelings are real, and the game treats them as such.

I really liked how we all got fooled into thinking that Slasher is the evil guy.
I just imagined Slasher taking out the Ghostwalker and dying.
That would be funny
plot twist: their soul is somehow pure enough??
I wish we actually got slasher doing that, And since they probably don’t seek to purify, They’d probably not appear in dream world.
slasher dies, turns into a ghost THEN takes the ghostwalker would've been a nice alternate to the chapter
(considering the way they exited after the fight though, they're probably already dead and can therefore take the ghostwalker?)
I thought slasher would get a rematch after we get out of the ghostwalker, this guy was the most unexpected thing to happen in this game

This chapter was bravo, absolutely perfect.
ive never heard a theme that captures the feeling of dread yet tells you to push on saying that youve got this.
dont even get me started on how hatred works, i have such a bad mental state that i deal with major self hatred and sometimes it feels like you have to fight for control, which is what i love about this fight, its a fight for control, will your hatred get to your head or will you actually be able to over come it?
and as someone thats been there, its intense, which the battle theme delivers perfectly, the small bits of the song going out of the tension and becoming light hearted is like the glimmer of hope in you telling you "cmon, youve got this!! destroy it once and for all!!" is a beautiful story telling within a song.
thank you for such a masterpiece, Guy, and we cant forget Nico either, thank you so much the both of you!!
fr, some people don't get the psychological horror, and are left in *confusion* by the end of the chapter.

Hey Rusty, lol
This boss was probably difficult just for you to hate it for being difficult. You are becoming part of it… *Hatred*
Well glad I overcame mine.
The fact that all of the chapters go over some sort of problem is interesting
Chapter 1: how power can corrupted even the kindest.
Chapter 2: How no matter who you are, someone loves and cares about you.
Chapter 3: How keeping your mental health in check is very important, alongside that a lot of people are willing to listen and help. (Kyoko the goat)
Chapter 1’s boss is more so like “How Despair and desperation can corrupt even the kindest.” Cause we do know that cruel king is corrupted not because of power but because of the fact he saw the future of his kingdom and his people, he wishes to change that future at any cost, he was desperate to save his people
this entire boss was an earthbound reference. like the whole thing. its silhouette is just giuege's, the colors and theming are very much just giygas', the song has melodies of porky means business all throughout it (and a bit of gasters theme if you want to be schizobob), as well as having the giygas attacks theme (part of the earthbound intro) at 2:44 (some people will def know this from megalo strike back instead cuz its also used in that) this felt like a FINAL final boss and somehow this is only the final boss of the third chapter 😭
Glad I am not the only one who noticed the musical reference the tune labelled The Evil Giygas Attacks! Part 2 in the Earthbound OST.
it has the earthbound cave noises inside the track as well (cave of the past and the regular cave noises)

You, the player, suffered a lot till chapter 3. And you now have to battle those dark wicked emotions bottled up deep down inside if you. Greed, solitude, fear.. and lastly hatred.
This chapter's dream sequences reminded me a lot on how people want to get away from, improve from, grow up and move on from. Yet those terrible feeling always hide out there somewhere in your mind, waiting to take over you, reincarnating as manifestations to pull you down.
They done pulled the most omori/earthbound ass shit ever with mixtures of yume nikki and I loved it. This chapter was honestly one of the best things I have seen from a roblox game. Me and my friends enjoyed this a lot and we can't wait for chapter 4. Good job to the dev team.

I spent the entire night tryna beat it, but then i woke up next morning, went to warm up on it and BEAT IT FIRST TRY (after waking up)
Nah I'd dodged
I was breezing through this chapter and then builderman called me pathetic
Playing through all the chapters up until this point made me realize that when Griefer in the previous chapter talks about "the voices" and how he says "The Venomshank will be 'ours'", the text color pretty much matches Hatred's.
It's also interesting how he says "ours" (in the same shade of crimson as Hatred) instead of "mine", which leads me to believe he took Hatred as part of himself instead of purifying and getting rid of it much like what we did in this chapter, or simply the other way around where Hatred has partial control over him.
But at the same time he hasn't been in possession of the sword up until we meet him again at the top of the tree, so the theory above is a little shaky, unless close proximity to the sword is enough to incur hearing "the voices".
Do note that he could be working for someone else entirely, because as far as the game goes right now, it doesn't seem like he works for anyone, he just seems to work alongside his Hatred for now.
To me, Griefer is what happens when one fails to conquer Hatred, he became blinded by it, twisted into an uncontrollable monster to the point that even he lost control of himself, and he ultimately harmed himself and the people around him in the end because of it. (Which is a nod to the whole "You're only hurting yourself." and "You only hurt others." text in the hateful dream realm.)
Griefer is stated to be an ally in a future chapter by one of the devs, this means we may end up defeating his hatred (somehow) in the future
Also, when Shedletsky refers to "Them", he uses the text color Hatred uses. When he refers to *_Us,_* we also use that color.
This is literally confronting yourself but ACTUALLY yourself.
this boss has me worried for chapter 4
i don't really care, chapter 4 is still gonna be good
@@OksDingus they don't mean worried in that it's gonna be bad, they mean worried in that if this was only the final boss for chapter 3, then chapter 4's final boss is probably gonna be even crazier than this
@@still_nota_jew3307 oh god i hope not, vlad kicked my butt so many times
It would be cool if the chapter 4's final boss will also have a special attack so you will have to use the potion
what's the next sword? I can make up one!
I’ve never heard a boss theme in this style that I genuinely felt so at home with.
Thank you for making this.
i'd like to remind everyone that this is just chapter 3
we still have 4 swords to collect
I have no idea where we're gonna go from here

I don’t mind
We all came expecting a silly fun spooky update and ended up playing OMORI
atleast the soundtracks are good
My thoughts exactly
Loved it
Exactly
WE PLAYED OMORI FOR HALF OF THE CHAPTER I DONT KNOW HOW TO MAKE THIS SHISH UP
Thanks for having me again! enjoyed doing the guitar solo : )

3 most common things when you fight hatred
1."player received mortal damage"
2."player was too confused and hit someone random
3."cruel king collapsed
ed n blue collapsed\gorrila collapsed"

Not to mention I think its actually a leitmotif referencing Bizville! They both sound really similar, but I could be wrong. It just sounds so distinct like its meant to be anyways
"Here you go, 28 damage per attack if not blocked + 4 damage for status effect, HECK YOU PLAYER! "
“Yknow what?”
*summons cruel king and spams healing items*
“Fuck you”
"also have this 50 damage undodgeable attack that's only meant to be dodged by ghost potion screw yoy potragonist"
“And let’s add a couple apparitions, like a strawberry on top!”
wait till this guy gets nerfed like a week later like bubonic
“yeah, i beat hatred pre-nerf” -me in like a week
"What, 60 Damage? That's not fair!"
"What could this little guy possibly have to say?"
"oh"
AND the flavor text hints at the ghost potion
Thank goodness I talked with him. Before, or else I would have died much earlier! I still died!
Doesnt it say your ghost potion resonates or something
The number of hints you missed about this is crazy. I'm surprised you passed the statue puzzle.
@@MrAnonymous2763 yeah
"The ghost potion resonates with tension" or smth
i used my ghost potion but i had the debuff so i hit my teammate instead and instantly died. i had like 36 health too so that was really annoying.
"Ghost potion time!"
*conveniently placed 0sp:*

*"YOU CANNOT GRASP THE SHEER POWER OF HATRED'S GUITAR SOLO"*
Why do I imagine hatred just rocking on the electric guitar
i feel like Fear, Greed, Solitude, and Hatred made this
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It may be easy to dodge BUT DANG DOES IT JUST MAKE YOU TREMBLE EVERY TIME YOU SEE IT AT 10hp
Agreed, I died like 4 times before leaving actually how to dodge, my slingshot build no longer works so I have to use sword, thankfully I have defence and cure cards

Yapping warn💥💥
Since we saw that Block Tales is willing to shift its mood into literally THIS, i had a thought abt the ending
Maybe the end is gonna tell us some philosophical stuff like "you cant always stare at the past, u need to focus on the present and live your future" and we have to choose between staying in the past, with all the friends we made but knowing that we'll have to abandon them again someday, only delaying the inevitable, or we could choose to go back to the future/present and the game kicks us out to enjoy our choice.
And its not like im being delulu (i might be ngl), the game already touched on a subject like this w the Cruel King, the reason he even got the icedagger in the first place was because The Voices(tm) convinced him his kingdom would be gone in the near future and he couldnt deal with the idea that he would have to say goodbye to it (we dont even know if it would actually be gone, the voices could be lying) so he decided to freeze it in time.
Heck, the reason why WE are in the past in the first place could be bc we wished we could go back to old roblox so we wouldnt deal w the bad decisions that are coming up nowadays, we keep looking at the past with rose tinted glasses and only focusing on the bad stuff of today.
K yapping section over💥💥
Nah bro literally spent prob like idk 20-30 minutes to write this out and got only 4 likes? Lemme fix that rq
I like how the chapter slowly shifts into horror, the dream world is cool and the greed boss in unnerving but still cool then a bunch of ducks ratio you then trees are scary then it turns into body horror then into gigs boss during chapter 3 which means we still have 4 chapters to go and this boss was literally the embodiment of negative emotion so imagine what’s next
this game went from "goofy adventure story game" to "A PSYCHOLOGICAL HORROR ADVENTURE"
