    You lucky fucking bastard. I would kill to have only made it a few hours into Indigo Prophecy. KILL. The game turns to buttery bums about 2 thirds through, goes into QTE overdrive, and has the worst twisty turny end sequence in the history of gaming. It's like they kidnapped M Night Shamalangadingdong, injected his eyeballs with smack taped a pencil to his shaking hand and made up the ending from whatever garbled words he managed to scrawl.

    The game had a great opening, though that is sort of ruined when you realise that as long as you survive, the choices are pointless.

    Ouch. That's a shame. It seemed to have so much potential for awesome. Even the soundtrack was by Angelo Badalamenti who I've always loved from his work with David Lynch. I wonder what went horribly wrong...

    Thats just mean. I mean ok, evil puzzles? Fine? Fucking satan dogs? Sure why not? Shitty TNT not working after i blow dynamite on it? Go for it. But Morse code? Go to hell.

    D:
    I love this game

    EDIT:

    I had to get my pencil man. MY PENCIL. Thats not cool. I have used a note book and now I can no longer draw on it :(

    I'm about at the same spot as Helloween (yay for buying yet another game after seeing a LP) and keep getting raped by those evil devil dogs. Why can't I just swing my axe with a click of a button..silly dogs run away after two hits to go get their evil devil pals :(
    Open settings.cfg, find the "SimpleWeaponSwing" line, and set it to TRUE.
    However you really should just be avoiding them like the game intends, and this won't stop them calling for backup ...
    Guess I'll just have to take the stealth route...yet I can't help but pray for a gun.
    You wish.

    Hahaha. This was a fantastic update. When you did the Boris "I am Invincible!", I was just wondering what would happen.

    Wonderful timing on that.

    Also, I just love the way you go after/talk to the dogs. I'd watch a whole video of that.

    I think the dogs are more afraid of me than I am of them. Helloween don't bother with jerky, sneak up on those bastards and just cave in their skulls.

    Did I overhear something about not being able to lean? Q and E, for left/right respectively. IIRC, it doesn't break stealth either, so feel free to snoop around corners with it.

    Also, Hell, not sure if you saw it in the controls, but you can run with Shift. Makes getting up and down those long corridors a bit quicker.

    I also picked this up after watching the LP. I had tried it a bit back when I had Gametap, but never got past that first room with the satan dog.

    I am currently right before the morse code bit, and not looking forward to it.

    Also, I can't believe I didn't think to just stack barrels to get out of that basement. Took me like half an hour to figure out the ladder snaps into place once you get it close enough to the hooks.

    PHYSICS!

    I'm telling you Helloween just try sneaking behind them and beating them to death, save your jerky for later.

    Nice job standing on that railing, I laughed a lot when you tried to hit it with a broom.

    :( Can we like reverse moan at you to bring it back?

    Also, if you're feeling iffy on the combat, I remember there was something you could do with the config files that was pretty simple to remove the gesture nonsense for striking with a weapon, so that all you needed to do was click the mouse button.

    Made the game more fun for me, at least.

    These are lovely though <3

    Well the papers are hard to read through youtube, so i'll finish the first sentence of a piece of paper and he'll be finished the page. I stopped reading them pretty quickly.

    Also trapping yourself inside the area with spiders and getting instant-death was a good laugh.

    I don't think he should have died instantly. Game should have let him stay alive long enough to shit his pants and kick himself for his screwup.

    It strikes me as weird that only the flashlight is good at keeping the spiders back. They don't seem to mind the glowstick, flares, or even static lighting.

    Good show on this update, though. I died at least that many times, if not more so :lol:

    That was a wonderful set. I liked the "Ha! I'll just break this, and crouch here." *looks at boulder*

    *CRUNCH*

    You are using the Run button, right? If you haven't, well ... let's just say you might want to know where it is for later reference.

    Just a suggestion ...

    Bloody hell man, you make me wince with some of the things you do, but then you make me laugh. Dodging a boulder in a hole on its path, twice? But then you start prodding a dog with a broom and all is well. This was a magnificent set, kudos.

    I'm like, so slow when it comes to things like that. Of course usually I can just swear and be done with it :P

    And thanks for the tip Falcon. I shall remember it.
