Finished the game + Bonus chapter.
In the last bit capitalism has led to mystical elemental creatures you must defeat in various ways to get at their precious precious power cores. Petals. They were petals. I really liked the design of the ice wolf and I totally did not snap a screenshot of that, sorry. But a wolf made of crystal ice is pretty.
I DID get a screen capture of the last one but first let’s talk about how this game was mostly an adventure game and not a horror game like the others I’ve played in the series at all (and the one that followed it, Bloody Mary, which as I’ve said I played out of order by accident).
So you know. Adventure! Magic! Love!
AND THEN THERE WAS THIS THING.
I had to wind it up to make… to make that jaw open and the teeth were QUITE THE SURPRISE and the eyes sure as hell weren’t looking at me before. The thing in its mouth is a motorcycle amulet which opened a locker that had been closed since the start of the game. I assume the doll ate the previous owner holy crap.
Okay so the final elemental beast was fire! Specifically a phoenix! And the phoenix had a DELICIOUS surprise inside! The horrifically calcified body of the villain!
Oh also with great delight I got to say the words ‘I have upgraded my goblin’.
So the bonus chapter wasn’t as easy to infer the use of tools as the main game and it turned out a lot of my frustration joke guesses were… what I was supposed to use! Huh. The hammer was VERY useful. And in a surprise twist, ice turned out to be the answer, not fire.
So the plot for the bonus chapter is as Brandon Gray (my nephew, son of John Gray off in a dungeon somewhere and Luisa my sister probably horrifically cursed somehow right now) embraced his true love, her EVIL BROTHER came and kidnapped her and Brandon was all ‘we have to save her! I guess you can help!’ and then I never see him again.
Not even at the end of the game after I’ve saved everyone.
RIP Brandon Gray, your bloodline was fucking cursed.
