AWKWARD ZOMBIE

It took me 15 fucking times to get through that daisies level the first time I played.
It still took me about eight for this LP.

Small bit of advice. Be like Zink and only post one update per page. Post filler posts until you reach a new page. Otherwise when you have three or four on one page, it means they all have to load in order to see if there's anything new. For the people with less than stellar computers, it gets annoying.

Thanks, I'll be sure to keep this in mind.

ON THAT NOTE
EVERYONE STRAP IN
SAY GOODBYE TO YOUR SANITY
IT'S TIME FOR:
'THIS IS THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT I WANTED: PART I'



I decide to check out the corner of the building that I was seeing from when my perspective shifted.
I can't see anything from here though.
Maybe I was just hallucinating.
Or something.
Before I do anything else, I go and look at that big fancy building in the town square.




There is a man outside of it, sitting on a bench.
He is crying.
I attempt to console him in some manner.



Uh
Okay
Don't let me help you
That's fine too
After standing around for a few minutes, I decide to head down one of the side streets that goes off from the main square.



My walk is pretty uneventful until I hear some noise from one of the alleys.
I go down it.




I come to what is the front of a bar of some sort.
There is a very drunk man there.
He is singing in such a drunk manner that the game is unable to provide subtitles.
After swaying around for a bit, he pisses all over the wall.



Seriously.
There was no way I couldn't include a screenshot of this.
Finally, the guy notices me.





I AM ZADOK
RULER OF JUPITER
Anyway, I ask about Brian Burnham.







Oh hey



Look what I just happen to have.
He grabs the bottle and takes a huge swig.









Swarms?
Swarms of what?
Oh god, I hope it's not bees.



Are you telling me that bees broke men out of jail.
Because those are some hardcore bees.





He's pretty much rambling at this point.
I don't even think he heard my last question.




He stumbles back and slumps down on the ground.



Well, now I have to go find this Waite fellow.
In addition, Zadok, Ruler of Jupiter, gives me a key to the town poorhouse.
I...guess this might come in handy...?
Anyway, I turn to leave, and head back down the alley.
SUDDENLY








I guess I can trust her.
I mean, she's one of three people I've met whose voices don't sound like a water-logged version of G-Man.
I end up following her to another part of the alley.





She walks over and tears down that yellow poster.




She runs off to somewhere.
I am alone again.



Well, a new symbol.
It's a save point that doubles as a sort of 'safe-spot' from enemies.
I start heading back to the town square.
SUDDENLY AGAIN



I abruptly switch views again.
The heavy breathing is still present, and I'm pretty sure that's the street I was just on.
Just as abruptly, I switch back.
This view-switch thing isn't creepy because you're switching views, it's creepy because of how unexpected it is and how abruptly it occurs. There is absolutely no warning it's going to happen.
I finally make it back to the square, and I take a closer look at the big, fancy building.
I notice something by the door.



Isn't this what the Ruler of Jupiter was talking about?
I try going inside, but the door is locked.
I go across the plaza to where the poorhouse is located.



Hm looks legit
I enter, go through a tunnel, and end up in a semi-open space.




As if I hadn't already drawn enough attention to myself.
Well, the rest of this investigation is just going to be barrels of fun.



I find this man/woman/thing huddled in a corner, wheezing and breathing like some sort of creature.
Honestly though, I wouldn't be surprised if it was one by this point.



I find yet another door proclaiming the entrance to the poorhouse.
I enter and head up some stairs.



Once again:
This whole operation looks pretty legit and up to standards
Nope nothing wrong here



OH SHIT PERSPECTIVE SHIFT
AND THAT IS RIGHT OUTSIDE OF WHERE I AM



Suddenly old man
Don't we have an optimistic view on life






I don't know why I'm looking for it in here though.






With that depressing conversation over with, I head onwards until I find a door.
I open it and end up in an area with beds.




Okay maybe I was wrong about this place meeting standards.
For god's sake there are maggots in the bed.



The old woman has a medkit by her bed.
I steal it.
Take that how you will.



Oh look another corridor.
I wonder what's in-




What
My heartbeat goes up, but Jack is more angry than he is scared about this.
Everything about this entire investigation is just going so wrong.
I came here to find a missing guy, not uncover some sort of goddamn secret society and find health code violations.



I eventually come to a door that leads out onto a fire escape.
I start climbing down, and-



Woah god
Jack has this sudden and completely unexpected vertigo attack or something as I descend the ladder.
Nevertheless, I make it to the bottom without incident.



Looks like I made it to Dock Street.



This horrifying woman/thing is loitering around the area.
She just stands there and watches me walk around.
It's kind of unsettling.
Anyway, I find Waite's relatively nice house and knock on the door.




Oh shit
It's the Little Sisters house
I knew they had to be here somewhere





uh
okay then




As it turns out, this child carries no ADAM, mostly because this is not Bioshock, but also because she is the daughter of Waites.




Wait what the hell



Jack is similarly confused.



I don't even




Yeesssssss
I want to draw with your crayyyyyyooooons



Lol just kidding
I'm totally going to search her house and take whatever the hell I want



One of the first things I notice is this blood-stained rug.
How nice. And sanitary.
I decide to go upstairs for a moment.




P-P-P-P-P-PERSPECTIVE SWITCH
I'm going to assume that what I'm seeing is the inside of the attic upstairs where 'Mummy' is being kept.
...there's no way this could end badly.
I notice a picture on a little dresser thing upstairs.




HM I WONDER
I go back downstairs to make sure I haven't missed anything.





Those
Those are not pictures of humans.
There is either something wrong with this girl or with this family.
Probably both.



I don't even know why I took a screenshot of this
Probably because Jack saying "A house plant" completely deadpan was hilarious.



I go back upstairs to a door bolted form the OUTSIDE.
I assume this is where 'Mummy' is being kept.
I MUST INVESTIGATE
FOR JUSTICE
I unbolt the door, obviously.




Something tells me I should not touch this door.
So naturally, I'm going to touch it.







I can't really see-



Oh shit
The lock jiggles, and something massive and fish-like busts through the door Kool-Aid man style, moving extremely fast.
It knocks me the hell out of the way and runs down the corridor.




Everything starts fading away, and I can hear screams, crashes, and squishy noises from downstairs.
Oops.



ASYLUM FLASHBACK
There is bizarre music and a lot of laughter.




I slowly come to.
I can hear what sounds like a man crying.



I heal myself, because that thing probably broke a few bones.
I then decide to go downstairs and check out the damage.



Uh oh
There is definitely a man crying downstairs















He doesn't answer, and simply hands me the key.
There is a sudden pounding on the door.
A large man rams open the door and enters.



Oh great.
It's Officer Paralyzed-Tongue.








...
Everything is terrible.


NEXT TIME: 'PART 2: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO'

Well I can honestly say that is the first dead child I've ever seen in a game.

Something seems very fishy.

Nice.

Great timing with Halloween around the corner. Is this game open ended at all?

Is it possible for you to have not killed the little girl or was that railroading

No, not really.
Bethesda published it, but it's made by an indie developer called Headfirst Productions.


Railroading.
Since the game isn't really open-ended, it's one of those things that has to happen for you to progress.

Up next is that part I keep getting stuck at. Here's to finally seeing the game played out past that part.

This is a pretty good read so far, I'm enjoying this LP

Oh hey, we're back
Bumping to next page for another relatively short update

So you released a mindless killing machine that slaughtered an innocent girl and everyone in town blames her guiltless father.

Are you playing a villain?

Let me help with the filler then

We there yet?
