Chapter 3: No Way Out | Slay the Princess animatic

[@somerandomgal3915]

even funnier when you consider that this is basically just the same voice actor talking to himself there

[@kathryncunningham501]

I LOVE HIM

[@espejoroto1270]

He SHOULD be seen as a silly little nephilim in a silly little nephelim hat. but, then, that's just a hat, isn't it? Artistic license aside, you have a job to do. Slay the princess.

[@souffrantdepine3762]

Paranoid is my favorite in all routes. Something about his distress combined with an oddly supportive edge and his legitimately impressive will to live is extremely engaging to me.

[@pantheracheaxb747]

I was stunned while I was in full doubt on Paranoid's whining in the entrance of a den...

[@peridotkirishima9565]

I love how you can just SEE The Narrator internally screaming 😂

[@w1ndgeneral226]

You can even hear him even without him making a single sound.

[@Kyran_Mai]

Okay this part was just an absolute vibe. Paranoid and Contrarian are my personal faves so watching their shenanigans was hilarious. Also Paranoid claiming a little corner for himself so he can have personal space is just cute. I'm adopting The Voice of the Paranoid. Tiny boy.

[@medianinja85]

Ditto! How the eyes all sort of moved on their own was neat

[@Toon_Topaz]

Hehe I’m glad. He has 3 eyes by default (one for him, one for the Long Quiet and one for Hero) but he gains a new one with every voice that shows up.

Good fucking game, that’s for sure. And it’s so full of different routes and choices that you can replay it over and over and STILL find new things to do.

[@midnights2631]

I love everyone's design, fits them so well. The Narrator having multiple eyes is such a good idea. The Long Quiet and the Contrarian high fiving each is great. The Paranoid picking a spot on Long Quiet is exactly how I imagined it.

[@paulinechaudun5018]

This is so cooool ! The Narrator being tired of everyone's bullshit, Cheated and Paranoid each losing it in their own way, Contrarian being their usual gremlin self and driving everyone else mad, Hero doing their best in the chaos of the little voices, and Long Quiet just being a cute "No thoughts head only little voices" (so proud of themselves for throwing the knife

That's Cheated not Opportunist.

[@paulinechaudun5018]

@@TheYeetedMeat Oh yeah, you're right ! My mistake, gonna edit ^^

[@Arseniy_Arsenicum]

Oh... Thank you for reminding me about this... If I recall correctly, on the way to Stranger ending Hero and Contrarian have a little chat about throwing the blade out the window... And Contra says something along the lines of "We've already done it once... It wouldn't be as fun, if I repeat myself", because he suggested it in the Stranger route... Now I have to wonder, is there a special dialogue, in case you visit the Stranger first and then get No Way Out Razor variant... I need to check this...

[@rukifellth2]

Yes there is. :P You get to throw the blade out the window and it hits on of the millions of bodies outside who just looks back at you like: dude wtfrick?

Everything about this animatic is top notch, ESPECIALLY THE CREATIVE DESIGNGS OML-

[@AyuOhseki]

So I just want to say that all of your designs are incredible and everyone's expressions are top-notch and the Contrarian is an absolute delight and the high-five is hilarious, BUT the Narrator is the #1 tops with his six eyes and tiny spectacles for only one set of eyes. I in particular love the moment where the six eyes curl around the Long Quiet and stare at him judgingly. I love everything you did with the Narrator fr fr. He's definitely my favorite part of this animation, and there is a lot here to favor.

[@coolguy-rx6qy]

[@Lunar_8002]

I love your Narrator design so much, it's so creative

[@graceful-not1423]

I think these might be my favorite collection of designs for the voices????? They're all just *SO* fitting. Like; they actually look like how the voices SOUND, which is a first for me and people's designs of them (I don't even have designs of my own because everytime I try something is always Off,) but you... you've cracked it. That's them,, it's literally Them. The designs are just so... cohesive? But also so unique? They work together well but you can also immediately differentiate them from eachother and it's really easy to see who's who. My favorites are probably Paranoid and Cheated, but I LOVEEE Contrarian's little poses here,,,, such a Guy,,,, and UGHHH Hero looks so good in a weird feather-ponytail-thing. It Makes Sense,,, I love how *tactile* you animate them, all throwing arms around eachother and moving around and being in close contact. It makes me so, like. Fond, haha. You make them SO endearing, they're so adorable with eachother???? (I LOVE your interpretation of the "See this corner?" line from paranoid... 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺)

So every decision creates a universe whereas the princess potentially destroys everything. I suppose that justifies how she always kills us with different abilities
