I Expect You To Die 3: A VR Trilogy Designed To Kill You

[@RTGame]

Cannot state just how much I love this series of VR games. If you have a VR headset I recommend picking them up before watching this video - genuinely some of the best VR games available. Hope everyone enjoys dying :)

[@KirbyCoder]

I would, but VR gives me a headache. Also I don’t have a VR headset.

Although in the lore, Phoenix is a powerful superspy, I like to imagine that whenever RT plays he's just some random drunkard that manages to get himself into the worst situations possible while on his vacation

But he was the Drift King back in college. How could a man with that title ever fail?

Dan when she said that “I’ve made you before” in the cutscene it’s because she made your brain telekinesis thing.

[@i8chocolatecake995]

OH! That explains it bc I was wondering if we were actually a robot this whole time or smth bc of those lines

[@FNIX_TANK]

@@i8chocolatecake995 if u watch wolf in VR’s play through he goes a bit more in depth and does the lore stuff. That’s how I learned this.

[@GwynnDdu]

@@i8chocolatecake995 that's what I thought too

[@FNIX_TANK]

Further context: based off the missions you can tell that she did a lot of kinesium research. At the time she also worked with the agency so she developed a way of putting kinesium into agents brains to give them telekinesis. But then she became obsessed with the idea of robot agents yet since this had flaws and because agent Phoenix (the player) became famous around this time the agency denied this idea. Because of this she left the company and began working with Zoraxis and that is where the game begins.

[@NameName-yw4vr]

So that's why in the Final Mission Agent Phoenix had to stop the big kinesium from spreading some waves which would destabilize the kinesium inside the brain. A complete eradication of the Agency if that were to happen.

[@slendergavan3588]

My headcanon for agent phoenix is that they’re immortal, but they’re incredibly incompetent at their job. Basically an average joe who somehow managed to be born to be unable to permanently die by rewinding time back to they were safe. Also before they were a agent, I liked to think they were a person who killed themselves whenever they got the lottery wrong so they always know the answer to the lottery (you would think I would call them a gambler but that’s the most cliche thing(also you would be more suspicious gambling instead of doing the lottery(and casinos I think are expensive as hell))). Handler: So what are your credentials for this job you’re most likely to die from Random guy: What’s die mean? Handler: Your hired.

She sounds fantastic in that song too, but in a completely different way. It doesn't even sound like the same singer. I absolutely LOVE the growl in her voice in this intro song. I need more of it!!!
