[@letsreadtextbook1687]

I like the voice's writing... I see many people here including Manly sees it as too on the nose. But I think it's for the better: because it gives you a clear reason why you're not supposed to listen to it despite its soothing and superficially calming nature. If the writing is too subtle, I think it will defeat the theme the author wanna portray. Also for the people saying that the voice is way too berating compared to your normal inner voice: to be fair, if the protag really did all the things the voice says, then he really is objectively worse person than your average, non-criminal person.

[@littlekitsune1]

The problem is it's just obnoxious edge. Not really adding much when the game is over an hour but we've already had the message drilled into our heads not even 15 minutes in. Besides the protagonist being so awful kind of negates the idea that they shouldn't listen to their inner voice anyway, since there's no real redemption there. Which undermines any supposed value to making the voice so on-the-nose anyway.

[@kaitlynboss3497]

@@littlekitsune1 I mean, that's what living with a voice like that is like. It doesn't matter if he was a genuinely awful person or if that voice is blowing it out of proportion. It doesn't change what it is saying and how it is saying it. It very quickly wears down at your self-esteem because you're convinced, it convinced you, that it is right and it will always be right.

even guessing the "twist" early, its a strong narrative that doesnt rely on a gotcha like that. props to the voice actor, i really enjoyed his performance. given the unreliable narrator, i wonder if the hospital really is as neglectful and decrepit as he describes. for someone with addiction and criminal issues, i wonder if thats how the protagonist feels about hospitals in general, or this one he worked at in particular. like a hospital is just a place to languish and die, so he avoids them.

[@saoliath5000]

while there is the more literal narrative of the person going to kill that woman, i think the hospital is more meant to be an embodiment of the character themselves, possibly indicating his name is actually "felix bloom". when he was young, the hospital was pristine but after an "earthquake" it fell to ruin, which possibly could be that first sin. certain things like the elevator for instance i imagine are metaphorical for getting high since its mentioned the character is a junkie. the character the protagonist is here to kill may be his mother since its indicated she knows him despite this being a house he was robbing.

[@eternyti]

I'm 100% positive its his mother because at the "Repentance" ending when the protag apologizes to the woman, the First Sin responds with "You are forgiven. She still loves you dearly." Even the protag's apologies ("I'm sorry for betraying your trust and never talking to you about my problems") imply there's an emotional connection and history between them.

[@FluffyDragonDrawing]

@@eternyti I feel like she was more of a partner of sorts. His mother was already brought up before, so why didn't they make any kind of link between them? Even a short line like "There she is, waiting for you up in room 521." would have been all it needed to solidify it; Not to mention that the voice (While an unreliable narrator, does seem to be telling us about events that actually happened) stated that the protag ran away and never returned. He would have been returning if that was actually her. There as also a mention that the woman in the room was middle aged, and maybe I'm misunderstanding it, but the protag has to be an adult at this point, so his mother has to be older than that, so for her to be middle aged, yet still having an adult child; not impossible but seems unlikely? I absolutely thought it was the mother at first, but it feels like they kept dropping subtle hints that it's unlikely to be her through the narrative which makes me think otherwise. As such my current conclusion was some kind of life partner.

_MBH called it_ The voice met your character in a mirror once. If MBH hadn’t come to the conclusion that the character was talking to himself before, the mirror confirmed it to me. I'm not sure that a person, the woman, was really in that hospital because I think that was long abandoned & maybe the woman had already died. Hospitals don't usually keep operating for years after going to ruin. And while people are heavily influenced by their environment & society, they still have a conscience & the ability to tell right from wrong. So the final message for me is that hedonism without regard for yourself or others isn't happiness & if your inner voice or anyone else's voice is saying that, mute them.

TL;DR: A chilean dude explains what earthquake might have been since they say 10 years ago in game lore So basically, about the earthquake, if it was 10 years ago that means probably was the earthquake of the 27th of febuary in 2010, a pretty terrifying earthquake that destroyed a lot of the country of Chile, thats more trivia for ya Also, in santiago de chile (main capital) it reached an 8 on the mercalli scale, and more at the south was a 9.

[@rosieamoret7748]

As someone who used to be violently angry, and violent towards herself (bad upbringing), the voice was quite accurate with its tone. I used to be really hateful towards everything, and I justified it to myself. I would joke to my friends that "I have alcohol in my blood" to reason why I was loud and impulsive, only drunk people would do that. I told myself how much I hated other people, and why it was justified to do so, much like the "you were born bad, and the city never gave you the tools to fix that" part. It was horrible, just a constant spiral, and a 'kill or be killed' mentality all day. Fortunately, it's been 4-5 years now, and I'm way better, and my inner voice doesn't speak that way anymore, thank goodness ^^

[@smileofhope5643]

His voice at the beginning was soothing and normal but as I listened to it more it became so scary it was giving a forbidding sensation nice game

[@AdamMerlin]

I KNEW HIS VOICE SOUNDED FAMILIAR!. Dont open your eyes! Of course!

[@flowersandcheesecake1710]

Dang that was him! He’s got some range

[@_..._3453]

@@flowersandcheesecake1710 Well, he was whispering the whole time in Don't Open your Eyes. Great range but we couldn't hear much of it, unfortunately.

“Ahh i can’t see in the dark, I have no eyes!” manly’s depiction from the grim reaper and it makes sense

[@christopheracosta2060]

I just realized wouldn’t the sin ending end up with the player in jail? He cut his hand earlier which means he would have left blood on her neck

[@FluffyDragonDrawing]

Possibly..... If they cared enough to check. there is very clearly some effed up things in that world, so it's not unlikely they, as the voice stated, just write it off as "She died a little sooner than expected."

I love that voice sm holy shit. If my inner voice would sound like that I'd let it disrespect me 24/7

[@RazaTheMaza]

Loved the Voice Actors line delivery in this the perfect tone throughout. Informative, matter of fact, dismissive caustic and oddly likable at times but altogether cruel. Perfection!

[@maruru738]

why is the voice kinda... handsome?

[@Lucazzzzz44]

I can't trust anyone who sounds like Adachi from Persona 4.

[@queenofhearts07]

The art & the border of the frame reminds me of an etch-a-sketch 😂 it's pretty cool

[@BBaaaaa]

True!

[@Jimmy-jk3cq]

Oh yeah, I can see that. Personally I thought it was an old tv or something

[@Gamer-kazinky]

yeah the entire time i watched it i just could not get iver how much it looked like an etch-a-sketch

Alternate title : A voice bullies you and guilt trips you through a hospital with a very thick bird.

[@ThucNguyen-si2rf]

honestly i thought i wouldn't really have an opinion on this but this was very well done!!! Something about it just makes me smile in a morbid way. Also did not expect the squishy noises. I was a little squeamish but eh, it is what it is. I really got pulled in with the voice acting and the interesting aesthetic of the hospital. Overall i found this game to be very entertaining and I hope Manly does play the game maker's other game coming out because this writing really hit a satisfying spot for me. I'm surprised its so well done!! Kudos to whoever voiced the radio guy! If the radio guy ever comes across this comment, you did a great fucking job man holy shit. I hope you get more gigs! Your voice played a super important part into me digging it. Really loved the direction this game took overall. :)

[@joca_sol]

Omg why do i feel so touched by this game? I loved it

[@WhitneyDahlin]

I know this is an old comment but I just watched this playthrough. When the game said "May you forgive yourself" at the end it just really touched me. I haven't done nearly the things the protagonist in this game has but I still have regrets and I still have vices now. I think most of us are all way too hard on ourselves and are haunted by the things we have done wrong in the past

[@joca_sol]

@@WhitneyDahlin yes, I totally agree, and that game, even a long time ago makes me feel a knot on my throat

[@cateletama]

I like the theme and the uniqueness to the game. The "style" is so cool :D

First Sin: "It's not your fault." Well, yes, but no.

Man, thats some really good voice acting. Good game too!

[@kaitlynboss3497]

"When are you going to direct me to a trashcan and tell me it's empty like my soul" hahahaha! Omfg that's too funny! I swear if that happens in the game i'm going to scream! It's exactly what that voice would do! Hahaha.

[@morgan2932]

this voice is literally just a mix of rantaro from danganronpa v3 and adachi from persona 4 with both personalities combined in one

[@LinNeTule]

I enjoyed the Peak Ending and the sincere message of self forgiveness and help that translates in the end.

funny thing, the hospital Felix Bulnes is still functioning, it had to be moved after the earthquake because of the damage.

Also, the VA is the same too.

I've used this gameplay as ASMR and I regret nothing. Manly's voice: soothing. The radio voice: soothing (he's annoying but let's not think about what he says (??)).

y'all saying the voice is annoying :((( i like it

Who says that? Man every comment ive seen says they like it and reminds them of somethin' else

The voice acting is actually really good.

[@audreyyale2363]

Is it just me, or does the radio sound EXACTLY like Rantaro Amami?
