some things i noticed about anya: - 14:32 every instance where jimmy feeds curly the medication, anya gets so uncomfortable that she has to leave the room. given the noises curly makes while taking the painkillers and also jimmy forcing him to take the medication, it reminds anya so much of what jimmy did to her that she has to leave the room and comfort herself - 12:17 in every conversation between jimmy and anya after the assault, she stumbles her words, compliments him, lets him insult her, and apologizes when she doesn't have to. this is because she has no protection against jimmy, so her only way of defending herself from him is to try to avoid conflict between him as much as possible - 44:25 I believe before jimmy came in, anya was confessing to swansea about what jimmy did to her. the way swansea says "oh, it's you" and anya attempting to hide her tears away from jimmy shows that she was being open to swansea, and doesn't want jimmy to see her vulnerability as an advantage - 1:00:27 in the flashback of curly and anya discussing how long it will take for help to arrive, when curly says about 237 days, she points out that it will take eight months. this is the average time it takes to have a baby

1:00:07 This scene, among others, is so interesting to me. The symbolism/Foreshadowing is so good. Anya can see the “dead pixel” among all the other illuminated stars, but curly can’t seem to find it and instead chooses to look at the “bigger picture”, ignoring the dead star. In other words, Anya could always see Jimmy (the dead pixel) for what he really was, a germ, While curly never fully saw/accepted what jimmy was until it was too late. A similar metaphor exists in the “Mouthwash kills 99.9% of germs” slogan that appears so many times throught the game. Curly was supposed to keep his crew, all of them, safe from “germs” like jimmy, but failed to do so at the cost of his entire crew. So many small details like this exist in the game it’s insane (edit: notice how Anya says that she liked the display, before she noticed the dead pixel. “once you see the dead pixel, you can’t unsee it.”, but Curly claims that the one dead pixel (jimmy) doesn’t ruin the entire display since he can ignore it.)

[@aiimen3339]

Some details to point out: - jimmy continuously pushes ppl to doing things they dont want (hinting at the sa) e.g. forcing the pills to curly, forcing daisuke up the vent - jimmy already knows the recipe for a spiked drink (again hinting at the sa) - in all the guilt sequences, anya is completely missing e.g. the ID cards. This is bc he never acknowledges her OR the sa as being bad, only the pregnancy itself which serves as legal evidence against jimmy, so is all he notices and all that is seen in the guilt sequences. E.g. every time he only apologises for crashing, NEVER the sa itself. - Anya is slightly different through jimmy (the abusers pov) and curly (neutral) pov where shes more outgoing, suggesting she was being misrepresented by jimmys pov which is why she seems more one dimensional in the majority of the game. - Anya asks why there arent locks on sleeping quarters (another hint) and curly misinterprets the questions as why IS there locks on med room symbolising his denial of the assault. After the crash, anya chooses to sleep near the motion sensor polle so it goes off if anyone (jimmy) comes close. - the dead pixel could also represent jimmy and the assault as he is what curly cant see, opting to see the bigger picture instead. - the mouthwashing of the game reverses any good it does due to high sugar content paralleling jimmy constantly trying to "fix" and clean the situation, only to make it worse. - hibiscus flower symbolism: youth and dying young which correlates to daisuke - Curlys tragic irony: his inaction towards jimmy leads to a fate where he is bound to constantly observe without action. - curly only has one eye = only saw the positive side to jimmy, swansea only has the other eye (by the end) = only saw jimmys bad nature, both daisukes eyes were covered = never saw any of jimmys true nature, and Anya had both eyes open = saw jimmy the most truly and accurately (ironic as she is watered down and barely even acknowledged from jimmy). - Polle, when he speaks at the end, could represent Anya - being the only time she gets to symbolically 'confront' jimmy the mkst truthfully and accurately, being the person who sees him fully for what he is. This is hinted at by the fact that Polle and Anya have the exact same caption colour as well as the "i find myself sexually excited at the thought of cartoon horses".

Listening to cory at the end really makes me realize how much of a great guy he is. He's straight up confused on why no one stood up for Anya when they knew what happened to her because he cant fathom any inaction in this situation- when that's what mouthwashing is all about. The inaction of holding each other accountable, forcing each other to take responsibility. The irony of "taking responsibility" throughout the game is that no one *will* take responsibility.

I want to add that there are several points in the game where Jimmy pushed boundaries and abused his crewmates. - He verbally abuses Anya and makes her live in fear of him (like how a real abuser would) - He knocks out Swansea with a spiked drink (and that also implies he's done it before given that he knows the recipe.) - He pressures Daisuke to a job that he knows is unsafe especially given the state of the ship - When he gives curly his painkillers, the audio implies more of a struggle going on between him as the game goes on. He forces the painkillers into curly (or perhaps curly couldn't ingest them normally?) Jimmy is a serial abuser. On Earth and on the ship To also show the type of person Jimmy was at the beginning, there is a whole process to crashing the entire ship. 1. going to the cock pit 2. sitting down 3. steering the ship 4. getting a key 5. turning the key 6. turning off autopilot At any point he could have stopped, but he was only thinking about himself. He was absolutely okay with ruining the lives of other people. That's how rapists and abusers are and Jimmy turned out to be both. He felt emasculated, out of control, or threatened by those in power. He always goes on about how jealous he is of curly despite being his best friend. I think what this game really tries to get at is the consequences of being a bystander/enabler. None of this would have happened if Curly had done something about Jimmy the instant he learned about what he did to Anya. As a consequence for his actions, the ship is crashed and now he is made to watch everything unfold in his morbidly crippled state. He's made to feel powerless like Anya because he didn't take action. Remember that conversation curly had with Anya about the big screen having a dead pixel? That dead pixel is supposed to be Jimmy, but curly says he wouldn't notice it because he's more of a big picture guy. Anya through out the story tried to tell Curly directly and indirectly about what happened to her so many times and he did nothing. Another thing, when Jimmy feels the consequences of his actions catching up to him he's only thinking about Curly's approval. He's always been apologizing to curly only. He does not even utter or think about the affect he had on Anya. It's always back to "fixing this" with Curly. Polle(the mascot) comments on that in his conversation with jimmy by asking "If all of this is true... then why are you still so concerned with him?" I really like how Polle cut him off when he was about to say Anya's line "Our worst moments don't make us monsters" because Anya was saying that because of Jimmy. Like he was so disconnected that he really thought he was trying to do right by not even acknowledging what he did to Anya as the part of the problem. Edit: It has been pointed out to me that there is a little error with the comment I made about the spiked drink in relation to Anya. The crew didn't have access to the mouthwash at the time so it wouldn't make sense for Anya to be taken advantage of that way. Anya asked Curly that there were locks in medical but not in the sleeping quarters and Curly answered "Safety". To add to that Anya even knew that the estimate of just under eight months so around that time, it's definitely sinking for her as to what happened. So of course Jimmy would have found his way in to her room directly. There are locks in the cockpit and medical but not the sleeping quarters. The ship has all men and one woman. That design choice for the ship is very risky especially because the ship is in space for over a year. No wonder that to Anya locking herself in medical was the best decision she'll ever make. Edit 2: It is plausible that Jimmy forced the painkillers into Curly's throat because he couldn't swallow them himself. Though I do want to point out Jimmy's other feelings toward Curly despite his admiration and respect for him. He is envious of him. Curly had a conversation with Jimmy during his psych evals and Jimmy did mention that it was annoying hearing about how great of a leader Curly was. As the game progresses Jimmy At 41:29 he lets it all loose basically saying that he feels like curly is leaving all of them behind. In a way also gaslighting him into thinking it's his fault for pony express letting them all go. Later in the game while Jimmy is captain 57:33 he does acknowledge that Curly's is stressful. He's been taking in what it actually means to be in control and take responsibility every time he gives curly his meds. Perhaps Jimmy didn't necessarily abuse curly, but he definitely felt threatened by his superiority as captain. I'm a little lost on why Jimmy cut off Curly's leg at 1:31:59, but I would say it is related to his envy because of his line "life isn't even worth living at the same level as us"

I don't hate Curly either but the amount of fans that go, "what could he have done?"/"Jimmy abused him too"/"He was too kind"/etc, is crazy and missing the whole point of him still not doing anything at the end of the day. Any one can give him an explanation but they end up using it as an excuse despite Curly also not doing anything to help or comfort Anya and even downplaying it. He's not a good guy with great morales, but he aso didn't deserve his fate either post crash. He's a definite grey character and sad how many people also turn a blind eye to Curly, leading to a blind eye to what happened to Anya.

Jimmy suffers from some hardcore savior/hero complex. I legit thought before I watched the play-through, it was about 5 survivors in an apocalypse in a bunker. This where barely anything was packed for supplies and all they had was a bottle of mouthwash. And then jimmy hurt curly as to help the rest of the survivors with the limited mouthwash to drink. But this surprised me.

1:00:44 Anya: Why do you think Pony Express put a lock on the medical room door but not in the sleeping quarters? This just gave me chills, knowing that this is hinting at what happened to Anya.

[@mayriil9219]

It’s implied by Jimmy’s conversation with Curly during the psyche evaluation that Jimmy has had a “struggle of a life” back on Earth. He expresses that he enjoys being co-pilot of the Tulpar because “we’re in control here.” When Curly delivers the news that the company is going out of business, Jimmy takes it personally and feels severely hard done by, not just by pony express but also by Curly himself. The sudden loss of control, coupled with the revelation that Anya is pregnant and the realisation his abuse will be revealed when the delivery is complete tips Jimmy over the edge. In a moment of selfish desperation, Jimmy intentionally causes the crash because he would rather die than face the consequences of or take responsibility for his own actions. He likely also wanted to ruin Curly’s potential legacy of being known as a good captain and hurt the rest of the crew out of pure spite and hatred. The line at the start “I hope this hurts” is most likely a thought from Jimmy’s mind.

[@destineybailey6890]

You are a nice soul for not understanding, therefore I will try to break it down. Swansea didn't know till after the crash. That was the point of the conversation Jimmy overheard: Swansea was probably venting, and Anya informed Swansea of Jimmy's actions. That is why Swansea kept the cryo pod hidden: it was for Anya and the baby. I don't think Daisuke ever knew - Daisuke represents innocence crushed under the weight of greedy desire. He has misplaced trust. Now for the "why" of it all. Curly and Jimmy are good buddies with a long history. Curly wants Jimmy to succeed. And Jimmy KNEW what he did and would almost certainly get away with it if no evidence was presented, so he didn't care about Anya or the consequences, because there would be none. Sure, he'd have to look for a new job, but he could definitely rely on Curly. But with a newborn, DNA testing are the end of the line. He suddenly lost interest in Anya and his role as a father. That child was a MONSTER to him and would wreck the rest of his life, which he couldn't endure. So, Curley speaks to Jimmy. tries to calm him down, and Anya is, realistically, Curley's secondary concern. He is still concerned about her and the child, but his primary devotion is to Jimmy. And after talking to Jimmy and Jimmy says he'll take care of it, Curley believes Jimmy is talking about manning up, because that's what Curley would do, and Curley sees something good in Jimmy that isn't there (the dead pixel). Curley remains optimistic that everyone will emerge relatively unscathed: Swansea and Daisuke receive recommendations, Jimmy accepts responsibility, and everyone lands upright and on their feet, scars notwithstanding. He never imagined Jimmy would do it. That is why he did not stop Jimmy until it was too late.

To answer your question, Swansea and Daisuke didn’t know about the assault. Anya told Curly and he did nothing. Then, when she told him she was pregnant, he still chose not to do anything. It was only after Anya told Jimmy about her pregnancy that he was forced to do something but instead of reprimanding Jimmy, he tried talking to him. During their conversation, Jimmy hints at ending everything but Curly still does nothing. Jimmy then put the ship on a crash course to avoid jail time and Curly, in an attempt to FINALLY do something, was heavily injured in the cockpit, leading everyone to believe that Curly crashed them. Anya then told Swansea what happened to her when her and him were found together but by that point, Jimmy was already captain. This is also when Swansea started drinking more.

[@raspberrylemonade8661]

Finally a correct explanation. People in the comments keep saying “the whole crew knew”, obviously they didn’t. Only Curly knew at first, then we find out later that Anya had a conversation with Swansea about it only after Jimmy became the captain. That’s why Jimmy shot him, because he found out what he did to her. Daisuke never found out about it because he was never told.

Anya is such an amazing character and it shows the two perspectives of sa. Jimmy thinks that Anya is a shy and useless character for basically no reason, and Anya is like this because imagine being with your abuser for the whole time without no privacy and that’s why Anya talks to curly about the sleeping quarters locks. It just shows jimmys delusions of him being a “good person”, he has his delusions in his mind that Anya is like this for her being a “sensitive person” and ignoring the fact on what disgusting thing he did to Anya.

But definitely the biggest hint is when Anya talks about the locks in the sleeping quarters with curly.

[@nannamaldo]

i am so glad the frustration of lack of reaction from curly and the crew, abt jimmy’s behavior to anya. Unfortunately, it is an extremely common reaction survivors go through especially in work environments. Curly is a good representation of the average, morally gray, man- having a need to hold accountability in the passive ways possible to the point where you do nothing at all. And even more complexity is added when you realize Jimmy and Curly are close friends. it’s frustrating from an outsider’s perspective, and it’s troubling from a survivor’s perspective, bc ive been in anya’s shoes so i hold a strong grudge between the two men. Then again, i also could never blame curly for the assault itself because he isn’t jimmy. i cant even say that im glad its only fiction bc similar situations happen all the time.

[@MarukaiX]

Curly was too busy trying to play the mediator and keeping things in check to really support Anya in the way she needed by continuing to enable Jimmy Daisuke didn't know what Jimmy really did to take action Swansea could've took action but I'm pretty sure he was already too detached on mouthwash and focused on getting the pod intact and away from Jimmy to help (maybe before the crash Swansea would've done something I hope) And then there's Jimmy :/

[@ebugsme1219]

Yes!! And the whole “99% kills” bit, which flashes on screen a few times? It’s literally talking about how trying to ‘fix’ something, when you’re not wiling to go the full way in order to fix it IS what do up killing in some scenarios. Curly talked about trying to fix things constantly throughout he game, especially when it came to Anya. But his loyalty too his friend and unwillingness to deal with Jimmy accordingly is what ended up hurting the ship the most.

[@nannamaldo]

[@destineybailey6890]

Why is everyone acting like curly know the whole time when a day before the crash he found out

[@wackywacks6960]

1:55:17 Swansea did not know what Jimmy did at this point, only after he talked to Anya in the cockpit towards the beginning. Anya and Curly were the only ones who knew what Jimmy did but Curly physically couldn't speak and Anya was afraid of Jimmy and didn't want to stand up to him because he might hurt her, which is also why she points out how "capable" Jimmy is and generally sucks up to him, she's terrified of making him angry. Also, Curly was the only one who knew Jimmy crashed the ship, Jimmy lied to everyone about Curly doing it. The reason Jimmy so easily became captain is because everyone on board didn't know better or couldn't do anything to stop it. That aside, what a great video! I was so happy seeing this pop up on my home page this morning, your reactions were absolutely priceless.

[@Mor9462]

Also I hate the fact Jimmy made daisuke a kid do his dirty work and cover up for him in everyone business only using him to get him killed

[@croissant07]

Oh man, I'm glad you brought up the way Anya constantly flattered Jimmy. Before the SA reveal, I initially thought she was just doing that to pass off the task of caring for Curly onto him but that clears things up. I can't imagine how awful it must've been to be in her position, having her abuser be in a position of power over her with so few people to go to for support, while dealing with the stress of having a life in her hands and hoping for a rescue.

This game is the perfect example of “Evil only prospers when good men do nothing.” I feel like during that conversations between curly and jimmy, I don’t think curly took him seriously, or at least didn’t WANT to believe that jimmy would kill himself and the whole crew to cover up his evil. But he was more than capable and had shown Curly that he was willing to take it there.

[@Mizuru007]

From what I can tell: - Curly is the absolute definition of "inaction is still action" mixed with "well he's my *bro* and I've known him for years, soooo..." Did he brush off what Anya said as a LIE? No. But did he take steps to actually deal with the situation in a good way (restricting Jimmy's access to literally ANYTHING, helping Anya take steps to do whatever she needed/wanted to do, etc.?) Also no. Not a good guy. - We hate Jimmy. Next. - Swansea didn't actually know what happened to Anya, I think, until the scene where Jimmy runs into Anya and Swansea talking about something. Because after that is when Swansea starts really shifting in how he speaks to Jimmy. He's an old man that's seen some of the worst of what humanity has to offer and has, as he said himself, let each instance just harden him. Make him meaner and rougher. Because that's just how some people cope with the world being the way it is. Not a bad guy, felt more like someone that wanted to emotionally support Anya because he felt he couldn't DO anything physically. - Daisuke didn't know anything. He wasn't even supposed to BE on the ship; he was a last minute addition. Feel awful for him. Just a baby that was doing his best.

Let me clear some things up, after finding out Anya was pregnant Jimmy not wanting to take “responsibility” for the baby and sa decided to crash the ship. Curly stepped in to save the ship resulting in his skin burning off which is why we see him the way we do. Why Curly didn’t do anything about it? He’s basically an enabler. He knew about what Jimmy did but because they’ve been friends for so long he decided to see the “good” in him instead of holding him for his actions. Jimmy took charge of the ship after Curly’s injury and flipped the story to make himself seem like the hero and Curly the villain.

Notice how he said before he kill Daisuke that he was a “Useless ray of sunshine” or “You coulda taught an old fool like me a lot” was already a hint how he wanted Daisuke to use the pod in a hope to get out of the space.

[@sarangienari]

Here’s my two cents. Curly’s character is so extremely nuanced and complex it’s hard to just claim him as evil or good. First off there wasn’t really much he COULD do. He was stressed, worried for both Anya and Jimmy since both of them in the end were his responsibility. Giving Anya the gun to shoot Jimmy would cause their pays to be docked, and Anya herself said she didn’t have any savings. Using the cryo pod wouldn’t be allowed by Swansea or in general since it is only for extreme necessities where they need to escape/ preserve their bodies. There was only a day window between the crash and Anya telling Curly about the SA. Plus, curly seems to be the type of person who can’t pick up on cues that easily, and needs to be told outright about whatever is happening. All that combined by the fact that when we see Curly try to confront Jimmy, the jerkwad was talking over him and saying these manipulative things talking about how Curly is going to be the one responsible for whatever went down. And the shock of finding out your best friend (even if in this case curly was tricked into thinking Jimmy was his best friend) is a rapist would send any normal person into a shock. We’ve seen Curly help Anya before during the psych evals. He helped her when she mentioned feeling uncomfortable with Jimmy’s responses and how he didn’t take her seriously, he even says “He wouldn’t try any bullshit with me”. Him not seeing the dead pixel is him unable to see the bad in Jimmy either because he was actively being abused and manipulated by Jimmy or because he’s too kind to a fault. In the end I’m not painting Curly out to be a hero or a saint, but rather a human who makes mistakes and had received karma beyond what was necessary, now suffering inexplicable horrors and consequences because he wasn’t able to see the signs of abuse and ‘take responsibility’ sooner. He was a human, an abused one at that. And his mistake was very realistic, very human, but not villainous or malicious. In this regard I’ll always be defending curly.

[@lajle6048]

1:55:26 Essentially, Curly didn’t think Jimmy would actually crash the ship. Everyone else on board believed (until the end) that Curly had crashed the ship since Jimmy had never told the truth- obviously Curly wouldn’t be able to tell anyone. I also don’t think Daisuke knew about anything happening between other crew members at all. I do believe Curly was the first to be told about the situation with Anya, and since he was already friends with Jimmy, he put the conflict in the back of his mind. Hope this helps a little! ❤️

[@Notabl3]

Wdym until the end? When’d they find out!

[@lajle6048]

@ I meant that until each if their deaths, no one knew Jimmy was the one who actually crashed the ship. I’m actually not sure if Swansea finds out near the end but I do know both Daisuke and Anya had no idea that it wasn’t Curly.

[@Minion.Memes123]

“May we never go to hell, but always be on our way.” What a beautiful and poetic way to sum up Swansea. A man who was always so pessimistic, but truly had a pure, gentle soul. It’s also clear that by “always being on their way to hell”, the Tulpar played a part in said “Hell”. And honestly, what a goddamn masterpiece of a story. Every single room, every line of dialogue, all of it had so much symbolism and foreshadowing, and truly, pat on the back to the devs.

[@HzizsVynryn]

Reminds me of a Pretty Reckless lyric: "Don't care what happens when I die / As long as I'm alive." I 100% agree with you about the dialogue. But, the final sequences when Jimmy is fully in some kind of psychosis is too wild to me. I don't think his hallucinations would have been as intense as the vagina-thing, much more like the TV scene.... It's either nonsensical or way too long of a stretch.

[@abstrvvct1318]

THE MIMIC IS SO GOOD

[@inyourwifi]

A small correction, Swansea didn't know about the SA until he and Anya were talking in the cockpit (well after the crash), and Daisuke likely didn't know at all. Personally, I don't think Swansea would have sat back and allowed it to go unpunished, considering he already doesn't seem to care for Jimmy, and he does play a protector role in his own way. And even after Anya told him, they were coming up with a plan in private (The plan likely being to put Daisuke in the remaining cryo-pod and leaving Jimmy to rot). The only one who knew but did nothing was Curly. The "good man doing nothing." The exact kind of man monsters like Jimmy need to keep being monsters. Thank you for recognizing and addressing Curly's part in all this. Hope you had a great holiday!

[@regularhuh8880]

I’m wondering…Jimmy mentioned to Curly when he was giving him his medicine about how he saw how everybody looked at him. I know by then Curly obviously knew what he did to Anya and Anya had just then told Swansea, but did Jimmy think that everybody on the ship knew what he did and had known for a while??

[@inyourwifi]

@regularhuh8880 I think he meant they look at him in disappointment and contempt because he doesn't measure up to Curly. Jimmy's a crap captain, yet they have to take orders from him. I think that's what he meant. Jimmy's referring to how he could never measure up to Curly. That, even though he's in charge now, people still don't respect him because he's a crap captain. He puts his own worth in how he tries to be like Curly.

[@irlizuru]

personally, i dont think swansea cared much to help anya and was making that plan just for daisuke’s sake. if he cared, he would have axed jimmy when he found out - after all, theyre all doomed and crashed anyways. why not get rid of the assaulter and tell daisuke what happened? he didn’t because he cared more for daisuke and the cryopod than anya’s situation.

it's nice to see anya's predicament and her isolation from the group being addressed. people say things like "well if swansea knew!" or if "daisuke knew! they would've dealt with jimmy, but it's clear that swansea WAS told and did nothing. with daisuke it's more difficult, his responsibilities with swansea effectively took up both of their time, making it possibly difficult for anya to approach swansea, and his naivety and the constant mention of how much younger he is than the crew probably a reason anya may not have wanted to tell him. the tulpar crew's only woman was violated, isolated and killed. she was killed, even if she killed herself with the painkillers, anya was killed by irresponsibility. she said she wants to believe our worst moments didn't define us, but the player will only ever know her by her worst moments. the worst things to happen to her. anya was killed long before the painkillers.

[@lorettabes4553]

She told only Curly at first, even before Jimmy. Swansea learned of it later, but when you're on a space ship and these are the only people you can interact with, you can't easily take action (especially when Jimmy has the captain position). It's very clear to me that Swansea was very angry at Jimmy. He just couldn't take action at the time. As he was also securing a way out for Daisuke. Telling Daisuke wouldn't have helped Anya. But maybe he'd been someone to talk to. Out of everyone, Anya did not get psyche evaluations. She started spiraling somewhere along the way. Maybe depression, maybe something else. But she lost hope in the end. And when you lose hope, you don't look for help.

[@MinorKey135]

@smagpiethat was only after Anya had killed herself and Daisuke was mercy killed We can’t know his true motivations atm, but I think Swansea just snapped and tried to take Jimmy out (not because of Anya, but because with Daisuke dead there was no hope left)

[@TheOriginalGURGLE]

The saddest part about Daisuke’s death is that Swansea really cared for him enough to let him go, not a lot of people could love someone enough to let them go and I’m proud this man loved Daisuke that much. It’s sad that he loved the kid more than his own parents did. (i repeated so much but it’s like frickin late ok cut me some slack)

[@MDxxxxx]

This game is truly beautifully written. The symbolism, the writing, dialouges, literally everything. Even the designs, like how before crash Curly has his collar a little bit higher than rest of the crew symbolising his authority/being a capitan, how Jimmy has a shirt underneath his uniform symbolising his hidden nature, Daisuke wearing a flower shirt and jewelery unlike rest of the crew symbolising how he is a new worker/diffrent than the rest, Anya wearing flip-flops like a lot of pregnant women. You can see that also corpses (& post-crash Curly) of the crew have some symbolism in them: Daisuke having both of his eyes injured, symbolising his naivity & not knowing what Jimmy did to Anya and him crashing the ship Curly having only his left eye meaning he only belived in/saw one side of Jimmy, thinking he's good Swansea having only his right eye meaning he saw the other (bad) side of Jimmy, how he pushed boundaries with the crew (ex.: telling Daisuke to go in the vent even though he was hesistant) and how he abused Anya Anya having both her eyes, symbolising how she saw the true nature of Jimmy and their doomed fate. Edit: Thanks for the likes! Sorry for any grammar mistakes, english isnt my 1st language. I also noticed how Curly has literally so much symbolism in what happend to him. Like how he was just a bystander when Anya told him what happend, he didn't really do anything other than just watching. However after the crash, he literally can't do anything and is forced to only watch what's happening, which is kinda ironic. He can't escape from the truth and how his lack of action resulted in Anya's OD and Daisuke's death, which later resulted in Swansea being murdered by Jimmy.

[@heart3292]

Cory’s confusion about Curlys attitude towards jimmy even after knowing what he did was exactly how I felt. The way he’s so hell bent on talking to jimmy like that’s suppose do anything, while also disregarding Anya’s obvious unease about around jimmy is just sickening honestly. That’s why I don’t buy the whole “what could he have done??” argument the fan base loves to say, he’s not just some helpless bystander, he’s literally the captain of the entire freakin ship, he could have done far more but chose to keep coddling jimmy with these little “well get through this” “well fix this” lines.

[@coffepot4800]

I mean, it's nothing but realistic to be honest. Curly and Jimmy had had a veryyy long friendship, a very toxic, manipulative friendship, and it's understandable that when presented with a situation like this; curly feels as if though it's HIS duty to take responsibility for what happened, because he's used to cleaning up after Jimmy's mistakes. I also get the idea that if my friend did something like this I wouldn't know what to do, because on hand, that's my friend, yknow? the person I've known all my life and loved, but on the other, they've done some awful shit that changes my whole perspective about them. Now, is what Curly did right? or well, what he didn't do right? absolutely not. He should take accountability for not making Jimmy do something. But I also believe that by the end of the game he's gone through so much shit that he deserves far more than what he got.

[@NeX322]

Humans and responsibility’s don’t often come together well, that’s the theme, that’s why i can understand both sides of questions what he could have did? it isn’t among us you can’t just kick someone off into space, there is a job to be done, that’s why it’s a moral battle

[@supergingerr]

Keep in mind they are in space. So what exactly could he have done aside from try to talk to both people and figure something out until they reached the destination/got home. It’s a small crew of people in close quarters, the best option would be to try and work out some kind of balance until it can be properly dealt with.

[@tsarinastevens9447]

Fr especially since the game does not mention anything about extraterrestrial beings, so the gun is simply there if push comes to shove, while yes this is an sa case, Anya’s sa can also be seen as attempted murder considering she’ll either have to have an unsafe @--tion or carry full term, both of which can kill her and who knows the effects it will have on someone in space. Now I’m not saying we should murder people, but if push comes to shove theirs a pod at the time for both jdiddy and Anya where one can be locked up till it’s time to face punishment on earth and the other has a possible chance of not being affected by pregnancy until they reach earth. And before anyways says “WELL, JIMMY IS CO PILOT SO Technically THEY NEED HIM ON BOARD 🤓☝️”) There is no proof of jdiddy ACTUALLY being fully capable of his job, curly is shown to be stressed from the amount of work that comes with being captain even loosing sleep from it (it can be implied he has a lot of work to do due to his role and even tries to give swansee some of his duties to load of the stress), not to mention the fact Anya isn’t a registered nurse or psychiatrist or psychologist and just has a company course on how to do the job, is it that hard to guy who was let in due to the recommendation of the companies star employee wasn’t just let in due to connections? Also the ship is on autopilot most of the time. Lastly the whole game nearly everyone is mocking jimmy about being captain implying he really hasn’t done much to help besides whine and cry about having to do 5! Mediocre tasks in the span of 4 months, if he can’t handle that what makes us thing this guy was doing much in the first place? Also given how curly now knows about jimmy’s unstable behavior now he wouldn’t really be fit to fly since the company wants their employees to have a good psychological state in order to do their job. ( IF YOU ARE AN ENABLER DO NOT RESPOND TO ME WITH “WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF IT WAS SOMEONE YOU KNEW” BECAUSE WE WOULD NOT BE KNOWING EACH OTHER ANYMORE MENTALITIES LIKE THAT IS HOW THINGS LIKE THIS ESCALATE INTO BIGGER ISSUES EVEN TO THE POINT WHERE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED IN THE THOUSANDS BECAUSE PEOPLE WERE ENABLERS. CURLY HAD OPTIONS HE JUST CARED A BIT TOO MUCH THE CUTE SIDES OF HIS FRIEND TO IGNORE THE MONSTER HE IS AND FOR IT HE HAD TO WATCH AND GO THROUGH THIS TRAGED)

[@codeine8973]

[@Andieranda]

1:25:58 so here, I can’t tell if anyone has said anything about this yet: but a lot of people suspected that Swansea was saving the cryopod for Daisuke. Whenever he’s talking to Anya in the cockpit and she said something like “I understand”, it’s speculated that he’s telling her about his plan to give that up for him. I’m sure, if this is true, then he DEF wouldn’t want Jimmy to know about it.

[@isaiahbethany3547]

Only Curly knew about what had happened (other than Anya of course), but the scene with Anya and Swansea in the cockpit at 'night' was Anya sharing what had happened to Swansea. As far as we know, Daisuke never knew what happened, and Swansea chasing after Jimmy with the axe was him wanting to give him what he deserved after everything. You can also see Anyas 'shy' personality from Jimmy's POV, as that's how he sees her through his eyes when we play as him. Curly's POV is a little more true to reality, but still not quite.
