"You have no more unread messages from Pengali" hit me so hard. Yi's last interaction with Heng was being a dick to her, and he never got to make things right. I love how much of a slow burn this game is with character development. You usually don't see this much talking and waiting around in souls-likes, but I think the game taking its time works super well and makes you really care about them by the end.

Yeah, I think the game really benefits from its first hour or so which has a great hook, I’m honestly pretty impatient with stories in games, which I should work on, but getting invested was very easy in nine sols, despite the amount of dialogue

Is it not Penglai in the game?

It's actually unbelievable how you have such little recognition for such high quality of videos you're putting out, hope the algorithm favors you soon enough!

Thank you, I hope this video does well, this is the first proper video for this new channel, so I expected a slow start, thanks for watching!

13:10 actually, judging from Kuafu’s surprise when Yi didn’t kill him, we can infer if not for Shuan softening Yi up over the two years, he would have killed Kuafu

I remembered at first getting Heng's messages and cutscenes thinking it was a live call like all the other messages, but when I realized how Yi wasn't replying to any of the messages and that Heng was already dead was depressing as fuck. No one really had their good ending in the game except the Apemen. Yi lost Heng, Guilted himself for not being able to come back for her as he was asleep, then ultimately sacrificing himself. Heng died while feeling like Yi abandoned him and never came back. ShuanShuan basically lost everyone he cared about except the beer guy and Kuafu. And Shanhai 9000 finally finding his friend only for her to be turned into an unkillable monster that killed him in the end. The game truly lived up to it's Dark Souls-esque inspiration with how near to none of the npcs had good endings, basically everyone either died or got trauma

Only Chiyou died in honor knowing that he lives consciously and his brother will have his empty, soulless life ended.

I actually believed all of his conversations with Heng were entirely dreamed up and in his head. When I saw that he had no further messages, I suddenly realised Yi was playing back the messages he'd received from Heng on Penglai. In that interpretation it hit just as hard.

You can also find Lady Ethereal's soulscape design took inspiration from Tao Yuanming's folklore "The Peach Blossom Spring 桃花源記". The story follows a fisherman stumbled upon a mysterious otherworldly village in a peach blossom forest, where everyone lives happily and respectfully. He then discovered that the village had been actively isolating themselves for centuries to stay away from war. After he left, the village vanished and was forgotten ever since.

The story of this game reminds me of Laika (perhaps the most unique metroidvania I've ever played), especially the final message from Heng. That game is so goddamn miserable from beginning to end, highly recommended!

If you mean physical edition of the game, no, there's not one out right now or announced, I hope we get one in the future, its coming digitally to consoles on November 26 and is out on Steam now
