The "Lord give me one more chance" part is especially haunting considering that Hugo is the creator the Batter and the Queen and is basically the God of the world of OFF. It feels as though the Batter is begging Hugo for another chance or another way to help him. At the same time it's also as if the Batter is begging the player to give him another option [even though we all know there isn't one].🥺

[@robloxaingoji7246]

Isn't Batter meant to be an abomination hell bent on "purification" created from Hugo's hate of his father, and is doing this COMPLETELY of his own will using the player's help? Like we all know what he really is thanks to the Judge ending, a creature hellbent on destroying everything purely because he thinks it would be better that way. Not the type to ask for forgiveness.

[@RushWheeler]

But isn't the Batter doing this of his own volition? We're just ensuring that he finishes his job.

[@mystrenula3911]

​@@robloxaingoji7246something you seem to be missing is in his dialogue with the queen he mentions how the queen had failed in her role of watching over Hugo and now he has to complete the mission. This implies that if all went well in the past that there could be a better world that the Batter wouldn't have to or even want to purify. This being known it could be reasonably thought that the Batter wishes there was a better way but in his view there are two possible choices with purification being the better

I see that most of those who recommended this video don't know what "OFF" is, so I'll try to explain a bit (Warning, I won't do important Spoilers, but I don't recommend reading if you don't want to know anything about the game before playing ) OFF is considered a cult game in the small and underground circle of the RPG maker game community along with other greats like Omori, Yume Nikki, Mad Father and etcetera. The story is a bit "abstract" but very interesting. The game itself presents you, the player, as the "puppeteer", and you have the mission to help your new puppet to fulfill its sacred mission, said mission will embark you in a surreal world where logic itself does not exist, and you will face all the evils that corrupt the world. Your adventure will take you through different zones where you can travel in order to complete your objective. the game is amazing, great characters, great art, great setting, great soundtrack and most importantly great story. I definitely recommend playing it, it's not very long and it's also totally free, also if you come from other RPG games like Omori, Undertale, Deltarune or Earthbound, you'll like this game a lot.

offというゲームはどういうゲームなのですか？

[@boketsunow130]

@@user-vk1rt7tt4k offは、Mortis Ghost氏によって制作されたフランス製のフリーゲームです。 ここでは、プレイヤーは「バッター」と呼ばれるキャラクター（この動画内の帽子をかぶった男性）を操作することで、“ゾーン”と呼ばれる4つのエリアに出現する「亡霊」たち等を浄化し、各エリアを支配するボスを倒す使命を課されることになります。 このゲームは非常に奇怪な世界観を持っており、哲学的な台詞かつ独特な言い回し、少し不気味だが可愛らしいキャラクターたち、何よりその“メタさ”（プレイヤーはバッターや一部のNPCに認知されてる）に、ハマる人はとことんハマる魅力を持ち合わせています。また物語の背景は詳しく明かされないため、今に至るまでファンの間では多くの考察がなされています。（こちらの動画もおそらくその考察を交えて作られたものだと思われる。） PCにて日本語版が無料でダウンロードできますので、ぜひプレイしてみて下さいネ！

I haven’t thought about this game in a hot minute, been over a decade since I last played it. Man, this was one of the first few games I played that really took advantage of tropes you’d expect from a rpg game, make you believe that it was gonna stick with a standard story formula and then just turn it on its head. It really changed my life in a way I can never begin to truly articulate. I would without a doubt recommend this game or watch a youtuber play it, whatever works for you, because it is a lovely game.
