OK, so I don't want to straight-up say what the BIG STORY REVEAL is, but I still want people who are trying to follow my videos to be able to tell which one this is based on my thumbnail image and my video title, and that's a tricky thing to skirt!

Soooo, sorry for *another* preamble at the beginning, but I felt like I needed to more properly situate where I'm coming from, what people can expect from me, and how I'm going to approach things. If you don't need that info, you're welcome to skip the beginning. Because we got into some good stuff here! Only, what, two runs? But I think I did pretty well in them, I learned some new things, I met Sisyphus and I love him and we are friends now, I continue to love their take on Achilles, I gave a lot of friendship juice to people to see what would happen, and then MOM OH MY GOD THE MOM REVEAL AHHHHHHHHHHH I WAS SURPRISED AND HAD BIG FEELINGS THAT YOU WILL HEAR ABOUT FOR THE NEXT MONTH AT LEAST.

I think I've figured out what's going on. Of course, I am building my idea on almost no actual basis I've been given in the game. But just, like, wait til next week when I present my fully fleshed out theory of what's going on, based on the most absolute threadbare framework of information we've been presented with so far. This is what I do.

I don't ... think this game is as hard as roguelikes usually are? But that's good. Maybe I would think it was more frustrating if I weren't actually looking forward to ending a run and getting more interactions with people and little bits of lore, but so far it doesn't really feel frustrating or unfair or even outrageously difficult or complicated. I'm having a lot of fun with it. Maybe eventually I will start getting impatient, but so far so good.

(I really, really dislike Meg, but I think I'm supposed to. Zagreus deserves better. I don't know who I'm going to ship him with, if anyone, but at this point in time it is extremely not Meg.)
