Let's Play Weird And Unfortunate Things Are Happening - 15 - BIG FACE PHRITOTCH
Yes, I know that's not her proper title, but come on - Many Fingers? Unknowable? Both of those are lame titles. Embrace your big face, Phritotch!
This episode also sees me throw out my voice a bit. Nothing too serious, mind you, but I am very much regretting giving a certain character the voice I gave them. I'm honestly a little surprised that that was one of the voices that did me in โ I can normally do it pretty consistently, but swapping in and out of it repeatedly really screwed with me.
Will I stop doing that voice? Nope!

On a plot note... I wonder if this sequence is setting something up for later? The Phritotch fight was suspiciously easy (though that might just be a result of me playing Normal VERY aggressively), and the bit after the fight has some... suspicious... details in it. Do I entirely buy that Alicia could get out without a hitch, especially with that comment from Other Alicia? No, not really. We'll just have to wait and see, though.
I will say, though, that it was really cool to see the opening sequence from Dottie's perspective. And I don't know if it means anything, but it was interesting to see that Dottie and Lydia have a very similar sense of style. In general, the memory sequences were pretty nice, since most of the dialog is focused on the here and now โ having a sequence where you get to see a formative memory for each of the characters was a good peek past the here-and-now.
I do wish that we got more of the little conversations about the random collectible crap that the party picks up. We got a few of them throughout the game, but they were few and far between, and we haven't had any since we got to City Hall.
