Little Misfortune

WEBVTT

00:00:17.253 --> 00:00:19.893
Hello, everyone, and welcome back to The Other Castle.

00:00:19.953 --> 00:00:21.513
Surprise, it's The Other Castle.

00:00:21.633 --> 00:00:22.333
I'm Andrea.

00:00:22.353 --> 00:00:23.353
And my name is Tom.

00:00:23.373 --> 00:00:28.893
And here on The Other Castle, we do the plot, lore, and more behind all your favorite video games, usually in a season.

00:00:28.913 --> 00:00:31.593
But right now, we're just popping in to say, hello, we miss you.

00:00:31.793 --> 00:00:35.213
Yeah, we really do, you know, we are working really hard for season nine.

00:00:35.353 --> 00:00:37.733
Yes, and it is coming soon.

00:00:37.893 --> 00:00:38.513
Soon, yeah.

00:00:39.233 --> 00:00:39.913
This summer.

00:00:40.153 --> 00:00:41.333
Summer 2024.

00:00:41.373 --> 00:00:42.593
Exactly, thank you, Mr.

00:00:42.613 --> 00:00:43.173
Movie Phone.

00:00:43.193 --> 00:00:43.413
Yeah.

00:00:44.013 --> 00:00:45.173
Is that dated to say?

00:00:45.973 --> 00:00:46.873
Yeah, a little bit.

00:00:46.893 --> 00:00:48.093
That's very Y2K era.

00:00:48.113 --> 00:00:48.353
Yeah.

00:00:49.433 --> 00:00:50.593
But it is happening.

00:00:50.733 --> 00:00:52.033
I am playing through some games.

00:00:52.053 --> 00:00:55.813
I played through one that was so much fun to kill things in.

00:00:55.993 --> 00:00:56.833
Yeah, you had a good time?

00:00:59.133 --> 00:01:01.333
And then I was like, I'm not covering this one until later.

00:01:01.353 --> 00:01:02.773
I need to put this down and play something else.

00:01:02.873 --> 00:01:04.953
But lots of fun stuff happening.

00:01:04.953 --> 00:01:07.753
And just as an interim, hey, what's up, hello.

00:01:08.273 --> 00:01:10.693
This is a game that we pulled from our Discord.

00:01:10.973 --> 00:01:11.733
Yes, we did.

00:01:11.753 --> 00:01:14.573
This is coming straight out of our game suggestions channel.

00:01:15.053 --> 00:01:21.013
Yeah, so if you want to join our Discord, the link is on the show notes and on our website, theothercastlepodcast.com.

00:01:21.053 --> 00:01:22.613
That's the othercastlepodcast.com.

00:01:22.653 --> 00:01:24.153
Also, there's a link to our Patreon.

00:01:24.433 --> 00:01:27.113
Patreon's free for the first week, and then it's $2 a month.

00:01:27.233 --> 00:01:28.733
Lots of extra bonus episodes.

00:01:28.753 --> 00:01:30.893
So you get surprises like this once a month.

00:01:31.053 --> 00:01:33.533
Yes, every single month, even in the off season.

00:01:33.893 --> 00:01:39.533
But this is just because we were like, man, I had a really good time in season eight, so I wanted to say thank you to everyone.

00:01:39.693 --> 00:01:42.653
Yes, and we have been growing so much since season eight.

00:01:42.673 --> 00:01:46.313
That way we can give all of our new listeners something to hold them over until next season.

00:01:46.313 --> 00:01:47.713
Yeah, we're just coming very soon.

00:01:48.353 --> 00:01:52.613
But this title was brought up on our Discord by a handful of our lovely Discord friends.

00:01:52.733 --> 00:02:00.893
So thank you to The Alligator, Xanny, Jaxnator, Rock and Roll Aaron Show, and Jay The Stray for calling this game out or bumping it in their requests.

00:02:01.253 --> 00:02:08.293
I did a blind scroll of our Discord on the game suggestions chat and went, we'll figure it out.

00:02:08.313 --> 00:02:10.393
I went one, two, three, and we landed on this.

00:02:11.393 --> 00:02:12.933
So that's the power of Discord.

00:02:14.253 --> 00:02:16.033
And it also means that we do listen to you guys.

00:02:16.313 --> 00:02:16.593
Yeah.

00:02:16.613 --> 00:02:19.073
And if anyone else called this out, I apologize.

00:02:19.093 --> 00:02:23.273
That's who I saw when I just searched Little Misfortune in the search bar of that chat.

00:02:23.293 --> 00:02:26.073
So if anyone else one upped it, thank you very much.

00:02:26.093 --> 00:02:26.893
It still happened.

00:02:27.653 --> 00:02:30.713
I honestly had never even heard of this game before they suggested it.

00:02:30.813 --> 00:02:31.933
OK, me neither.

00:02:31.953 --> 00:02:33.893
That's the thing.

00:02:33.913 --> 00:02:37.853
Like, there are way more steam players than you and I are.

00:02:37.973 --> 00:02:38.793
That's very true.

00:02:38.993 --> 00:02:44.833
I feel like the breadth of games that they get to play and access and get into is much wider than ours.

00:02:44.993 --> 00:02:47.853
Well, now I'm just stuck always doing games for this show.

00:02:47.873 --> 00:02:48.833
Yeah.

00:02:49.433 --> 00:02:50.173
So you're locked in.

00:02:50.193 --> 00:02:54.453
I mean, that's exactly what happened to me because I just played this game, Little Misfortune.

00:02:54.633 --> 00:03:01.293
I took Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth as like my one game that I get to just play for me, and I ended up playing for 94 damn hours.

00:03:01.433 --> 00:03:02.373
That's stupid.

00:03:02.553 --> 00:03:04.053
It was a little bloated.

00:03:04.073 --> 00:03:05.033
I'm not going to lie.

00:03:05.153 --> 00:03:09.233
At 94 hours, yeah, I'd imagine so.

00:03:09.273 --> 00:03:10.333
What the fuck?

00:03:10.353 --> 00:03:14.033
Still had some good fun with it, but yeah, that was a little too long to be honest.

00:03:14.153 --> 00:03:16.153
Yeah, ugh, that's ridiculous.

00:03:16.173 --> 00:03:18.433
I don't like that you did 94 hours doing anything.

00:03:18.453 --> 00:03:19.273
Yeah, I know.

00:03:19.373 --> 00:03:21.693
I didn't like having to do it for 94 hours either.

00:03:21.713 --> 00:03:22.953
How long is Little Misfortune?

00:03:23.053 --> 00:03:23.413
Two.

00:03:23.773 --> 00:03:24.953
Two, all right.

00:03:24.973 --> 00:03:26.653
Maybe three hours, yeah.

00:03:26.933 --> 00:03:31.073
If you get down on it and you're like, oh, let me listen to all the voice lines.

00:03:31.093 --> 00:03:33.573
Yeah, probably about twice as long as this episode's gonna be.

00:03:35.373 --> 00:03:41.993
As we get into the episode, I do wanna say there is gonna be discussion of several types of abuse, and the trigger warnings will be listed in the show notes.

00:03:42.353 --> 00:03:50.593
So in 2012, married couple Natalia Martinson and Asik Martinson founded Kill Monday Game Studio while they were living in Stockholm, Sweden.

00:03:51.213 --> 00:03:57.233
Before setting up a game studio, they had a lot of creative ventures like movies, music videos, and other fun shit like that.

00:03:58.233 --> 00:04:04.633
After establishing Kill Monday, they got to work on their first release, Fran Bow, which has also been brought up in our Discord.

00:04:04.933 --> 00:04:06.273
I was gonna say, that one sounds familiar.

00:04:06.853 --> 00:04:08.013
From Discord, yeah.

00:04:08.573 --> 00:04:14.393
Natalia was the artist and creative, and Asik was the programmer and composer and did kind of more of the techie shit.

00:04:15.053 --> 00:04:21.173
Through their partnership, Natalia was established as the CEO and Asik as the CTO of Kill Monday.

00:04:21.813 --> 00:04:25.793
They were completely self-taught, so setting up a game studio is truly a labor of love.

00:04:26.393 --> 00:04:32.033
To help get the studio and project off the ground, they turned to Indiegogo with a goal of $20,000.

00:04:32.513 --> 00:04:35.613
They ended up raising over $28,000, which is awesome.

00:04:35.673 --> 00:04:36.373
That's pretty good.

00:04:36.453 --> 00:04:36.813
Yeah.

00:04:37.273 --> 00:04:41.433
And in the first month after release, Fran Bow had moved over 10,000 copies.

00:04:41.553 --> 00:04:42.073
Wow.

00:04:42.273 --> 00:04:45.573
It's not bad for a freshman title from a small indie studio.

00:04:45.573 --> 00:04:47.173
So small, it's literally just two people.

00:04:47.313 --> 00:04:47.633
Yes.

00:04:48.313 --> 00:04:50.633
It's kind of just an eccentric hobby, to be real.

00:04:50.673 --> 00:04:51.433
Like this podcast?

00:04:51.453 --> 00:04:51.733
Yeah.

00:04:52.453 --> 00:04:55.493
It's a couple that's like, we like video games, how can we be a part of this?

00:04:55.513 --> 00:04:55.773
Yeah.

00:04:58.273 --> 00:05:07.533
After Fran Bow launched in 2015, Killmonday moved from Stockholm to Hedemora, which I feel like I butchered, I apologize, which is still in Sweden.

00:05:07.673 --> 00:05:09.993
And they got started working on the follow-up to Fran Bow.

00:05:10.413 --> 00:05:13.513
They started on a game called Different Galaxy, which was about a cat.

00:05:13.933 --> 00:05:14.473
Love that.

00:05:14.493 --> 00:05:15.893
We love a cat game on this show.

00:05:16.013 --> 00:05:16.713
Oh, so much.

00:05:16.993 --> 00:05:18.373
That game got put on pause.

00:05:18.513 --> 00:05:24.513
And in 2018, the studio announced that they were working on another secret game alongside Different Galaxy.

00:05:24.893 --> 00:05:27.613
And that one would grow into Little Misfortune.

00:05:29.213 --> 00:05:36.693
Little Misfortune has largely been lauded as a funnier game counterpoint to Fran Bow, but is still staunchly an indie horror experience.

00:05:37.193 --> 00:05:38.353
A funny indie horror.

00:05:38.613 --> 00:05:42.133
Which I did not realize this would be a horror game.

00:05:42.473 --> 00:05:43.133
Oh no.

00:05:43.153 --> 00:05:46.393
I went, oh, that's why kids are suggesting it.

00:05:46.673 --> 00:05:48.273
Hell yeah.

00:05:48.293 --> 00:05:52.333
Yeah, this doesn't seem like it's about a fucking scary story.

00:05:52.653 --> 00:05:53.053
Okay.

00:05:53.353 --> 00:05:54.173
And then you play it.

00:05:54.513 --> 00:05:55.473
And then it's a little silly?

00:05:57.433 --> 00:05:58.413
It's so jarring.

00:05:59.093 --> 00:06:07.533
Little Misfortune's production came while the team started to expand from the couple to a total of six employees, which was very exciting for the small studio.

00:06:07.613 --> 00:06:08.713
Tripled their size.

00:06:08.733 --> 00:06:09.453
Exactly.

00:06:09.473 --> 00:06:11.933
And that's all the line item needs to say.

00:06:13.233 --> 00:06:18.593
They also got help from another studio in Stockholm to help finish out doing the cut scenes and the video animation there.

00:06:19.653 --> 00:06:22.573
Team Kill Monday was all hands on deck for Little Misfortune.

00:06:23.013 --> 00:06:28.613
So much so that CEO, Natalia Martinson end up voicing the titular character, Misfortune.

00:06:28.933 --> 00:06:29.313
Oh, wow.

00:06:29.333 --> 00:06:29.933
That's really cool.

00:06:29.953 --> 00:06:32.473
That's a very all hands on deck situation then.

00:06:32.753 --> 00:06:33.433
Exactly.

00:06:33.453 --> 00:06:38.053
It's, is it getting a little Sam Lake going, I'll step in, I'll be Max Payne.

00:06:38.273 --> 00:06:39.753
I was actually thinking more Hades.

00:06:40.213 --> 00:06:40.613
Oh, okay.

00:06:40.633 --> 00:06:43.213
Where they just had the developers be like, you have a sexy voice.

00:06:43.233 --> 00:06:44.533
Would you mind just hopping in the booth?

00:06:44.553 --> 00:06:45.293
Yeah, exactly.

00:06:45.973 --> 00:06:48.193
Can you imagine being in an all hands there?

00:06:48.213 --> 00:06:54.713
Just the absolute bisexual nightmare of hearing devs be like, hello, I've got the project ready for you.

00:06:54.733 --> 00:06:57.433
Right, all those voices are just real people.

00:06:57.533 --> 00:06:59.173
Yeah, attached to bodies.

00:06:59.193 --> 00:07:01.733
I don't know, that needs to be attached to a demigod.

00:07:01.913 --> 00:07:03.693
Oh, Aphrodite is my coworker?

00:07:03.693 --> 00:07:04.373
No, thank you.

00:07:04.393 --> 00:07:04.993
Yeah, HR.

00:07:05.013 --> 00:07:07.133
I mean, yes, please, but also no, thank you.

00:07:07.233 --> 00:07:08.093
HR on deck.

00:07:10.093 --> 00:07:16.453
In Little Misfortune, the protagonist Misfortune Ramirez Hernandez is an eight-year-old Hispanic girl living in Sweden.

00:07:16.473 --> 00:07:17.333
That's a hell of a name.

00:07:18.693 --> 00:07:24.933
Well, Natalia herself is Chilean, so it worked out for her to voice a little girl because it's basically a tiny her.

00:07:26.413 --> 00:07:32.013
She was able to knock out her lines for the game over two weeks in four-hour segments, which feels very fast.

00:07:32.033 --> 00:07:33.213
That's super quick.

00:07:34.153 --> 00:07:39.913
In addition to Natalia, Killmonday hired Swedish actor Henrik Normen to play Mr.

00:07:39.933 --> 00:07:40.313
Voice.

00:07:41.313 --> 00:07:45.933
Henrik has 50 actor entries on INDB, so this was a really cool get for the team.

00:07:46.613 --> 00:07:54.793
Henrik also had met Natalia previously when she asked him to voice a character in an animation school project, which he agreed to do for free.

00:07:55.733 --> 00:07:59.373
He has since been paid for his work handsomely, so it's okay now.

00:07:59.453 --> 00:08:00.093
Okay, that's good.

00:08:01.193 --> 00:08:08.633
The studio has actually released several weekly vlogs on YouTube during the production cycle of Little Misfortune, and I'll drop a link to that in our Discord.

00:08:08.813 --> 00:08:09.553
That's really cool.

00:08:09.713 --> 00:08:18.653
It's mostly clips of production and putting the game together and kind of what day-to-day life is in the studio, but it's fun and frankly really cool that they track their whole progress.

00:08:18.873 --> 00:08:25.233
Honestly, to put that kind of effort into a side project while working on a big project is kind of impressive.

00:08:25.553 --> 00:08:27.253
Across six people, yeah.

00:08:27.273 --> 00:08:27.593
Yeah.

00:08:28.593 --> 00:08:35.173
A lot of it is in Swedish though, so I think a lot of the behind-the-scenes kind of went over my monolingual head, but I was like, oh, I like their energy.

00:08:35.193 --> 00:08:35.933
Fair enough.

00:08:36.813 --> 00:08:45.133
Little Misfortune was released on Steam on September 18th, 2019, and came out on consoles and mobile over the course of 2020 to mixed reviews.

00:08:45.913 --> 00:08:51.273
Some reviews lauded the game for being off-putting or unsettling, while some found it charming and fun.

00:08:52.013 --> 00:08:58.033
Overall, reviewers did say they enjoyed the acting and particularly found the protagonist charming, but the game itself was lacking.

00:08:59.233 --> 00:09:05.553
I'd be remiss to not call out that, in comparison, Fran Bow overall got much stronger reviews.

00:09:06.013 --> 00:09:10.593
But this is not the title that our Discord wanted to hear about, so we're gonna talk about Little Misfortune.

00:09:10.833 --> 00:09:11.393
All right, then.

00:09:11.453 --> 00:09:13.393
I'm here for the listeners, not the fucking critics.

00:09:14.653 --> 00:09:19.953
To date, Little Misfortune has sold about 368,000 copies worldwide.

00:09:20.473 --> 00:09:24.293
That's not a crazy number, but for an independent studio, that's pretty good.

00:09:24.513 --> 00:09:25.713
Yeah, exactly.

00:09:25.733 --> 00:09:28.433
If it's a handful of people doing this, that's fucking sick.

00:09:28.793 --> 00:09:31.333
If this were a AAA, this would be so embarrassing.

00:09:33.333 --> 00:09:34.613
But they did a lot on a little.

00:09:35.633 --> 00:09:40.853
Since the release, the company started working on quite a few games, something called the Benjamin Game.

00:09:41.093 --> 00:09:45.373
They're also working on a Fran Bow DLC and a Fran Bow sequel entirely.

00:09:45.533 --> 00:09:45.933
Nice.

00:09:46.213 --> 00:09:52.513
Unfortunately, games came and went and got canceled, and the team ended up having to let go some of their workforce.

00:09:53.133 --> 00:09:54.213
Oh, I hate that.

00:09:54.393 --> 00:09:54.893
I know.

00:09:55.213 --> 00:09:57.873
It's been happening so much in gaming right now.

00:09:57.913 --> 00:09:59.493
It can't stop in gaming.

00:10:00.913 --> 00:10:07.173
At the end of 2023, Kill Monday consisted of Isaac, Natalia, and one more full-time team member.

00:10:07.473 --> 00:10:09.573
Damn, so they cut their team in half now.

00:10:09.593 --> 00:10:10.833
They laid off half the workforce.

00:10:11.053 --> 00:10:11.273
Ugh.

00:10:11.453 --> 00:10:14.613
Terrible poll quote, but that is exactly what happened.

00:10:15.613 --> 00:10:22.453
Lately, they've been focusing on merch and sales for Fran Bow and Little Misfortune, and have been kind of quiet about which game will actually be their next title.

00:10:22.553 --> 00:10:24.413
Yeah, because they're all busy fucking working.

00:10:25.993 --> 00:10:28.453
There's one guy just mopping in the background, you know?

00:10:28.513 --> 00:10:29.553
That's the third employee.

00:10:29.573 --> 00:10:31.593
Yeah, the one that's not in the marriage.

00:10:31.613 --> 00:10:31.913
Right.

00:10:32.613 --> 00:10:38.013
Anyway, Natalia has said that they have a very long plan for a connected universe and beyond.

00:10:38.853 --> 00:10:44.893
Fran Bow and Little Misfortune definitively do exist in the same universes, and there will be some overlap with that game.

00:10:45.453 --> 00:10:47.793
But for now, we're just going to focus on this game.

00:10:48.013 --> 00:10:49.913
These remedy loving motherfuckers.

00:10:50.713 --> 00:10:52.473
They're European.

00:10:52.833 --> 00:10:54.173
We start out on the Pacific North.

00:10:56.633 --> 00:10:58.633
But this is Little Misfortune.

00:10:59.693 --> 00:11:01.553
The game opens on the underground.

00:11:01.873 --> 00:11:06.733
We see skeletons and loose bones rotting with worms crawling through their crevices in the dirt.

00:11:07.553 --> 00:11:13.353
The camera pans up to the surface, and we see a cloaked skeleton speaking to a fox who is standing upright.

00:11:13.993 --> 00:11:17.293
The cloaked skeleton raises a bony arm out and points forward.

00:11:17.853 --> 00:11:22.473
The fox follows the direction and seeks a strange gravestone with mysterious symbols on it.

00:11:23.053 --> 00:11:26.633
The fox nods to the figure as the figure is swept away by the wind.

00:11:27.233 --> 00:11:32.513
The fox plugs in some headphones and walks over to the strange gravestone, pulling a small wagon behind them.

00:11:33.513 --> 00:11:36.533
Once at the strange gravestone, the fox puts its hand on it.

00:11:36.833 --> 00:11:39.033
And the strange gravestone glows blue.

00:11:40.253 --> 00:11:44.553
After a moment, the strange gravestone explodes and reveals a portal.

00:11:45.333 --> 00:11:47.933
The fox pulls the wagon and enters the portal.

00:11:48.273 --> 00:11:48.833
As you do.

00:11:49.433 --> 00:11:50.493
What wouldn't you do?

00:11:51.913 --> 00:11:55.913
The next thing we see is a small single story home in the fall.

00:11:56.593 --> 00:12:01.493
They seem to be out in the middle of nowhere, just on the outskirts of the nearby town of Openfield, Sweden.

00:12:02.393 --> 00:12:07.333
It's October 11th, 1993, and the trees are hanging on to their last leaves.

00:12:08.433 --> 00:12:12.853
The camera lingers on the home as a warm male voice begins to welcome the player to the game.

00:12:13.413 --> 00:12:14.913
This is Henrik Norman, Mr.

00:12:14.933 --> 00:12:17.033
Voice, and this is his favorite part of the game.

00:12:17.653 --> 00:12:17.953
Mr.

00:12:17.973 --> 00:12:21.393
Voice says, he'll be the host and humble narrator for the game.

00:12:21.853 --> 00:12:22.633
I'm not gonna do that.

00:12:22.993 --> 00:12:23.433
I can't.

00:12:23.613 --> 00:12:24.973
No, that's an offensive accent.

00:12:25.133 --> 00:12:25.573
It is?

00:12:26.233 --> 00:12:26.853
A little bit.

00:12:27.033 --> 00:12:27.473
Really?

00:12:27.753 --> 00:12:28.733
You're not good at it.

00:12:28.793 --> 00:12:29.853
Oh, just because it's bad.

00:12:30.913 --> 00:12:35.553
I'll take that as I don't want to be unkind, but we can talk about the quality of my shit.

00:12:35.573 --> 00:12:36.133
That's fine.

00:12:36.153 --> 00:12:36.993
I'll take that on the face.

00:12:37.873 --> 00:12:40.113
Anyway, he's the humble narrator for the game.

00:12:40.133 --> 00:12:41.333
The rules of the game are simple.

00:12:41.593 --> 00:12:43.573
Play it until the end and you'll be rewarded.

00:12:44.913 --> 00:12:46.373
How fucking everything works, man.

00:12:47.473 --> 00:12:53.413
Inside the house, we see a little girl, eight years old, with a big pumpkin-shaped head and a pink beret.

00:12:54.233 --> 00:12:58.233
She's got brown hair and big brown eyes and is playing with paper dolls on the floor.

00:12:59.293 --> 00:12:59.653
Mr.

00:12:59.673 --> 00:13:01.233
Voice introduces us to Miss Fortune.

00:13:01.833 --> 00:13:04.973
She's a wonderful child from a not-so-wonderful family.

00:13:05.533 --> 00:13:08.013
She sprinkles glitter on her paper dolls, and Mr.

00:13:08.033 --> 00:13:11.273
Voice says that today is the day she will die.

00:13:11.673 --> 00:13:12.533
Oh, Jesus.

00:13:14.153 --> 00:13:17.473
Miss Fortune looks up and says, I can hear you, you know.

00:13:19.033 --> 00:13:20.713
Are you inside my head or something?

00:13:21.453 --> 00:13:21.813
Mr.

00:13:21.833 --> 00:13:24.893
Voice says, oh, well, okay, yes.

00:13:26.413 --> 00:13:28.973
Miss Fortune says, okay, I'll call you Mr.

00:13:28.993 --> 00:13:29.293
Voice.

00:13:29.753 --> 00:13:31.133
What did you say about me dying?

00:13:32.453 --> 00:13:32.773
Mr.

00:13:32.793 --> 00:13:34.913
Voice says, oh, no, no, no, no one said that.

00:13:35.013 --> 00:13:37.393
Hey, anyway, I have a game for you.

00:13:37.793 --> 00:13:41.813
If you can reach the end of the game, I'll give you eternal happiness.

00:13:42.533 --> 00:13:42.893
Deal?

00:13:43.813 --> 00:13:46.733
Miss Fortune says, well, I guess I could give that to my mommy.

00:13:47.173 --> 00:13:47.713
It's a deal.

00:13:48.593 --> 00:13:51.053
As she agrees, we get a flash of her room changed.

00:13:51.433 --> 00:13:58.953
It goes from bright and sunlight and full of her clothes and toys and things to it being dark and decrepit and rotting and empty.

00:13:59.733 --> 00:14:02.413
So right out the gate, Miss Fortune knows she's in a video game?

00:14:02.913 --> 00:14:03.213
No.

00:14:03.713 --> 00:14:04.033
Oh, okay.

00:14:04.053 --> 00:14:04.813
You said that Mr.

00:14:04.833 --> 00:14:06.273
Voice said if you make it to the end of the game.

00:14:06.433 --> 00:14:06.773
Yeah.

00:14:07.453 --> 00:14:08.973
I don't think she knows she's in a game.

00:14:09.233 --> 00:14:09.573
Okay.

00:14:09.593 --> 00:14:11.093
I don't think she knows she's in a video game.

00:14:11.113 --> 00:14:12.273
She thinks she's in a game.

00:14:12.433 --> 00:14:14.413
Okay, but this whole thing is just gonna be one big game.

00:14:14.493 --> 00:14:14.853
Yeah.

00:14:15.153 --> 00:14:15.453
Okay.

00:14:15.733 --> 00:14:17.553
But she doesn't think she's in a video game.

00:14:17.693 --> 00:14:18.173
Fair enough.

00:14:18.353 --> 00:14:19.333
It is 93.

00:14:19.353 --> 00:14:20.033
It's 93.

00:14:20.053 --> 00:14:21.893
She's not like, oh, I'm Pong.

00:14:23.673 --> 00:14:24.413
From Pong.

00:14:25.353 --> 00:14:27.953
Once the room comes back to being normal, Mr.

00:14:27.973 --> 00:14:29.653
Voice says, fantastic.

00:14:29.753 --> 00:14:30.573
Are you ready to play?

00:14:31.033 --> 00:14:33.253
Your first mission is to leave the house.

00:14:34.093 --> 00:14:36.413
Miss Fortune says, okay, I'm gonna do it.

00:14:37.273 --> 00:14:44.493
Before leaving, she dances a bit to the radio and then goes into a small fort she calls her secret spot and reads her diary to Mr.

00:14:44.513 --> 00:14:44.833
Voice.

00:14:45.573 --> 00:14:51.153
Her diary shows that her daddy hits her mommy sometimes, and when they scream at each other, she hides.

00:14:52.573 --> 00:14:55.853
She has also seen a fox near her window and has named him Benjamin.

00:14:56.513 --> 00:15:01.493
He has a striking resemblance to the fox we saw in the opening scene, but that probably has nothing to do with this.

00:15:01.513 --> 00:15:02.453
Probably not foreshadowing.

00:15:03.133 --> 00:15:06.473
She also has a Japanese friend named Hiro, who she says is a ghost.

00:15:07.253 --> 00:15:10.053
Hiro is a small boy who wears a green alien mask.

00:15:11.213 --> 00:15:16.133
In her secret spot, Miss Fortune also has a toy bear named Bubsy and a coloring book.

00:15:16.793 --> 00:15:19.313
Bubsy is a bear who fought a monster for Miss Fortune.

00:15:19.833 --> 00:15:21.313
He will guard the secret spot.

00:15:22.053 --> 00:15:25.353
She decides to take her coloring book just in case she gets bored on the adventure.

00:15:26.573 --> 00:15:30.853
Outside her secret spot, Miss Fortune picks up her glitter to take with her on the adventure.

00:15:31.133 --> 00:15:33.353
She fucking loves glitter.

00:15:33.373 --> 00:15:34.953
It's her favorite thing in the entire world.

00:15:34.953 --> 00:15:36.573
What kid doesn't love glitter?

00:15:36.893 --> 00:15:37.653
Sad ones.

00:15:37.833 --> 00:15:39.673
Yeah, well, it makes a damn mess everywhere.

00:15:40.433 --> 00:15:41.193
But it's pretty.

00:15:41.513 --> 00:15:42.633
Kids love making messes.

00:15:43.493 --> 00:15:45.813
Miss Fortune tries to take her toys with her, but Mr.

00:15:45.833 --> 00:15:47.633
Voice says she can only take one.

00:15:48.133 --> 00:15:53.453
She has two toys, one unicorn and one rock with blood stains on it.

00:15:53.833 --> 00:15:54.633
That's her toy?

00:15:54.993 --> 00:15:56.633
I obviously chose the stone.

00:15:58.593 --> 00:16:03.033
And she says that stone is a stone that her daddy threw at her once.

00:16:03.433 --> 00:16:04.213
Oh my God.

00:16:04.453 --> 00:16:04.733
At?

00:16:05.153 --> 00:16:05.433
At.

00:16:05.453 --> 00:16:06.013
Not to.

00:16:06.813 --> 00:16:09.713
And there are blood stains on, so it seems like it made contact.

00:16:09.713 --> 00:16:10.733
Oh my shit.

00:16:10.953 --> 00:16:15.593
Under the blood stains, there's a small smiley face that she drew onto the stone.

00:16:15.753 --> 00:16:18.913
But it's exactly as sad as you think it is.

00:16:19.553 --> 00:16:20.253
She tells Mr.

00:16:20.273 --> 00:16:23.433
Voice that she calls him stony, you know, because he's a stone.

00:16:24.373 --> 00:16:27.153
It's about as creative as Wilson from fucking Castaway.

00:16:27.173 --> 00:16:28.433
Yeah, but Mr.

00:16:28.453 --> 00:16:30.033
Voice says that she's very clever.

00:16:30.933 --> 00:16:31.893
Before she leaves, Ms.

00:16:31.913 --> 00:16:36.433
Fortune sprinkles glitter everywhere in the room, screaming, happiness to everything.

00:16:37.393 --> 00:16:38.213
And then she leaves.

00:16:39.393 --> 00:16:40.853
Once the room is empty, Mr.

00:16:40.873 --> 00:16:42.053
Voice addresses the player.

00:16:42.293 --> 00:16:46.933
He says, hey you, on the other side of the screen, remember how I said she was gonna die?

00:16:47.573 --> 00:16:48.733
Let's keep that between us.

00:16:49.733 --> 00:16:52.493
Oh my God, how do you keep that between you two?

00:16:53.073 --> 00:16:58.213
Well, like most secrets, this one is not long for this world.

00:16:58.393 --> 00:16:59.753
Just like little Miss Fortune.

00:16:59.773 --> 00:17:01.573
That's fair, oh my God.

00:17:01.913 --> 00:17:04.173
In the hall, Miss Fortune talks a bit about her family.

00:17:04.653 --> 00:17:08.533
She says her mom wanted to get an abortion when she was pregnant with her, but it was illegal.

00:17:09.313 --> 00:17:10.613
Now she drinks a lot of wine.

00:17:11.733 --> 00:17:14.393
Miss Fortune stumbles down the hall and shatters a vase.

00:17:14.793 --> 00:17:17.053
She's embarrassed, but resolves to try to fix the vase.

00:17:17.453 --> 00:17:20.993
She puts the pieces back together, and it looks terrible, but she tried.

00:17:22.013 --> 00:17:27.553
Miss Fortune comes up on a pair of moose antlers and says, her daddy's friend was a hunter and shot this moose.

00:17:28.093 --> 00:17:32.933
His daughter, Erica, thought the gun was a toy and said, bang, bang, to her mommy and daddy.

00:17:33.333 --> 00:17:35.733
And then her parents died, and she was really sad.

00:17:35.973 --> 00:17:37.093
Oh, shit.

00:17:37.373 --> 00:17:41.753
And she says it in just the saddest way that only an eight-year-old child could.

00:17:42.193 --> 00:17:43.773
Oh, my goodness.

00:17:43.793 --> 00:17:47.673
That is fucking too true to what happens in the world.

00:17:48.653 --> 00:17:49.833
We've barely got into this.

00:17:49.853 --> 00:17:51.633
I'm gonna need you to pull it together for me.

00:17:51.793 --> 00:17:52.093
Oh, wow.

00:17:52.133 --> 00:17:53.253
This is gonna be a dark one.

00:17:53.833 --> 00:17:55.413
Miss Fortune goes to the kitchen where Mr.

00:17:55.433 --> 00:17:58.253
Voice says, Ew, it smells like cigarettes in here.

00:17:58.733 --> 00:18:01.053
Miss Fortune goes, Yep, that's my mommy.

00:18:02.233 --> 00:18:03.733
She drinks a lot of juice.

00:18:04.253 --> 00:18:05.753
It was 93.

00:18:05.773 --> 00:18:08.033
There was a smoking section at fucking Chuck E.

00:18:08.053 --> 00:18:08.393
Cheese.

00:18:08.553 --> 00:18:09.273
Was there really?

00:18:09.273 --> 00:18:09.873
Oh, yeah.

00:18:10.973 --> 00:18:11.433
Gross.

00:18:12.453 --> 00:18:17.733
We see her mom raise a full fucking wine glass to her lips as she drinks her quote unquote juice.

00:18:18.853 --> 00:18:22.633
Miss Fortune's mother is cooking rabbit soup, which smells absolutely awful.

00:18:23.233 --> 00:18:28.713
Miss Fortune opens the fridge and sees a bunch of dead rabbits, not just the meat, like bodies of rabbits.

00:18:28.713 --> 00:18:29.653
What the fuck?

00:18:29.813 --> 00:18:31.433
She decides to throw glitter on them.

00:18:33.413 --> 00:18:37.933
As Miss Fortune sees her mother, she says, When she grows up, she wants to be just like her mommy.

00:18:38.433 --> 00:18:39.153
No, you don't.

00:18:39.173 --> 00:18:40.233
A juice drinker.

00:18:40.453 --> 00:18:40.693
Oh.

00:18:42.093 --> 00:18:44.933
Miss Fortune throws some glitter on her mom as she leaves.

00:18:45.633 --> 00:18:50.033
Whenever Miss Fortune throws glitter at something, her heart swells a little bit and beats really hard.

00:18:50.413 --> 00:18:56.213
There are 16 instances in the game where she can throw glitter, and every single time, it's fucking adorable.

00:18:57.413 --> 00:19:02.493
Miss Fortune leaves her house and greets the outside by exclaiming, Good day, morning.

00:19:04.013 --> 00:19:05.613
She looks around a bit and tells Mr.

00:19:05.633 --> 00:19:07.673
Voice where she saw the fox named Benjamin.

00:19:08.373 --> 00:19:12.893
She says he was right outside her window and that he's really cute.

00:19:14.073 --> 00:19:18.633
There is some ongoing undertone that Miss Fortune has a romantic crush on Benjamin the fox.

00:19:18.753 --> 00:19:19.733
Oh, that kind of cute.

00:19:20.313 --> 00:19:25.413
Yeah, like, there's stars in her eyes when she talks about the fucking fox.

00:19:25.653 --> 00:19:26.773
These fucking furries.

00:19:27.053 --> 00:19:32.133
She doesn't know, she's eight, she's figuring herself out, she's like, what's up, woodland creature?

00:19:32.153 --> 00:19:34.093
You were bipedal for some reason.

00:19:34.553 --> 00:19:35.333
Maybe we should kiss.

00:19:35.353 --> 00:19:41.353
And there's something to say about kids that have gone through trauma or abuse, perhaps growing up faster than some of their peers.

00:19:41.353 --> 00:19:41.993
Very true.

00:19:42.053 --> 00:19:45.853
And it's clear that she's had rocks thrown at her by her father.

00:19:46.153 --> 00:19:46.993
Oh, Jesus.

00:19:47.093 --> 00:19:50.733
So, you know, there are factors going into what's going on with her.

00:19:51.413 --> 00:19:51.773
Mr.

00:19:51.793 --> 00:19:54.893
Voice tells her not to trust the Fox because they're all criminals.

00:19:55.533 --> 00:19:55.753
Ms.

00:19:55.773 --> 00:19:58.193
Wirtzen says a Fox criminal is very silly.

00:20:00.673 --> 00:20:05.233
She comes to a car parked on their lawn and says, this is where daddy often sleeps.

00:20:07.853 --> 00:20:10.533
There are skid marks from the road to the parked car.

00:20:10.833 --> 00:20:12.113
Oh, there's so many implications.

00:20:12.893 --> 00:20:16.113
It appears her daddy also likes to hit the juice, just like her mommy does.

00:20:16.313 --> 00:20:16.813
Yeah.

00:20:17.193 --> 00:20:17.533
Mr.

00:20:17.553 --> 00:20:18.153
Voice tells Ms.

00:20:18.153 --> 00:20:19.453
Fortune the rules of the game.

00:20:19.873 --> 00:20:21.813
He says there will be choices through the game.

00:20:22.253 --> 00:20:26.053
There are no right or wrong answers, just consequences.

00:20:26.793 --> 00:20:30.373
And when you beat the game, the prize of eternal happiness is all yours.

00:20:31.193 --> 00:20:33.133
The next mission is to cross the road.

00:20:34.093 --> 00:20:34.353
Ms.

00:20:34.373 --> 00:20:35.593
Fortune says she can do that.

00:20:35.713 --> 00:20:42.233
So she looks to the left and to the right for cars, but halfway through the road, the world shifts again like it did in her bedroom.

00:20:42.873 --> 00:20:47.533
Instead of being in the middle of the road, she's in a desolate, dark landscape with rotting trees and bones.

00:20:48.053 --> 00:20:51.093
She's standing in the middle of a cracked circle in the ground that's glowing red.

00:20:51.653 --> 00:20:54.593
It only happens for a moment, then she's back in the world she knows.

00:20:55.233 --> 00:20:57.113
She says she saw a monster.

00:20:57.753 --> 00:20:58.113
Mr.

00:20:58.133 --> 00:21:00.253
Voice assures her it was just her imagination.

00:21:01.233 --> 00:21:02.633
On the other side of the road, Ms.

00:21:02.653 --> 00:21:04.953
Fortune sees a dead bird and throws glitter on it.

00:21:06.473 --> 00:21:07.393
I love the glitter.

00:21:08.053 --> 00:21:09.333
It keeps her going, you know.

00:21:10.213 --> 00:21:14.013
She keeps moving through the woods, and more and more birds fall dead at her feet.

00:21:14.193 --> 00:21:14.773
Jesus.

00:21:15.073 --> 00:21:18.893
In the distance, a thunderbolt hits a nearby farm, and it sets on fire.

00:21:19.553 --> 00:21:21.433
From afar, she throws glitter on it.

00:21:23.653 --> 00:21:30.193
A satellite falls out of the sky and barely misses her, but she giggles, glitters it, and moves on.

00:21:30.433 --> 00:21:31.433
A satellite.

00:21:31.453 --> 00:21:33.573
She almost died from a satellite.

00:21:33.573 --> 00:21:33.973
Yes.

00:21:35.393 --> 00:21:40.573
She is just avoiding death barely every step of the way, and she's like glitter.

00:21:40.693 --> 00:21:42.273
She's not named Little Miss Lucky.

00:21:42.313 --> 00:21:43.293
Yeah, that's fair.

00:21:43.313 --> 00:21:45.733
Bummer shit keeps happening around her.

00:21:45.973 --> 00:21:47.353
Is Miss her first name?

00:21:47.633 --> 00:21:48.853
Miss Fortune is one word.

00:21:48.933 --> 00:21:50.173
Miss Fortune is one word?

00:21:50.193 --> 00:21:50.413
Yeah.

00:21:51.273 --> 00:21:55.953
Farther down the road, Miss Fortune runs into a puppy with a party hat tied to a tree.

00:21:56.493 --> 00:21:59.593
He's a goofy little crusty, curly white dog.

00:21:59.653 --> 00:22:00.353
You know the kind.

00:22:00.553 --> 00:22:01.493
Oh, the crusty dogs.

00:22:01.933 --> 00:22:02.073
Mr.

00:22:02.093 --> 00:22:06.973
Voice tells her that she has to make a very difficult choice and be aware of the consequences.

00:22:07.713 --> 00:22:11.033
Miss Fortune can hear, play with the dog, or set it free.

00:22:11.673 --> 00:22:16.413
There are some branching narrative things, because I obviously have to play a game with branching narratives.

00:22:16.433 --> 00:22:16.853
Always.

00:22:17.693 --> 00:22:26.573
So we're just going to go with my decisions throughout the game for what it's worth, for better or worse, I suppose.

00:22:26.593 --> 00:22:29.993
I decided to play with the dog so we can share a nice time together.

00:22:30.573 --> 00:22:33.333
So Miss Fortune takes a ball and throws it at the puppy.

00:22:34.153 --> 00:22:42.553
She throws and actually misses the puppy and the ball bounces off of the tree and hits Miss Fortune directly in the face, knocking her directly in the dirt.

00:22:42.693 --> 00:22:43.493
Oh my God.

00:22:44.553 --> 00:22:48.553
Unceremoniously, she gets up and is like, damn, that's crazy.

00:22:48.573 --> 00:22:53.013
And as she does, a branch from the tree falls and kills the puppy.

00:22:53.553 --> 00:22:54.313
Oh my God.

00:22:54.333 --> 00:22:55.653
She's got her father's arm.

00:22:55.913 --> 00:22:56.713
Oh my God.

00:22:57.813 --> 00:22:58.893
Jesus Christ.

00:22:59.633 --> 00:23:02.053
Miss Fortune is beside herself distraught.

00:23:02.073 --> 00:23:07.893
She cries and she's like, the puppy is broken and I'm broken and there's something wrong with me and life isn't fair.

00:23:08.033 --> 00:23:09.733
Oh, the puppy's way more than broken.

00:23:10.313 --> 00:23:10.753
Girl.

00:23:11.893 --> 00:23:12.233
Mr.

00:23:12.253 --> 00:23:17.193
Voice says, well, sometimes life isn't fair, but he's gonna be there for her.

00:23:18.273 --> 00:23:24.153
Sadly, the puppy is gonna miss the party now, so we should tell the puppy's owner, George, about the puppy dying.

00:23:24.753 --> 00:23:26.173
But first, glitter him.

00:23:26.833 --> 00:23:28.873
Well, Miss Fortune does take a moment.

00:23:28.893 --> 00:23:30.313
She's like, you're right.

00:23:30.333 --> 00:23:31.513
That's the right thing to do.

00:23:32.293 --> 00:23:34.073
And then she throws glitter on the dog.

00:23:34.093 --> 00:23:35.713
Hell yeah.

00:23:36.413 --> 00:23:39.333
She takes the dog's party hat as a symbol of their friendship.

00:23:39.773 --> 00:23:43.693
And then she steps in dog shit, looks down, and throws up on her feet.

00:23:43.933 --> 00:23:45.573
And throws up on it.

00:23:47.353 --> 00:23:49.133
I love her so fucking much.

00:23:49.573 --> 00:23:52.233
She is just a walking mess.

00:23:52.633 --> 00:23:55.273
Like so many little girls out there.

00:23:55.293 --> 00:23:56.593
Just constant peril.

00:23:56.633 --> 00:23:58.353
She is a disaster and I love her.

00:23:59.193 --> 00:24:05.893
Miss Fortune makes her way down to the end of a pier where she is picked up by a pack of crows and taken into the sky.

00:24:06.093 --> 00:24:06.753
Geez.

00:24:06.973 --> 00:24:09.713
She screams and decides, I'm gonna get out of this.

00:24:10.453 --> 00:24:14.873
And she throws glitter in the bird's eyes, which confuses them.

00:24:15.333 --> 00:24:21.013
They let go and she starts to fall, and fall, and fall, and fall, and fall.

00:24:21.093 --> 00:24:22.933
How high up do these fucking birds get?

00:24:23.173 --> 00:24:26.173
I don't know, because Miss Fortune says this is taking a really long time.

00:24:26.253 --> 00:24:27.953
I've been falling for 30 minutes.

00:24:28.013 --> 00:24:29.653
We didn't even go that high up.

00:24:30.553 --> 00:24:33.173
Like she fucking roasts the birds, and was like, this was stupid.

00:24:34.093 --> 00:24:35.633
A white bird flies by her.

00:24:36.013 --> 00:24:43.973
It's wearing sunglasses, several stacked gold chains for some fucking reason, and is shaped like a hand flipping the middle finger.

00:24:44.813 --> 00:24:47.073
Miss Fortune goes, ah, that was a rude bird.

00:24:47.093 --> 00:24:49.053
He flipped her the bird.

00:24:51.113 --> 00:24:54.393
Somewhat gracefully, Miss Fortune lands back on the dock.

00:24:54.833 --> 00:24:57.573
She says, why didn't I break my legs and die?

00:24:58.373 --> 00:24:58.713
Mr.

00:24:58.733 --> 00:25:01.473
Voice tells her she must be very good at falling.

00:25:02.093 --> 00:25:03.913
She likes this and says, well, thank you.

00:25:05.333 --> 00:25:05.753
Mr.

00:25:05.773 --> 00:25:10.773
Voice and Miss Fortune talk to each other about the puppy and how they'll tell George the owner that the dog died.

00:25:11.173 --> 00:25:15.513
Miss Fortune resolves to do the brave thing and tell George the truth about his dog dying.

00:25:16.093 --> 00:25:16.453
Mr.

00:25:16.473 --> 00:25:18.273
Voice appreciates this decision.

00:25:19.193 --> 00:25:23.113
Down the pier, Miss Fortune sees a fish that jumped out of the water onto the dock.

00:25:23.813 --> 00:25:28.293
Miss Fortune names him Rodrigo and wonders aloud if he likes sushi.

00:25:28.313 --> 00:25:31.053
I bet he does not like sushi.

00:25:31.133 --> 00:25:36.053
Well, she comes to the conclusion that sushi is just kind of tiny pieces of Rodrigo.

00:25:37.893 --> 00:25:39.073
That's why she's curious.

00:25:39.073 --> 00:25:40.293
He'd be the sushi.

00:25:41.853 --> 00:25:43.793
Miss Fortune makes her way to George's house.

00:25:44.253 --> 00:25:45.653
She knocks, but no one answers.

00:25:46.233 --> 00:25:52.093
Miss Fortune lets herself in and immediately, there is a dead fish floating in a fish tank, just belly up.

00:25:52.393 --> 00:25:53.113
Rodrigo.

00:25:53.533 --> 00:25:54.273
It's not Rodrigo.

00:25:55.453 --> 00:25:57.793
Rodrigo's just loose in her bag right now.

00:25:59.133 --> 00:26:03.253
Miss Fortune says that once she saw a man floating like that dead fish in the lake.

00:26:03.373 --> 00:26:04.053
Oh my God.

00:26:04.413 --> 00:26:05.593
Which is so horrific.

00:26:06.173 --> 00:26:07.413
Of course she did though.

00:26:07.913 --> 00:26:10.533
There's a painting of a man and a young boy on the wall.

00:26:10.913 --> 00:26:12.273
They look like father and son.

00:26:13.193 --> 00:26:17.273
Miss Fortune looks up and says she wishes she had a picture of her with her parents like this.

00:26:18.253 --> 00:26:22.773
As she does, a translucent figure of the same boy runs past the window.

00:26:23.673 --> 00:26:26.413
Miss Fortune saw him, but doesn't look too far into it.

00:26:26.833 --> 00:26:27.973
She just says, hello?

00:26:27.993 --> 00:26:29.513
Oh, that was nothing.

00:26:30.853 --> 00:26:36.033
Further in the house, Miss Fortune enters a room and only sees feet dangling from the ceiling.

00:26:36.593 --> 00:26:36.933
Mr.

00:26:36.953 --> 00:26:40.213
Voice tells Miss Fortune, oh dear, George has hung himself.

00:26:40.553 --> 00:26:41.733
Oh, just straight up says it.

00:26:42.873 --> 00:26:44.693
Miss Fortune asks, like a pinata?

00:26:44.893 --> 00:26:47.453
Should I hit him like a pinata?

00:26:47.473 --> 00:26:48.433
Poke it with a stick.

00:26:48.753 --> 00:26:49.093
Mr.

00:26:49.113 --> 00:26:54.033
Voice is immediately uncomfortable and tells Miss Fortune they should leave because the man has died.

00:26:54.733 --> 00:26:56.233
Please don't hit him like a pinata.

00:26:56.273 --> 00:26:56.613
Right.

00:26:57.033 --> 00:27:00.593
Miss Fortune tells George, now that you're dead, your puppy is gone.

00:27:01.053 --> 00:27:01.913
I liked the puppy.

00:27:02.773 --> 00:27:06.933
She throws glitter at the corpse and says, happiness to George the pinata.

00:27:06.953 --> 00:27:12.693
The person that's gonna come around investigating all this shit is gonna be so confused.

00:27:12.713 --> 00:27:14.533
We have an art teacher murderer.

00:27:14.553 --> 00:27:18.793
You're like a serial killer whose little MO is they spray glitter everywhere.

00:27:19.633 --> 00:27:20.733
Honestly, slay.

00:27:22.813 --> 00:27:24.433
It ruins all of the crime scene.

00:27:25.553 --> 00:27:26.913
No one wants to deal with it.

00:27:26.933 --> 00:27:28.713
All the cops are like, we're not going to that site.

00:27:28.733 --> 00:27:30.313
There's glitter everywhere.

00:27:30.493 --> 00:27:32.433
Send me to the blood and sludge crime.

00:27:32.453 --> 00:27:32.813
Right.

00:27:33.813 --> 00:27:34.193
Mr.

00:27:34.213 --> 00:27:38.913
Voice leads Miss Fortune into the woods where he warns her that all foxes are evil.

00:27:38.993 --> 00:27:40.193
So keep your eyes open.

00:27:41.133 --> 00:27:43.773
Miss Fortune accepts this and wanders deeper into the forest.

00:27:44.393 --> 00:27:50.413
She sees a straw doll with a small note that says, everything begins with the song of a jackdaw.

00:27:51.393 --> 00:27:52.873
She pockets it and Mr.

00:27:52.893 --> 00:27:54.353
Voice asks her what she has.

00:27:55.253 --> 00:27:56.833
She chooses to lie to Mr.

00:27:56.853 --> 00:27:58.713
Voice and says she has nothing.

00:27:59.453 --> 00:27:59.773
Oh.

00:28:00.093 --> 00:28:01.933
Miss Fortune keeps going and sees a fox.

00:28:02.353 --> 00:28:06.413
She says she recognizes him as Benjamin, the fox she has a crush on.

00:28:06.433 --> 00:28:06.693
Right.

00:28:07.253 --> 00:28:12.433
Benjamin is painting a red circle in the dirt with rune shapes inside and two lit candles.

00:28:12.733 --> 00:28:13.613
It looks like a ritual.

00:28:14.613 --> 00:28:14.773
Mr.

00:28:14.793 --> 00:28:17.313
Voice tells her to attack Benjamin before he kills her.

00:28:17.853 --> 00:28:21.413
But Miss Fortune says, no, that's a nice fox.

00:28:22.293 --> 00:28:24.313
As she goes up to him, he runs away.

00:28:24.873 --> 00:28:25.213
Mr.

00:28:25.233 --> 00:28:27.253
Voice says, oh, we are safe now.

00:28:28.553 --> 00:28:28.873
Mr.

00:28:28.893 --> 00:28:34.673
Voice, who is wildly relieved that the fox has run, tells Miss Fortune that they need to find a magical cave nearby.

00:28:35.293 --> 00:28:38.013
Miss Fortune says, okay, and then she giggles to herself.

00:28:39.233 --> 00:28:42.213
As they leave, Miss Fortune stands on the circle the fox was making.

00:28:42.713 --> 00:28:44.893
She says, it's pretty cool Benjamin likes to paint.

00:28:44.893 --> 00:28:46.073
Do you think he's an artist?

00:28:46.993 --> 00:28:47.333
Mr.

00:28:47.353 --> 00:28:51.593
Voice tells her to keep going, but Miss Fortune goes to finish the circle Benjamin was painting.

00:28:52.373 --> 00:28:56.253
We get a flash of the world outside the circle in a dark, deserted wasteland.

00:28:56.413 --> 00:28:58.513
It's dark, decrepit, rotting, and empty.

00:28:59.133 --> 00:29:00.673
Then it all flashes back to normal.

00:29:01.673 --> 00:29:03.493
Miss Fortune heads deeper into the woods.

00:29:04.613 --> 00:29:09.153
Miss Fortune finds this cave that they were looking for, and there's police tape at the entrance of the cave.

00:29:09.553 --> 00:29:10.553
Always a good sign.

00:29:10.673 --> 00:29:11.013
Right.

00:29:11.613 --> 00:29:11.753
Mr.

00:29:11.773 --> 00:29:13.353
Voice encourages her to explore.

00:29:13.713 --> 00:29:17.553
Miss Fortune likes the echoes of the massive caves, so she's like, all right, let's fucking do this.

00:29:18.813 --> 00:29:24.373
She starts heading into the dark of the cave, and something small and fast flies by her feet.

00:29:25.153 --> 00:29:27.933
She didn't get a good look, but we, the audience, did.

00:29:29.213 --> 00:29:32.953
And I don't think in a million years you'd guess what just ran by her feet.

00:29:33.013 --> 00:29:34.853
I was thinking a rat or scorpion.

00:29:35.673 --> 00:29:38.673
It was a hamster in a tiny hamster-sized sports car.

00:29:40.893 --> 00:29:42.533
What the fuck is this game?

00:29:42.593 --> 00:29:45.193
Give me 10 seconds, like, no, just look at me.

00:29:45.573 --> 00:29:46.553
10 seconds, okay?

00:29:47.173 --> 00:29:48.693
Oh, I'm gonna trust you on this one.

00:29:48.893 --> 00:29:52.673
Misfortune soon runs into an underground hamster strip club.

00:29:53.273 --> 00:29:54.253
It got weirder?

00:29:54.533 --> 00:29:58.933
There's a big neon sign that says, live nude hamsters, X, X, X.

00:30:01.013 --> 00:30:03.293
It's like the little fucking town in Beetlejuice.

00:30:05.513 --> 00:30:08.553
There's a uniformed bouncer outside checking IDs.

00:30:08.573 --> 00:30:09.513
Of course, there is.

00:30:09.693 --> 00:30:13.073
There's a group of hipster hamsters smoking cloves outside.

00:30:13.173 --> 00:30:15.233
Hipster hamsters drove up in their Kia.

00:30:17.653 --> 00:30:18.833
It is a soul, sir.

00:30:18.913 --> 00:30:19.693
Oh, is that what it is?

00:30:19.893 --> 00:30:20.793
It's a Kia Soul, I think.

00:30:22.273 --> 00:30:27.313
There's also one super drunk hamster barely keeming it together, just swaying outside the club.

00:30:29.413 --> 00:30:34.313
And right in front of Little Misfortune, who is easily three times the size of one of these hamsters?

00:30:34.313 --> 00:30:38.553
I was wondering if she was hamster sized or if she was still people sized.

00:30:38.573 --> 00:30:40.313
Nah, she is who she needs to be.

00:30:42.373 --> 00:30:45.353
One hamster is robbing another hamster at knife point.

00:30:45.373 --> 00:30:46.093
Knife point?

00:30:47.233 --> 00:30:47.573
Mr.

00:30:47.593 --> 00:30:54.033
Voice asks if Misfortune is going to do anything about it, gives her the opportunity, and she says yes, and she breaks up the fight.

00:30:54.713 --> 00:31:03.033
She picks up each hamster, one in each hand, and makes them kiss each other by smashing their faces together, and then they both run off.

00:31:03.993 --> 00:31:05.273
They're so confused.

00:31:05.493 --> 00:31:09.373
Misfortune sees the robber hamster drop something in the scuffle and investigates.

00:31:09.533 --> 00:31:10.033
His knife.

00:31:10.413 --> 00:31:15.913
She finds a small plastic sandwich bag with about 20 small white tablets.

00:31:17.093 --> 00:31:18.793
Oh my god, he's pushing drugs?

00:31:19.013 --> 00:31:20.993
Misfortune says, are those mints?

00:31:21.333 --> 00:31:23.573
I should try them so I can keep my breath fresh.

00:31:23.653 --> 00:31:24.853
Oh god, don't do that.

00:31:24.873 --> 00:31:26.153
I'm a little lady, you know?

00:31:26.893 --> 00:31:30.113
She keeps calling herself a little lady, which is the cutest fucking thing.

00:31:30.133 --> 00:31:30.813
That's adorable.

00:31:30.953 --> 00:31:32.733
Anyway, she houses a mystery pill.

00:31:33.033 --> 00:31:33.593
Oh god.

00:31:33.833 --> 00:31:35.953
And immediately her vision begins to blur.

00:31:36.013 --> 00:31:36.293
Yep.

00:31:36.773 --> 00:31:38.853
She says she's starting to feel real nice.

00:31:40.373 --> 00:31:41.633
And then she wights out.

00:31:42.673 --> 00:31:46.653
Oh god, don't just pick up loose pills and toss them in your mouth, everybody.

00:31:46.833 --> 00:31:50.313
Especially when you find them outside the Hamster Strip Club in the Underground.

00:31:50.573 --> 00:31:53.173
Dropped by the one that's robbing the other hamster.

00:31:54.553 --> 00:32:01.433
Misfortune goes into a dream drug sequence, where friends she's drawn come to life and fly on a big rainbow with her.

00:32:01.453 --> 00:32:04.313
Holy shit, it's like the fucking, like, elephant scene.

00:32:05.033 --> 00:32:06.373
And then the crows come.

00:32:06.393 --> 00:32:12.513
The crows picket her friends in the rainbow and envelop her in a blanket of darkness.

00:32:13.453 --> 00:32:18.713
Misfortune wakes up sometime later, face down in her own vomit in front of the Hamster Strip Club.

00:32:20.193 --> 00:32:23.313
She says, that wasn't minty refreshment at all.

00:32:24.053 --> 00:32:27.093
She hasn't eaten enough to throw up as much as she has.

00:32:27.113 --> 00:32:29.333
She's thrown up so many times already.

00:32:30.733 --> 00:32:31.093
Mr.

00:32:31.113 --> 00:32:33.693
Voice checks in on her, and she's like, I'm okay.

00:32:34.333 --> 00:32:35.693
I'm cool, I'm a little lady.

00:32:36.693 --> 00:32:40.233
Misfortune loves to party, so she goes back to investigate the Hamster Club.

00:32:40.693 --> 00:32:44.913
She goes to the Hamster Bouncer and says, excuse me, could a little lady get inside?

00:32:46.293 --> 00:32:46.633
No?

00:32:47.393 --> 00:32:50.473
Is it too small for her to fit inside anyway?

00:32:51.393 --> 00:32:52.913
There is a way to get in the Hamster Club.

00:32:53.253 --> 00:32:53.733
Really?

00:32:53.753 --> 00:32:54.173
Yeah.

00:32:57.813 --> 00:32:59.353
Misfortune talks shit to Mr.

00:32:59.373 --> 00:33:01.133
Voice before going deeper in the caves.

00:33:01.593 --> 00:33:06.433
She sees an older hamster lady complete with a pearl necklace, big glasses, and purple hair.

00:33:07.013 --> 00:33:10.173
It looks like she's been robbed, and she's missing her purse, and she's on the ground.

00:33:10.413 --> 00:33:10.853
Oh, no.

00:33:10.993 --> 00:33:14.393
Misfortune tries to help her, but she just flies off and runs back to the club.

00:33:15.193 --> 00:33:19.093
Misfortune's like, well, damn, and goes over to a ladder and escapes the underground.

00:33:20.213 --> 00:33:24.973
So this playthrough didn't have it, but when I was looking up things, I was like, could you get in the club?

00:33:25.153 --> 00:33:28.313
Yes, 100,000% you can get into the club.

00:33:28.313 --> 00:33:28.893
How?

00:33:28.893 --> 00:33:33.613
There's an alternative sequence where Misfortune can get into a dance battle at the Hamster Strip Club.

00:33:35.033 --> 00:33:36.213
Not a stripper battle.

00:33:36.233 --> 00:33:44.833
And the first stripper you see is a presumably male-presenting hamster in like a thong, and it's so fun.

00:33:45.053 --> 00:33:46.793
Didn't you say she's eight?

00:33:46.993 --> 00:33:47.293
Yes.

00:33:48.233 --> 00:33:49.413
This is problematic.

00:33:52.193 --> 00:33:53.253
You look uncomfortable.

00:33:53.273 --> 00:33:54.573
I told you there's trigger warnings.

00:33:55.153 --> 00:33:58.013
This was not what I was expecting at all.

00:33:58.353 --> 00:33:59.453
What were you expecting?

00:33:59.813 --> 00:34:01.893
I don't know, a little Nightmares clone.

00:34:02.013 --> 00:34:04.493
Okay, like, oh, a spooky girl runs into birds.

00:34:04.513 --> 00:34:04.913
Yeah.

00:34:04.933 --> 00:34:05.953
Which is happening.

00:34:07.413 --> 00:34:12.753
In addition to the Hamster Strip Club and her accidentally maybe taking some molly.

00:34:12.813 --> 00:34:14.013
Holy fuck.

00:34:14.513 --> 00:34:17.333
She needs to team up with Ness and the guys from Earthbound.

00:34:17.353 --> 00:34:18.493
They like their drugs too.

00:34:19.133 --> 00:34:21.293
Just do some fucked up kids doing drug shit.

00:34:21.313 --> 00:34:21.793
Yeah.

00:34:22.353 --> 00:34:23.033
That's terrible.

00:34:23.053 --> 00:34:23.473
I love it.

00:34:25.013 --> 00:34:30.273
Miss Fortune comes out of the cave to the underground tunnels and pipes where she sees more hamsters doing hamster shit.

00:34:31.053 --> 00:34:36.593
She has to get by them to get out of the underground, but they're blocking all the exits with all their hamster shit.

00:34:36.713 --> 00:34:38.853
And to be clear, hamster shit is crime.

00:34:38.953 --> 00:34:43.553
I was going to say, you keep saying hamster shit, but these hamsters are unlike any hamsters I've ever seen.

00:34:43.753 --> 00:34:46.713
Well, one is doing some breaking bad science shit.

00:34:47.813 --> 00:34:52.853
One is counting money, and one is patrolling with a shotgun, a hamster size shotgun.

00:34:52.873 --> 00:34:56.053
He's like, I feel the need to clarify.

00:34:56.073 --> 00:35:05.913
Miss Fortune finds a crate of acorns, inconspicuously marked squirrel speed, and uses a slingshot to distract the hamsters.

00:35:05.933 --> 00:35:06.933
Squirrel speed.

00:35:06.953 --> 00:35:11.473
Yeah, so it's like it's the shell of an acorn, but inside there's a little dime bag in there.

00:35:11.673 --> 00:35:12.353
Of speed.

00:35:12.413 --> 00:35:12.933
Of speed.

00:35:13.133 --> 00:35:15.433
Nice little eight ball for acorns.

00:35:18.013 --> 00:35:24.633
Miss Fortune manages to trigger a fire alarm, and as the hamsters leave, they give Miss Fortune the opportunity to escape.

00:35:25.553 --> 00:35:29.753
As Miss Fortune walks by the setup of the lab of the Breaking Bad Hamster, she tells Mr.

00:35:29.773 --> 00:35:33.053
Voice, her daddy had a science project like this in their basement.

00:35:33.353 --> 00:35:36.013
She doesn't know why, but her mommy was really mad about it.

00:35:37.373 --> 00:35:38.473
I can understand why.

00:35:38.753 --> 00:35:39.813
Because he was cooking meth?

00:35:39.893 --> 00:35:40.393
Yeah.

00:35:41.493 --> 00:35:42.993
Yes, I understand.

00:35:44.053 --> 00:35:46.893
Outside on the surface, the scene shows a manhole cover.

00:35:47.513 --> 00:35:49.173
We don't see Miss Fortune yet, so Mr.

00:35:49.193 --> 00:35:51.113
Voice takes the opportunity to talk to the player.

00:35:51.713 --> 00:36:01.033
He tells them, I totally get this is difficult to not know what's going on with Miss Fortune, and if she's dying or not dying, if she'll get the prize of eternal happiness, totally get it.

00:36:02.033 --> 00:36:04.973
He says he personally hopes she does get it for what it's worth.

00:36:05.553 --> 00:36:09.213
And then he clears his throat and tells the player to act normal because she's coming.

00:36:10.513 --> 00:36:13.873
Miss Fortune busts out of the manhole cover and asks, Where am I?

00:36:15.033 --> 00:36:15.373
Mr.

00:36:15.393 --> 00:36:18.213
Voice tells her she's on the way to the prize of eternal happiness.

00:36:19.033 --> 00:36:22.533
Miss Fortune walks down the sidewalk and sees a poster for a missing child.

00:36:23.293 --> 00:36:26.533
It makes her uncomfortable and she says, Maybe she should go back home.

00:36:27.153 --> 00:36:27.473
Mr.

00:36:27.493 --> 00:36:30.533
Voice assures her he can protect her, and she moves on.

00:36:31.693 --> 00:36:38.093
Just feet away from the missing child poster, Miss Fortune sees another girl around her age with the same hair as the girl in the poster.

00:36:38.753 --> 00:36:41.853
Her eyes, though, are whited out and she's almost see-through.

00:36:42.133 --> 00:36:42.713
Oh, shit.

00:36:42.753 --> 00:36:44.633
Miss Fortune looks at her and says, Hello.

00:36:44.993 --> 00:36:48.193
And as a car passes, the girl disappears.

00:36:48.653 --> 00:36:49.733
Fucking ghost kid.

00:36:50.533 --> 00:36:55.353
Adults pass Miss Fortune and they're all wearing white masks with smiles carved into them.

00:36:56.173 --> 00:36:59.393
Every adult she sees has this mask, and it's very like We Happy Few.

00:37:00.453 --> 00:37:01.813
Miss Fortune isn't fazed by this.

00:37:02.253 --> 00:37:04.533
In this world, the masks are very normal to her.

00:37:05.513 --> 00:37:09.233
She then sees Benjamin the Fox posting papers to a community cork board.

00:37:09.933 --> 00:37:14.913
His signs say variations of hide your children with drawings of a forest monster.

00:37:15.373 --> 00:37:16.713
Hide your kids, hide your wife.

00:37:17.113 --> 00:37:18.353
I mean, yeah.

00:37:19.713 --> 00:37:24.873
Miss Fortune is so excited to see Benjamin and tells him, Hey, if he ever wants to hang out, she's available.

00:37:25.873 --> 00:37:26.213
Mr.

00:37:26.233 --> 00:37:28.433
Voice scolds her saying foxes are dangerous.

00:37:29.053 --> 00:37:31.133
Stop trying to fuck the fox.

00:37:31.573 --> 00:37:37.673
Miss Fortune goes up to Benjamin and asks if he's a dangerous fox, which is a little flirty and runs off.

00:37:37.813 --> 00:37:38.973
Are you a bad boy?

00:37:39.853 --> 00:37:41.173
She's sad as he runs away.

00:37:41.193 --> 00:37:41.593
But Mr.

00:37:41.613 --> 00:37:45.453
Voice says, this is a good thing because he doesn't want anything bad to happen to her.

00:37:45.853 --> 00:37:47.413
And he fucking hates foxes.

00:37:48.653 --> 00:37:51.993
Miss Fortune carries on telling a train to slow down, you fuck.

00:37:52.493 --> 00:37:52.873
Mr.

00:37:52.893 --> 00:37:55.433
Voice tells her to watch her language, and she just replies.

00:37:58.833 --> 00:38:01.213
On the walk through town, Miss Fortune asked Mr.

00:38:01.233 --> 00:38:03.133
Voice if anyone has won the game yet.

00:38:03.853 --> 00:38:04.933
He says, yeah, of course.

00:38:05.293 --> 00:38:07.333
And they lived happily ever after.

00:38:08.393 --> 00:38:10.813
Miss Fortune says she wants to win the prize for her mommy.

00:38:11.373 --> 00:38:13.853
She just wishes she could give her mommy some happiness.

00:38:15.053 --> 00:38:19.313
Miss Fortune cuts through a park and sees a big drunk seagull sitting in a sandbox.

00:38:20.173 --> 00:38:22.653
The seagull is holding a bottle and is shaking with hiccups.

00:38:23.573 --> 00:38:26.013
Miss Fortune says the seagull looks like Kevin's dad.

00:38:27.353 --> 00:38:29.793
He used to sleep in the sandbox next to the school.

00:38:30.133 --> 00:38:33.493
He didn't have any clothes on and the police officer beat him with a stick.

00:38:34.173 --> 00:38:36.293
Oh, my God, this town is fucked.

00:38:36.293 --> 00:38:38.073
It's pretty trashy, I'm not gonna lie.

00:38:38.513 --> 00:38:39.773
Oh, my Lord.

00:38:40.213 --> 00:38:40.573
Mr.

00:38:40.593 --> 00:38:45.413
Voice tells Miss Fortune to give the seagull Rodrigo, the fish Miss Fortune picked up earlier.

00:38:46.193 --> 00:38:50.733
Miss Fortune figured that's the fair thing to do, so she throws Rodrigo the fish to the seagull.

00:38:51.553 --> 00:38:59.213
It hits him in the face, and he picks it up and eats the whole fish in one bite, leaving the bones fully intact in a skeleton.

00:38:59.913 --> 00:39:02.033
Now, the bird, he liked sushi.

00:39:04.173 --> 00:39:07.513
This breaks Miss Fortune's heart because Rodrigo was her friend.

00:39:08.213 --> 00:39:11.473
She picks up her friend's bones and says she'll bury him later.

00:39:11.493 --> 00:39:13.133
Then throws glitter on it.

00:39:14.553 --> 00:39:15.313
Fucking glitter.

00:39:16.213 --> 00:39:20.493
In the park, Miss Fortune finds another straw doll with a note, and she pockets it.

00:39:21.333 --> 00:39:22.793
Once again, she hides this from Mr.

00:39:22.813 --> 00:39:23.113
Voice.

00:39:24.013 --> 00:39:31.273
At the park entrance, Miss Fortune sees more notes from Benjamin with the warning, hide your children, and drawings of a forest monster.

00:39:32.033 --> 00:39:32.313
Mr.

00:39:32.333 --> 00:39:34.593
Voice says it's bad and should be killed with fire.

00:39:35.013 --> 00:39:36.013
Fucking hate this guy.

00:39:36.953 --> 00:39:40.613
Miss Fortune says, no, no, she sees some real artistic talent in these.

00:39:41.933 --> 00:39:42.273
Mr.

00:39:42.293 --> 00:39:47.293
Voice and Miss Fortune end up at a pet cemetery, and Miss Fortune sees more missing children posters.

00:39:48.333 --> 00:39:53.233
One shows a girl we'd seen earlier in town, and the other looks just like her Japanese friend, Hiro.

00:39:54.133 --> 00:39:56.073
Miss Fortune is sad, but Mr.

00:39:56.093 --> 00:39:57.533
Voice distracts her with a game.

00:39:57.933 --> 00:40:02.593
He tells her the prize is in the grave for the goldfish, and gets Miss Fortune a shovel.

00:40:03.193 --> 00:40:04.993
She gets ready to go grave robbing.

00:40:05.293 --> 00:40:06.573
What the shit?

00:40:06.873 --> 00:40:09.133
We left the strip club, now we're going grave robbing.

00:40:09.293 --> 00:40:10.573
Again, eight years old.

00:40:11.933 --> 00:40:22.193
Miss Fortune goes grave to grave, seeing stones for, like, the first pug to strangle a man, a beloved but departed magpie, other pets that aren't goldfish.

00:40:22.993 --> 00:40:26.253
She even sees one open grave and decides to bury Rodrigo the fish.

00:40:26.993 --> 00:40:30.693
She delivers a eulogy stating, Rodrigo smelled like a fish.

00:40:31.433 --> 00:40:32.433
I like that in a fish.

00:40:33.173 --> 00:40:33.833
He was nice.

00:40:34.553 --> 00:40:35.473
I hope he liked me.

00:40:36.093 --> 00:40:36.893
Bye, Rodrigo.

00:40:39.053 --> 00:40:42.593
After the funeral, Miss Fortune finds the grave we're looking for, and it says, Mr.

00:40:42.613 --> 00:40:42.993
Bubbles.

00:40:43.273 --> 00:40:44.193
Classic fish name.

00:40:44.893 --> 00:40:47.233
There's a small box in the grave, and Mr.

00:40:47.253 --> 00:40:51.093
Voice congratulates Miss Fortune on finding the prize of eternal happiness.

00:40:52.093 --> 00:40:59.233
Miss Fortune goes to open the box, and instead of eternal happiness, there's a note saying, I stole your eternal happiness.

00:40:59.573 --> 00:41:00.633
Signed, Benjamin.

00:41:01.773 --> 00:41:03.233
What a dick.

00:41:07.553 --> 00:41:11.913
But you know, for her, maybe being with Benjamin would be eternal happiness.

00:41:12.353 --> 00:41:12.693
Oh.

00:41:14.013 --> 00:41:14.373
Mr.

00:41:14.393 --> 00:41:17.273
Voice takes the opportunity to say, he knew the fox was trouble.

00:41:17.293 --> 00:41:18.673
He stole the prize.

00:41:19.933 --> 00:41:25.493
Miss Fortune is so sad, because she really wanted to win the prize for her mommy, and now she doesn't know what to do.

00:41:26.513 --> 00:41:26.853
Mr.

00:41:26.873 --> 00:41:29.653
Voice says, they must find the fox and get her happiness back.

00:41:30.313 --> 00:41:34.153
Miss Fortune agrees to the plan, and they head back into town to look for Benjamin.

00:41:35.273 --> 00:41:41.453
At the gates of the pet cemetery, Miss Fortune sees Benjamin, and she confronts him, saying, did you steal my eternal happiness?

00:41:41.893 --> 00:41:43.093
Not cool!

00:41:43.693 --> 00:41:45.253
And Benjamin turns to look at her.

00:41:45.833 --> 00:41:56.453
In that moment of them together, the world around Miss Fortune and Benjamin breaks away into the gray, deserted wasteland we've been seeing in flashes, where the world is dark and decrepit and rotting and empty.

00:41:57.133 --> 00:42:03.353
Just as the world shifts back into the one we know, Benjamin runs off, leaving a frightened and bewildered Miss Fortune behind.

00:42:04.793 --> 00:42:04.953
Mr.

00:42:04.973 --> 00:42:08.053
Voice tells Miss Fortune to run after him, because he stole your prize.

00:42:08.753 --> 00:42:11.513
Miss Fortune says, she's really disappointed in Benjamin.

00:42:12.673 --> 00:42:21.793
Benjamin left a small straw doll again, this one with a note saying, when unloved children in darkness search for what they have lost, for why they're in pain.

00:42:23.153 --> 00:42:23.593
When Mr.

00:42:23.613 --> 00:42:29.073
Voice asks Miss Fortune if she's found something, she straight up lies to him and says, no, you're imagining things.

00:42:29.233 --> 00:42:29.813
Again.

00:42:30.193 --> 00:42:33.033
She stays lying, and I kind of fucking love that for her.

00:42:33.053 --> 00:42:34.313
Don't trust this fucking voice.

00:42:35.113 --> 00:42:38.873
Back in the woods, Miss Fortune finds what looks like a strange gravestone.

00:42:39.393 --> 00:42:41.893
It's got red carvings and strange runes on it.

00:42:42.333 --> 00:42:43.033
She tells Mr.

00:42:43.053 --> 00:42:44.853
Voice, this isn't a normal stone.

00:42:45.433 --> 00:42:51.313
She reads a message carved onto it that says, the game of death is what feeds the shadows of the beyond.

00:42:52.333 --> 00:43:00.293
Then Miss Fortune takes a piece of the strange gravestone out for herself that has like a rune carving on it, and as she does, the message disappears.

00:43:01.273 --> 00:43:03.093
She's like, damn, that's crazy.

00:43:04.053 --> 00:43:05.233
She damn that crazy.

00:43:05.553 --> 00:43:07.113
And she pockets part of the rune.

00:43:08.093 --> 00:43:13.593
Further down, Miss Fortune finds a hole in the ground with some leaves like poorly laid over it, like a trap.

00:43:14.113 --> 00:43:15.333
What, like a punji pit?

00:43:15.713 --> 00:43:17.633
Basically, yeah.

00:43:18.113 --> 00:43:21.053
Like they have in Tony Hawk Pro Skater and the Vietnam War.

00:43:21.073 --> 00:43:21.413
Right.

00:43:23.173 --> 00:43:23.913
But anyway, Mr.

00:43:23.933 --> 00:43:25.933
Fox is like, that's got to be where the fox went.

00:43:26.133 --> 00:43:28.913
Go down there, it'll be safe and fine.

00:43:29.333 --> 00:43:30.293
His fortune figures.

00:43:30.493 --> 00:43:30.893
All right.

00:43:31.073 --> 00:43:33.053
And she falls down the hole face first.

00:43:33.133 --> 00:43:33.673
Oh, gosh.

00:43:34.153 --> 00:43:36.273
She wakes up underground and calls to Mr.

00:43:36.293 --> 00:43:37.933
Voice, but doesn't hear back from him.

00:43:38.893 --> 00:43:41.953
Down here, the ground is dirty and there's hay everywhere.

00:43:42.633 --> 00:43:47.393
She immediately finds a needle in a haystack and exclaims, she found a needle in a haystack.

00:43:47.633 --> 00:43:48.453
That quickly?

00:43:48.873 --> 00:43:50.453
She then immediately loses it.

00:43:53.373 --> 00:43:57.173
I love that she found it so fast, but then immediately lost it.

00:43:58.633 --> 00:44:01.093
She's brilliant, but she's kind of an idiot, and I love her.

00:44:01.213 --> 00:44:02.093
Oh, that's great.

00:44:02.353 --> 00:44:07.353
Next, she finds a full display for a perfume bottle called Fox Repellent.

00:44:07.893 --> 00:44:10.493
She pockets this as well and continues through the underground.

00:44:11.433 --> 00:44:14.373
Eventually, Misfortune sees Benjamin digging a hole.

00:44:14.913 --> 00:44:17.213
He walks to her and Misfortune cries out to him.

00:44:17.693 --> 00:44:22.413
He pushes past her and runs away, leaving Misfortune face down in the dirt again.

00:44:23.493 --> 00:44:25.253
The screen goes black and we hear Mr.

00:44:25.273 --> 00:44:28.073
Voice complaining about what he's gotten himself into.

00:44:28.533 --> 00:44:29.133
Oh, shit.

00:44:29.193 --> 00:44:30.513
That she's such a mess.

00:44:30.513 --> 00:44:32.553
Maybe it was a mistake choosing her for this.

00:44:32.793 --> 00:44:33.653
Oh, what the fuck?

00:44:33.853 --> 00:44:35.633
I mean, he saw her eating glitter.

00:44:35.653 --> 00:44:36.473
Who does that?

00:44:36.473 --> 00:44:37.833
It's not natural.

00:44:40.813 --> 00:44:45.373
As his rant winds down, Misfortune wakes up face down on the sidewalk in the city.

00:44:46.233 --> 00:44:47.873
She asks what's happening, and Mr.

00:44:47.893 --> 00:44:50.313
Voice pretends to be relieved he or she's okay.

00:44:51.013 --> 00:44:59.313
He tells her that Benjamin attacked her, and he told her that the fox was evil, but they still need to find the fox and take back the Eternal Happiness Prize.

00:44:59.733 --> 00:45:02.493
Misfortune decides they should find out where he lives.

00:45:03.173 --> 00:45:04.453
Thankfully, Mr.

00:45:04.473 --> 00:45:10.613
Voice did a quick Google search, and they call it a Google search, and found out that Benjamin's cousin is in the zoo.

00:45:11.133 --> 00:45:18.993
Misfortune can take the bus, go visit Benjamin's cousin at the zoo, and get Benjamin's address, and get Misfortune's Eternal Happiness back.

00:45:19.833 --> 00:45:20.553
Solid plan.

00:45:21.013 --> 00:45:22.713
Assuming that the cousin's gonna cooperate.

00:45:25.053 --> 00:45:27.433
On the way to the bus stop, Misfortune goads Mr.

00:45:27.453 --> 00:45:29.273
Voice about just being a voice in her head.

00:45:29.813 --> 00:45:35.853
He tells her, he's not just a voice, and he bends and breaks a lamp post on the street to prove his power.

00:45:36.013 --> 00:45:37.133
Oh, shit, he's God.

00:45:37.473 --> 00:45:40.813
Misfortune actually misses this entire thing because she was busy tying her shoe.

00:45:43.673 --> 00:45:44.793
That kind of annoys Mr.

00:45:44.813 --> 00:45:45.113
Voice.

00:45:46.393 --> 00:45:49.293
Back in town, Misfortune sees another missing child poster.

00:45:50.073 --> 00:45:52.033
She recognizes the girl from her class.

00:45:52.673 --> 00:45:52.973
Mr.

00:45:52.993 --> 00:45:55.533
Voice says she's probably just a runaway that will go home soon.

00:45:56.293 --> 00:45:58.293
Misfortune does find some solace in this.

00:45:59.653 --> 00:46:04.713
As they pass the liquor store, Misfortune says her mommy takes her here all the time, and it's so boring.

00:46:05.613 --> 00:46:06.313
She tells Mr.

00:46:06.333 --> 00:46:10.993
Voice that sometimes her mommy sends her to buy cigarettes while she hugs men behind the dumpster here.

00:46:11.493 --> 00:46:13.033
How does she go buy cigarettes?

00:46:13.373 --> 00:46:18.533
Are you really gonna gloss over that her mommy needs her to go away while she hugs men by a dumpster?

00:46:18.933 --> 00:46:21.573
That was just kind of par for the course with mom at this point.

00:46:21.593 --> 00:46:22.873
Well, it was the 90s, you know.

00:46:23.473 --> 00:46:25.173
They had smoking sections and Chuck E.

00:46:25.193 --> 00:46:26.113
Cheese's apparently.

00:46:26.133 --> 00:46:30.953
Honestly, at this level, mom's depravity does not surprise me.

00:46:32.113 --> 00:46:33.433
She just loves her juice, okay.

00:46:33.453 --> 00:46:33.713
Right.

00:46:34.373 --> 00:46:37.573
Misfortune looks around and sees the arcade next to the liquor store.

00:46:38.013 --> 00:46:44.833
She tells a story about getting left there overnight by her mommy and scaring the shit out of a security guard who thought she was a raccoon who broke in.

00:46:45.073 --> 00:46:46.033
Overnight!

00:46:47.173 --> 00:46:48.013
Isn't that so?

00:46:48.033 --> 00:46:52.493
Like, I know it's a dream, and I know it's literally like an episode of the OC, but what a nightmare.

00:46:52.793 --> 00:46:57.513
But still, like, this is the most negligent fucking parent I've ever heard of.

00:46:57.813 --> 00:47:01.553
He calls her a wonderful child from a not-so-wonderful family.

00:47:01.653 --> 00:47:06.233
Yeah, but still, so was Matilda, and her parents weren't this fucking bad.

00:47:06.253 --> 00:47:07.533
And she at least got powers.

00:47:07.553 --> 00:47:08.133
Yeah.

00:47:09.393 --> 00:47:10.453
This girl just gets puke.

00:47:12.413 --> 00:47:16.693
And, like, falling face down into shit, this poor girl's nose is destroyed.

00:47:16.753 --> 00:47:19.473
She gets a fucking voice in her head, visions.

00:47:19.593 --> 00:47:20.853
She is not having it.

00:47:20.873 --> 00:47:21.773
She's not okay.

00:47:21.893 --> 00:47:23.253
She's also coming down from Molly.

00:47:24.993 --> 00:47:27.013
So she's probably really sad about it, too.

00:47:27.093 --> 00:47:28.093
Oh, my God.

00:47:28.873 --> 00:47:32.693
Here in town, there's also a white mask store with the slogan, Let's Face It.

00:47:33.013 --> 00:47:35.313
Sometimes we're just too tired to smile.

00:47:35.813 --> 00:47:37.473
That's the full name of the store?

00:47:37.493 --> 00:47:38.953
That's, like, the tagline of the store.

00:47:41.173 --> 00:47:42.113
I thought Let's Face It.

00:47:42.133 --> 00:47:44.153
That was good, but then you just kept fucking going.

00:47:44.153 --> 00:47:46.713
Just a really long title for a business.

00:47:47.713 --> 00:47:50.673
There's a billboard with even more missing kid posters.

00:47:51.073 --> 00:47:52.973
Miss Fortune is scared, but Mr.

00:47:52.993 --> 00:47:55.093
Voice assures her the kids will all turn up.

00:47:55.653 --> 00:47:59.453
She accepts the assurance, but doesn't seem to genuinely believe him.

00:48:00.453 --> 00:48:04.913
At the bus stop, Miss Fortune giggles about a street called Dickens Road, which I get.

00:48:04.933 --> 00:48:05.413
That's funny.

00:48:06.493 --> 00:48:11.893
Miss Fortune sits down at the bench because her feet are too tired from walking all day, and she's a little lady.

00:48:13.093 --> 00:48:15.453
The bus comes and Miss Fortune finds herself a seat.

00:48:15.893 --> 00:48:16.613
She tells Mr.

00:48:16.633 --> 00:48:19.993
Voice that her Japanese friend, Hiro, is keeping her company for the ride.

00:48:20.913 --> 00:48:21.733
She reminds Mr.

00:48:21.753 --> 00:48:26.393
Voice that he's a ghost, and he's always saying, Kiri wa doko de suka.

00:48:27.693 --> 00:48:31.893
I looked this up, and a friend told me it means, Where is the fog?

00:48:32.273 --> 00:48:33.233
Where's the fog?

00:48:33.713 --> 00:48:34.433
The fog.

00:48:34.813 --> 00:48:37.273
Fuck, we haven't had any fog yet in the game.

00:48:37.293 --> 00:48:37.973
This is just dark.

00:48:39.213 --> 00:48:40.853
Now you're introducing weather conditions.

00:48:41.113 --> 00:48:44.493
Oh shit, this fog does not sound like it's going to be a good thing.

00:48:44.853 --> 00:48:51.333
Misfortune looks out the window and sees one cow take a massive dysentery shit on the face of another baby cow.

00:48:51.353 --> 00:48:52.673
What the fuck?

00:48:57.273 --> 00:48:59.493
We're in the South Park game now for no reason.

00:48:59.513 --> 00:49:01.873
Oh my god, this game is way stranger.

00:49:01.893 --> 00:49:05.893
Yeah, the humor I'm seeing, but like it's not humor that I was expecting.

00:49:06.113 --> 00:49:06.953
What, fart humor?

00:49:07.233 --> 00:49:11.433
Yeah, like diarrhea dumping cows on each other.

00:49:11.453 --> 00:49:13.113
This is fucking bizarre.

00:49:13.253 --> 00:49:17.773
Well, Misfortune knows that and she says unlucky things seem to happen all the time.

00:49:18.213 --> 00:49:20.753
Oh, are you OK?

00:49:20.773 --> 00:49:21.553
You seem bummed.

00:49:21.753 --> 00:49:22.853
We just have to keep going.

00:49:23.593 --> 00:49:27.013
Then the bus driver announces the zoo is the next stop.

00:49:27.473 --> 00:49:31.153
Misfortune is so excited to go inside, but she doesn't have a ticket.

00:49:31.853 --> 00:49:32.213
Mr.

00:49:32.233 --> 00:49:34.813
Voice asks if she has any ideas on how to get in for free.

00:49:35.413 --> 00:49:36.513
Misfortune tells Mr.

00:49:36.533 --> 00:49:40.373
Voice that sometimes her mommy shows her boobies to the guy at the store for free food.

00:49:40.693 --> 00:49:41.333
Oh, my God.

00:49:41.333 --> 00:49:43.933
But she doesn't have her boobies yet, so that might not work.

00:49:44.813 --> 00:49:47.033
She is eight years old.

00:49:47.033 --> 00:49:47.993
Please don't try it.

00:49:49.213 --> 00:49:55.353
Misfortune resolves to destroy property and throws Stoney through a window display to distract the ticket taker.

00:49:55.873 --> 00:49:59.353
Misfortune shatters the display, runs over to retrieve Stoney.

00:49:59.493 --> 00:50:01.213
Again, her friend, the Bloody Rock.

00:50:02.453 --> 00:50:06.973
And manages to sneak into the zoo while the ticket taker is distracted by this.

00:50:07.713 --> 00:50:09.753
Mission accomplished.

00:50:09.993 --> 00:50:12.753
Stoney was also going to have her DNA all over it.

00:50:12.873 --> 00:50:13.913
Or at least her daddy's.

00:50:14.013 --> 00:50:14.933
Oh no, you're right.

00:50:14.953 --> 00:50:15.493
It hits her.

00:50:15.513 --> 00:50:16.733
That's her blood.

00:50:17.633 --> 00:50:18.693
Ugh, what a bummer.

00:50:19.613 --> 00:50:19.973
Mr.

00:50:19.993 --> 00:50:21.813
Voice says, isn't this wonderful?

00:50:22.213 --> 00:50:24.413
We'll get to see so many caged animals.

00:50:25.253 --> 00:50:30.433
Misfortune clocks that he said caged animals, and that's kind of sadistic as fuck to say.

00:50:31.273 --> 00:50:31.953
But then Mr.

00:50:31.973 --> 00:50:34.653
Voice diverts to complimenting her sneaky sneaks.

00:50:35.353 --> 00:50:37.353
Then directs Misfortune to find the wolves.

00:50:37.693 --> 00:50:38.953
They know where Benjamin lives.

00:50:39.253 --> 00:50:40.333
That's who we need to see.

00:50:41.593 --> 00:50:43.893
On the way, Misfortune sees a few caged birds.

00:50:44.533 --> 00:50:48.133
The first one she sees is a parrot, who is a pirate wearing a bandana.

00:50:49.193 --> 00:50:51.933
She doesn't like this bird and tells it to give yourself a fuck.

00:50:53.593 --> 00:50:53.953
Mr.

00:50:53.973 --> 00:50:58.033
Voice says, oh dear, we need to get your happiness back as soon as possible.

00:50:58.573 --> 00:51:00.433
You are a dark child.

00:51:00.713 --> 00:51:04.693
The next caged bird is an owl with glasses, a scarf, and is reading a book.

00:51:04.993 --> 00:51:08.713
It has looked like any asshole in a coffee shop in 2012.

00:51:09.113 --> 00:51:14.253
The last of the caged birds is an old friend, the rude middle finger bird from the sky.

00:51:14.273 --> 00:51:16.093
Hell yeah.

00:51:16.233 --> 00:51:20.053
Misfortune looks at it and says, somehow I feel offended by this bird.

00:51:20.753 --> 00:51:28.913
She reads the informational sign to see what its name is, and it's called the Fucadillius, the genus Fucadillius Dischidius.

00:51:30.213 --> 00:51:31.593
Fucadillius Dischidius?

00:51:31.633 --> 00:51:33.653
Yes, that's its genus.

00:51:34.673 --> 00:51:35.013
Mr.

00:51:35.033 --> 00:51:38.793
Voice tells her not to be offended because the bird doesn't know what it's doing.

00:51:40.073 --> 00:51:41.373
At the wolf cage, Mr.

00:51:41.393 --> 00:51:43.273
Voice and Misfortune run into an issue.

00:51:43.733 --> 00:51:46.913
They have to go through an area of the zoo that is closed and under maintenance.

00:51:47.413 --> 00:51:52.033
Misfortune goes to Sneaky Sneak past the maintenance worker and immediately falls on her face.

00:51:52.953 --> 00:51:54.573
She says she's a little ninja lady.

00:51:55.573 --> 00:51:57.093
While they're right behind the worker, Mr.

00:51:57.113 --> 00:51:59.273
Voice tries to like hype her up and give her focus.

00:52:00.053 --> 00:52:00.333
Mr.

00:52:00.353 --> 00:52:03.133
Voice tells Misfortune, now wait for her to turn her back to you.

00:52:03.793 --> 00:52:08.733
And Misfortune finishes the thought by saying, and then I kill her from behind.

00:52:10.293 --> 00:52:11.393
Bewildered, Mr.

00:52:11.413 --> 00:52:12.613
Voice says, what?

00:52:12.833 --> 00:52:14.113
No.

00:52:15.313 --> 00:52:17.833
Misfortune says, that's what the ninjas do in the movies.

00:52:18.013 --> 00:52:19.473
She's seen like all of them.

00:52:20.553 --> 00:52:20.693
Mr.

00:52:20.713 --> 00:52:23.613
Voice says, no, this isn't a movie.

00:52:24.013 --> 00:52:25.853
Just when she turns around, move quickly.

00:52:26.053 --> 00:52:26.453
Right.

00:52:26.453 --> 00:52:27.673
That's all I was trying to tell you.

00:52:27.773 --> 00:52:29.353
Misfortune goes, I got it.

00:52:30.833 --> 00:52:36.753
Misfortune runs past the worker and falls flat on her face again, twice, but makes it to the other side.

00:52:37.873 --> 00:52:40.993
On her way to the wolf cage, there's another strange gravestone.

00:52:41.473 --> 00:52:45.853
It's big and glows red like the last one when the runestone is placed in the center hole.

00:52:46.633 --> 00:52:55.813
When the strange gravestone is hole again, the message lights up saying, the path to center CD is twisted by malevolent games from the beyond.

00:52:56.573 --> 00:53:00.493
Misfortune removes the runestone, and the message disappears, just like the first one.

00:53:01.413 --> 00:53:01.713
Mr.

00:53:01.733 --> 00:53:04.733
Voice tells Misfortune not to pay any attention to the silly rocks.

00:53:05.333 --> 00:53:07.253
They get to the wolf exhibit, and Mr.

00:53:07.273 --> 00:53:11.513
Voice instructs Misfortune to enter the wolf cage to get Benjamin's address.

00:53:12.453 --> 00:53:17.133
Misfortune solves some puzzles to get into the cage, and along the way finds another straw doll.

00:53:18.113 --> 00:53:23.593
This one's message says, When broken hearts are chose to receive the gift from beyond.

00:53:24.793 --> 00:53:26.253
She again hides this from Mr.

00:53:26.273 --> 00:53:26.553
Voice.

00:53:27.993 --> 00:53:30.413
In the wolf cage, Misfortune simply walks in.

00:53:30.913 --> 00:53:32.073
The wolf inspects her.

00:53:32.293 --> 00:53:34.893
It smells her, and then it simply walks out of the cage.

00:53:35.773 --> 00:53:38.033
Misfortune is so sad that she's scared off the wolf.

00:53:38.053 --> 00:53:40.313
She's like, animals fucking hate me.

00:53:40.493 --> 00:53:40.813
Mr.

00:53:40.833 --> 00:53:45.273
Voice is surprised the wolf didn't maul her and goes, Oh, that was unexpected.

00:53:45.293 --> 00:53:47.673
Well, it's not a Harambe situation there.

00:53:47.673 --> 00:53:48.153
Girl.

00:53:48.933 --> 00:53:51.353
Then he points out a note for Misfortune to grab.

00:53:51.653 --> 00:53:57.333
The note says, My evil cousin's address, Fox, with an address in open fields.

00:53:58.633 --> 00:54:00.893
Misfortune now has Benjamin's address, and Mr.

00:54:00.913 --> 00:54:03.453
Voice says that they can get the prize back for eternal happiness.

00:54:04.093 --> 00:54:10.693
He says the fastest way to Benjamin's house is to take a boat that's accessible through a local goth festival, Fantasmagoria.

00:54:11.893 --> 00:54:14.533
Misfortune loves spooky shit.

00:54:14.533 --> 00:54:17.673
Of course, she's a little goth girl, and she is so excited.

00:54:17.693 --> 00:54:21.173
She's always wanted to go to Fantasmagoria, and now she gets to go.

00:54:21.193 --> 00:54:21.233
Mr.

00:54:22.253 --> 00:54:25.333
Voice and Misfortune catch up a little on the walk to Fantasmagoria.

00:54:25.853 --> 00:54:28.233
They pass a lot of missing children posters.

00:54:29.013 --> 00:54:33.953
He asks her some questions like if she's ever lied, and she admits she lies to a friend about something.

00:54:34.313 --> 00:54:42.293
Her friend thinks Misfortune's dad picks her up after school, but really she just waits until her friend isn't looking and runs into the woods to get home.

00:54:43.273 --> 00:54:43.633
Mr.

00:54:43.653 --> 00:54:45.973
Voice says, that is so sad.

00:54:47.753 --> 00:54:51.113
On the event grounds, Misfortune is so excited for all the spooky shit.

00:54:51.333 --> 00:54:54.953
There's ghosts and clowns and all sorts of like ghouls and things.

00:54:55.933 --> 00:54:58.693
She runs off into the festival and leaves the player alone with Mr.

00:54:58.713 --> 00:54:59.053
Voice.

00:54:59.693 --> 00:54:59.973
Mr.

00:54:59.993 --> 00:55:01.713
Voice calls out to the player saying, hey you.

00:55:02.653 --> 00:55:05.553
She deserves to have a good time, so make the right decisions for her.

00:55:06.833 --> 00:55:10.293
We catch back up with Misfortune as she explores Phantasmagoria.

00:55:10.853 --> 00:55:15.413
There's a carousel or a haunted house she can ride, and stilt walkers like wandering the streets.

00:55:15.433 --> 00:55:16.153
It's really cool.

00:55:16.173 --> 00:55:16.813
That's awesome.

00:55:17.833 --> 00:55:20.173
Misfortune goes out to a jack-o'-lantern and tells Mr.

00:55:20.193 --> 00:55:22.753
Voice that the kids at school have called her a pumpkin head.

00:55:23.673 --> 00:55:25.433
He says he can see the resemblance.

00:55:25.673 --> 00:55:27.613
Honestly, you called her a pumpkin head earlier.

00:55:27.653 --> 00:55:31.553
Well, that was a literary technique.

00:55:32.573 --> 00:55:35.973
Misfortune says she doesn't know what resemblance means, but she is suspicious.

00:55:36.933 --> 00:55:42.373
Misfortune says, hey, there's free candy, but it's really just spilled candy that's on the ground of a festival.

00:55:43.073 --> 00:55:43.393
Mr.

00:55:43.413 --> 00:55:47.713
Voice tells her not to eat it, but it's free candy, so of course she does.

00:55:47.973 --> 00:55:49.913
Right, she's already eaten loose pills.

00:55:50.273 --> 00:55:54.053
Her stomach is immediately in pain, and then she has a vision.

00:55:54.333 --> 00:55:55.773
She learns nothing.

00:55:55.933 --> 00:55:56.693
No, she's eight.

00:55:57.633 --> 00:56:02.533
She's in the basement alone and is pulled up by a giant fox arm to dinner with her mommy and her daddy.

00:56:02.913 --> 00:56:06.953
Her daddy is a straw man that looks like the straw dolls she's been finding all over town.

00:56:07.393 --> 00:56:11.613
The straw daddy sets on fire, and she sadly watches her heart beat.

00:56:12.793 --> 00:56:17.193
The vision ends, and Miss Fortune is pale and swaying and looks visibly nauseous.

00:56:18.173 --> 00:56:18.513
Mr.

00:56:18.533 --> 00:56:27.013
Voice tells her he told her not to eat it, but Miss Fortune throws glitter and says, happiness to Miss Fortune, and now all is better.

00:56:27.033 --> 00:56:36.513
To cheer herself up after this, I had Miss Fortune ride the horror house, which is like a scary haunted house dark ride where aliens and the swamp thing pop out and scare her.

00:56:36.933 --> 00:56:40.773
She is scared, but she does it, and after she gets out, she says she's feeling dizzy.

00:56:42.153 --> 00:56:42.433
Mr.

00:56:42.453 --> 00:56:45.293
Voice talks her through it and tells her they need to go find a boat.

00:56:45.913 --> 00:56:50.073
Miss Fortune heads through the event and sees her friend, Hero, the Japanese ghost boy.

00:56:50.713 --> 00:56:53.353
She calls to him, but he vanishes into thin air.

00:56:54.453 --> 00:56:56.633
Miss Fortune moves on to the games area of the event.

00:56:57.073 --> 00:57:01.493
There's a shooting game that uses real bullets and a minigun for some fucking reason.

00:57:01.513 --> 00:57:02.693
A minigun?

00:57:02.873 --> 00:57:09.413
Miss Fortune goes to play, and because it's a fucking minigun, it destroys the entire booth with live ammunition.

00:57:09.573 --> 00:57:10.593
Holy shit.

00:57:10.613 --> 00:57:11.833
She breaks the carnival.

00:57:12.853 --> 00:57:17.353
Then she plays Whack-A-Fox, which unfortunately looks like Benjamin, but that does make Mr.

00:57:17.373 --> 00:57:18.413
Voice very happy.

00:57:19.953 --> 00:57:23.073
Miss Fortune goes to the back of the event, where there's a small pier.

00:57:23.693 --> 00:57:27.033
At the end of the pier is a black swan boat with fairy lights through it.

00:57:27.673 --> 00:57:31.453
The boat is headed by a cloaked skeleton, the same one we saw at the game's opening.

00:57:32.253 --> 00:57:37.173
They are silent as Miss Fortune hurls a chocolate gold coin at them and boards the boat.

00:57:38.173 --> 00:57:38.553
Mr.

00:57:38.573 --> 00:57:41.453
Voice makes a joke about the boat encountering a kraken.

00:57:42.193 --> 00:57:44.653
Miss Fortune doesn't know what a kraken is, and Mr.

00:57:44.673 --> 00:57:48.113
Voice doesn't explain what it is, so begins to like seep into her psyche.

00:57:49.073 --> 00:57:53.833
Later, in the middle of the lake, Miss Fortune is singing a song dedicated to the elusive kraken.

00:57:54.473 --> 00:57:55.793
And now I will read you the lyrics.

00:57:55.813 --> 00:57:56.233
Please.

00:57:56.713 --> 00:58:00.933
Oh, kraken, if you appear in front of me, I will see you.

00:58:01.533 --> 00:58:05.813
And if I see you, I will know it is you, sweet kraken.

00:58:06.333 --> 00:58:09.073
Come up in front of me right now.

00:58:09.093 --> 00:58:11.473
That's the whole song?

00:58:11.613 --> 00:58:14.113
She stops singing and realizes it's very quiet.

00:58:15.693 --> 00:58:16.953
Then Miss Fortune asks Mr.

00:58:16.973 --> 00:58:19.053
Voice if she could pet the kraken like a doggy.

00:58:20.053 --> 00:58:22.453
Miss Fortune shifts her focus to the cloaked skeleton.

00:58:23.113 --> 00:58:27.873
She starts asking them questions, and she speaks nonstop at them while they remain completely silent.

00:58:28.593 --> 00:58:33.613
Eventually, in the middle of the lake, the cloaked figure jumps out of the boat and into the water.

00:58:33.733 --> 00:58:34.513
Oh my god.

00:58:34.673 --> 00:58:35.073
Mr.

00:58:35.093 --> 00:58:38.733
Voice says, that's what happens when little ladies ask too many questions.

00:58:39.193 --> 00:58:41.033
It makes people want to drown themselves.

00:58:41.653 --> 00:58:43.793
So now we're getting misogynistic about it.

00:58:44.173 --> 00:58:49.573
I mean, it's that, and it's also like you talk too much, and people want to unlive themselves because of it.

00:58:49.933 --> 00:58:50.993
It's very rude.

00:58:51.693 --> 00:58:53.593
Miss Fortune goes, Ah, it'll be fine.

00:58:53.613 --> 00:58:56.793
Because she might be like a grizzled old man about it.

00:58:57.513 --> 00:59:00.473
Luckily, they arrive on the shore, eager to see Benjamin the Fox.

00:59:01.273 --> 00:59:04.473
On the shore, Miss Fortune sees a ton of discarded toys.

00:59:05.113 --> 00:59:05.413
Mr.

00:59:05.433 --> 00:59:07.793
Voice tells Miss Fortune, there's something very wrong here.

00:59:08.473 --> 00:59:09.273
Something is coming.

00:59:09.513 --> 00:59:09.973
Hide!

00:59:10.993 --> 00:59:12.973
Miss Fortune is weary of this, but moves forward.

00:59:13.533 --> 00:59:17.093
Just out of reach, over a fallen tree, is Hiro, her Japanese friend.

00:59:17.913 --> 00:59:19.813
He looks at her, then vanishes.

00:59:20.613 --> 00:59:22.913
Miss Fortune leaves the shore and heads into the woods.

00:59:23.533 --> 00:59:26.913
In the woods, she sees a collection of big rocks and pulls out Stoney.

00:59:27.373 --> 00:59:29.733
She tells him, look, Stoney, this is your family.

00:59:31.913 --> 00:59:32.793
I love her for that.

00:59:32.813 --> 00:59:36.733
I was just thinking, she's probably like really comfortable in the woods since that's her way home every day.

00:59:36.733 --> 00:59:37.313
Yeah, right.

00:59:38.053 --> 00:59:42.513
Miss Fortune heads in deeper and eventually falls and gets her little foot stuck in a tree root.

00:59:42.573 --> 00:59:43.133
Never mind.

00:59:45.053 --> 00:59:48.893
As she tries to get free, the world shifts again to the deserted gray landscape.

00:59:49.513 --> 00:59:51.193
The lush forest around her is dead.

00:59:51.693 --> 00:59:54.773
She looks over and sees a massive clawed hand reach out at her.

00:59:55.413 --> 00:59:56.773
She says, it's the monster.

00:59:56.793 --> 00:59:56.833
Mr.

00:59:57.433 --> 00:59:58.413
Voice, can you see it?

00:59:58.993 --> 01:00:00.033
He doesn't respond to her.

01:00:01.033 --> 01:00:04.473
Miss Fortune gets free and sprints down through the woods away from the monster.

01:00:05.233 --> 01:00:05.613
Mr.

01:00:05.633 --> 01:00:10.313
Voice returns, asking if she's running away from the fox, because he's pretty sure it was the fox.

01:00:11.253 --> 01:00:14.713
Miss Fortune insists that it's the monster and then falls flat on her face.

01:00:15.573 --> 01:00:18.713
She thankfully though, fell right in front of Benjamin.

01:00:19.853 --> 01:00:23.953
Benjamin had binoculars and was investigating something when Miss Fortune fell at his feet.

01:00:24.793 --> 01:00:25.133
Mr.

01:00:25.153 --> 01:00:28.853
Voice tells Miss Fortune not to move, but she gets up with Benjamin's help.

01:00:29.693 --> 01:00:30.013
Mr.

01:00:30.033 --> 01:00:33.613
Voice tells Benjamin not to touch her, and Miss Fortune scolds Mr.

01:00:33.633 --> 01:00:34.253
Voice for this.

01:00:35.313 --> 01:00:37.153
Benjamin looks around and sprints away.

01:00:37.813 --> 01:00:39.953
Miss Fortune calls after him before chasing him.

01:00:40.733 --> 01:00:44.213
So was it unclear whether Benjamin could hear the voice or not?

01:00:44.593 --> 01:00:45.273
I think he could.

01:00:45.293 --> 01:00:46.353
He's kind of like, oh, shit.

01:00:46.853 --> 01:00:47.693
What's going on here?

01:00:49.353 --> 01:00:51.293
As Miss Fortune runs at the night, Mr.

01:00:51.313 --> 01:00:52.633
Voice begs her to slow down.

01:00:52.993 --> 01:00:54.253
He doesn't want her to get hurt.

01:00:54.773 --> 01:00:57.893
She eventually runs into another runestone with a bear trap near it.

01:00:58.513 --> 01:00:58.853
Mr.

01:00:58.873 --> 01:01:02.353
Voice gives her an, I told you so, like, you're running around, there's fucking bear traps.

01:01:02.713 --> 01:01:04.433
And he warns her not to hurt herself.

01:01:05.353 --> 01:01:07.153
Also, I'm just gonna throw it out there.

01:01:07.273 --> 01:01:08.653
I think the fox is behind this.

01:01:09.873 --> 01:01:12.493
Poor Benjamin is not trusted at all.

01:01:12.633 --> 01:01:13.833
No, and like, Mr.

01:01:13.853 --> 01:01:14.853
Voice even puts a cherry on it.

01:01:14.873 --> 01:01:17.773
He goes, I don't like the fox, by the way.

01:01:17.793 --> 01:01:18.273
We know.

01:01:18.273 --> 01:01:19.073
Sir, we know.

01:01:20.033 --> 01:01:23.573
Miss Fortune looks at the bear trap and thinks about her stuffed bear, Bubsy.

01:01:24.073 --> 01:01:27.013
He lives in a world of fantasy where there are no bear traps.

01:01:27.553 --> 01:01:29.893
He's gonna be very sad to know about the bear traps.

01:01:30.233 --> 01:01:33.873
And if he would go in the woods, he would see this and not know he's dying.

01:01:34.493 --> 01:01:37.193
Now she sees Bubsy being killed by a bear trap.

01:01:37.853 --> 01:01:38.593
That's how it is.

01:01:38.633 --> 01:01:39.313
He's dead.

01:01:39.353 --> 01:01:40.513
Bubsy died.

01:01:41.573 --> 01:01:41.893
Mr.

01:01:41.913 --> 01:01:43.513
Voice asks what she's talking about.

01:01:44.313 --> 01:01:47.013
Miss Fortune says, Bubsy, I'm talking about Bubsy.

01:01:48.513 --> 01:01:54.173
Before leaving, Miss Fortune places the rune stone in the strange gravestone, and as she does, it glows red.

01:01:54.953 --> 01:02:00.253
There is a message that reads, the illumination of Prumeve will dissolve the filth of the beyond.

01:02:00.793 --> 01:02:04.193
Miss Fortune is unable to remove this rune stone, and the message doesn't go away.

01:02:04.853 --> 01:02:10.853
She then finds another straw doll, this one with a message saying, the games you enjoy, you can have them all.

01:02:12.293 --> 01:02:12.633
Mr.

01:02:12.653 --> 01:02:15.013
Voice and Miss Fortune continue on their journey through the woods.

01:02:15.773 --> 01:02:16.073
Mr.

01:02:16.093 --> 01:02:19.613
Voice asks Miss Fortune if she believes in magic, and she says no.

01:02:19.953 --> 01:02:22.133
Daddy said the only magic came from acid.

01:02:22.653 --> 01:02:23.953
What the fuck, from acid?

01:02:24.113 --> 01:02:24.413
Yeah.

01:02:24.873 --> 01:02:27.593
I was like, what, is he Mr.

01:02:27.613 --> 01:02:27.993
Dursley?

01:02:28.013 --> 01:02:29.493
Nah, he's a fucking druggy.

01:02:29.513 --> 01:02:32.673
Yeah, his Breaking Bad set pissed off Mommy.

01:02:32.693 --> 01:02:35.233
Oh, he gets his drugs from the fucking hamsters.

01:02:36.573 --> 01:02:39.813
Miss Fortune says the only acid I know is when I lick batteries.

01:02:40.613 --> 01:02:41.613
What the shit?

01:02:41.633 --> 01:02:43.493
That's not any safer, really.

01:02:43.513 --> 01:02:45.253
Don't you just want to save this little girl?

01:02:45.593 --> 01:02:48.113
Oh my goodness, honestly, with what Mr.

01:02:48.133 --> 01:02:53.033
Voice told us at the beginning, that outcome might be the best for her.

01:02:54.253 --> 01:02:54.593
Mr.

01:02:54.613 --> 01:02:56.633
Voice notices the storm clouds are coming in.

01:02:56.993 --> 01:02:59.353
Miss Fortune says she doesn't like getting her feet wet.

01:02:59.473 --> 01:03:00.693
She's a little lady, you know.

01:03:01.673 --> 01:03:04.173
They come up on a cabin and it's got to be Benjamin's cabin.

01:03:04.633 --> 01:03:04.933
Mr.

01:03:04.953 --> 01:03:08.973
Voice tells her he'll wait out here, but if she sees the fox, she should run.

01:03:09.873 --> 01:03:14.473
Miss Fortune heads inside, and as she does, she tells herself, be brave, Miss Fortune.

01:03:15.393 --> 01:03:16.813
The cabin is small and messy.

01:03:17.253 --> 01:03:21.653
Miss Fortune still has a bit of a crush on the fox and is like, oh, he's cut so much wood.

01:03:21.673 --> 01:03:24.033
He's probably so masculine and muscular.

01:03:24.053 --> 01:03:25.913
He's a real fox.

01:03:26.673 --> 01:03:29.333
She finds a VHS player, because again, it's 1993.

01:03:29.353 --> 01:03:29.793
Oh, right.

01:03:30.093 --> 01:03:31.993
And watches the tape that's already in the machine.

01:03:32.413 --> 01:03:36.673
It's of Benjamin building a tent outside and a monster coming up behind them.

01:03:37.233 --> 01:03:40.073
Miss Fortune recognizes it as the monster she's seen before.

01:03:41.133 --> 01:03:44.153
She finds Benjamin's diary, which obviously she snoops in.

01:03:44.693 --> 01:03:46.073
I don't know why you wouldn't.

01:03:46.213 --> 01:03:46.613
Right.

01:03:47.113 --> 01:03:51.853
In his diary, Benjamin tracked being asked to go to this area for a dangerous mission.

01:03:52.393 --> 01:03:55.553
He's been hunting a parasite that has had so many victims.

01:03:56.173 --> 01:03:59.733
He's been leaving dolls for the victims around town as a warning to the children.

01:04:00.453 --> 01:04:07.713
His code doesn't allow him to directly interfere with children in this reality, so he's just doing his best to do an awareness campaign.

01:04:08.333 --> 01:04:12.653
He talked about seeing the parasite, and that's the monster Benjamin saw on the tape.

01:04:13.713 --> 01:04:21.133
She reads on and sees that Benjamin saw the parasite was a demon entity called Morgo, and Morgo likes to play games.

01:04:22.273 --> 01:04:26.213
Morgo has been hunting children and taking them away, and Benjamin is here to stop it.

01:04:27.033 --> 01:04:30.053
Morgo has been going after a girl named Misfortune.

01:04:31.013 --> 01:04:33.813
Benjamin vows to save her, but Morgo is very scary.

01:04:34.413 --> 01:04:38.973
The drawing of Morgo that Benjamin made looks just like the monster Misfortune has been afraid of.

01:04:39.173 --> 01:04:39.773
Oh, shit.

01:04:40.973 --> 01:04:45.173
Benjamin details watching Misfortune and being weirded out that she was watching him, too.

01:04:45.993 --> 01:04:49.253
After reading this, Misfortune is like, Oh, my God, he's probably in love with me.

01:04:51.613 --> 01:04:53.553
Yes, read into it what you want to see.

01:04:53.933 --> 01:05:04.013
Benjamin also has a partial food journal where he details eating mushrooms that he found in the woods and having really bad farts, but then was like, honestly, fuck yeah, mushrooms make my stomach feel warm.

01:05:06.173 --> 01:05:07.513
That's why it's farting so much.

01:05:07.953 --> 01:05:11.533
Benjamin has watched Morgo start to talk to Misfortune earlier today.

01:05:12.173 --> 01:05:20.173
Benjamin notes that Morgo was confused by the charms of Misfortune, and after reading that, Misfortune is like, Oh, my God, I do be talking too much.

01:05:20.633 --> 01:05:25.113
The last entry is Benjamin hyping himself up to be courageous and confident today.

01:05:25.733 --> 01:05:30.953
He made himself a good breakfast tea with herbs from the woods, and he was getting a funny feeling from them.

01:05:31.573 --> 01:05:34.813
He was getting ready for something big and may have drugged himself.

01:05:35.213 --> 01:05:37.753
Jesus, so much drugs in this game.

01:05:37.773 --> 01:05:38.313
Drug use.

01:05:39.713 --> 01:05:42.753
Misfortune put his diary back and snoops around more in the cabin.

01:05:43.153 --> 01:05:46.913
She sees the cooled cup of tea on his table and figured, she'll have a little bit.

01:05:47.733 --> 01:05:51.093
Oh, God, this girl's going to drug herself again.

01:05:51.113 --> 01:05:53.433
This is not the first time today this has happened.

01:05:53.433 --> 01:05:55.133
Holy shit.

01:05:55.713 --> 01:05:58.773
She romantically says, this must be Benjamin's blend.

01:05:59.393 --> 01:06:02.393
She sips it and says, it tastes like his fluffy paws.

01:06:02.413 --> 01:06:05.053
Yeah, it tastes like dirt.

01:06:05.433 --> 01:06:08.833
Then the music slows down and Miss Fortune's vision begins to blur.

01:06:10.173 --> 01:06:14.753
She says, I feel weird before slipping into a catatonic hallucinatory state.

01:06:14.893 --> 01:06:16.413
You know when the last time we saw this happen?

01:06:16.533 --> 01:06:17.653
Like, not that long ago.

01:06:18.013 --> 01:06:18.853
Leisure Suit Larry.

01:06:19.053 --> 01:06:20.113
Shut the fuck up.

01:06:20.133 --> 01:06:26.073
I thought you were going to be like, at the hamster ship club, but nah, it's worse and more depraved.

01:06:27.913 --> 01:06:30.793
Miss Fortune sees herself on a lakeside picnic with Benjamin.

01:06:31.233 --> 01:06:34.093
They sit on a blanket and drink juice and eat sandwiches.

01:06:34.613 --> 01:06:38.353
There are hearts in both of their eyes as they fall in love over PB&Js.

01:06:39.073 --> 01:06:46.353
They begin to hold hands and fly through the sky, and when they are attacked by crows, the crows pick at their hands and they are separated.

01:06:47.433 --> 01:06:50.453
Miss Fortune comes to Lucidity in a puddle of her own vomit.

01:06:50.753 --> 01:06:51.533
Go figure.

01:06:52.293 --> 01:06:54.493
She's confused and scared, but she shakes it off.

01:06:54.933 --> 01:06:57.953
Benjamin enters the cabin through a secret staircase on the floorboards.

01:06:58.773 --> 01:07:02.533
Miss Fortune offers to share the Eternal Happiness Prize if he just gives it back.

01:07:03.313 --> 01:07:07.993
A thunder clap booms through the cabin, and Benjamin goes to run back and forth in the cabin.

01:07:08.653 --> 01:07:11.013
Miss Fortune asks if Benjamin is afraid of thunder.

01:07:11.613 --> 01:07:14.853
Benjamin grabs his diary and points to the drawing he made of Morggo.

01:07:15.413 --> 01:07:18.613
Morggo is here, and Benjamin has to be courageous and confident.

01:07:20.053 --> 01:07:20.373
Mr.

01:07:20.393 --> 01:07:23.453
Voice calls out, saying, You can't hide the children.

01:07:24.233 --> 01:07:26.513
Benjamin is worried and runs down the secret stairs.

01:07:27.193 --> 01:07:32.353
Miss Fortune follows him under the guise of Benjamin rescuing her, as if she was a girl in trouble.

01:07:33.193 --> 01:07:35.293
She's really over-romanticizing this assault.

01:07:35.513 --> 01:07:36.573
Oh, the entire time.

01:07:37.053 --> 01:07:40.833
Miss Fortune tumbles down the staircase and lands directly on her face.

01:07:41.653 --> 01:07:43.073
The stairs lead into a basement.

01:07:43.673 --> 01:07:48.453
Behind a painting in the basement is a small secret passage leading into another room.

01:07:49.153 --> 01:07:56.113
Miss Fortune has no other choice, so she climbs a stool and jumps to throw herself through the passage, but she kind of gets stuck in the middle.

01:07:56.833 --> 01:08:02.093
She's limp on the top and the bottom half of her body as she like flops to push through the hole in the wall.

01:08:02.953 --> 01:08:08.033
As she does, she gets nervous, and she starts farting up a storm.

01:08:09.933 --> 01:08:13.933
She goes, toot, toot, toot, and then she goes, shh, little butt crack.

01:08:13.933 --> 01:08:14.693
Be quiet.

01:08:14.713 --> 01:08:15.813
This is a ninja mission.

01:08:15.933 --> 01:08:17.393
Little butt crack.

01:08:17.813 --> 01:08:21.493
The farts come out as small green clouds, and it's the most darling shit.

01:08:22.733 --> 01:08:24.373
This is Natalia's favorite part of the game.

01:08:26.573 --> 01:08:30.893
Deeper in Benjamin's secret room, Miss Fortune finds tunnels leading out of the woods.

01:08:31.573 --> 01:08:38.853
As she leaves, she gives herself some affirmations like, hell yeah, I get up, I keep going, I am little lady Miss Fortune.

01:08:39.813 --> 01:08:42.773
Emerging from the tunnel, Miss Fortune finds a baby deer.

01:08:43.373 --> 01:08:45.673
She pats it on the head and is so excited to see it.

01:08:46.493 --> 01:08:49.773
On the route she's on, she sees Benjamin's bag and wonders if he's in trouble.

01:08:50.793 --> 01:08:50.953
Mr.

01:08:50.973 --> 01:08:53.633
Voice returns and tells her he is very disappointed in her.

01:08:54.353 --> 01:08:55.453
Miss Fortune tells Mr.

01:08:55.473 --> 01:09:03.453
Voice to stop playing games, that he was lying to her and that's very sucky, that you're the one taking the children and that the eternal happiness is a lie.

01:09:04.353 --> 01:09:04.693
Mr.

01:09:04.713 --> 01:09:09.613
Voice says, No, we're playing the game.

01:09:10.493 --> 01:09:12.513
Miss Fortune says, you can't make me.

01:09:13.273 --> 01:09:13.613
Mr.

01:09:13.633 --> 01:09:15.193
Voice says, oh yes I can.

01:09:15.433 --> 01:09:20.353
And he sends crows down to trip her, and Miss Fortune lands on her fucking face a fucking gun.

01:09:20.673 --> 01:09:23.353
He was sending the crows the entire time, wasn't he?

01:09:25.013 --> 01:09:26.553
Oh, this morgo motherfucker.

01:09:26.773 --> 01:09:30.473
She is annoyed and she says she doesn't even want eternal happiness anymore.

01:09:30.493 --> 01:09:31.953
This angers Mr.

01:09:31.973 --> 01:09:33.753
Voice and he says he'll see her at home.

01:09:35.273 --> 01:09:39.393
Miss Fortune calls him a freaky monster, and she starts going through Benjamin's bag.

01:09:39.953 --> 01:09:41.493
She finds another straw doll.

01:09:41.953 --> 01:09:45.853
This one says, at the end of the road, you realize you already signed the deal.

01:09:46.873 --> 01:09:49.013
That's foreboding as shit, just straight up.

01:09:49.673 --> 01:09:57.873
She finds a study guide made for the students of the University of Saint-Surdiste technology on exterminating parasitic beings from the beyond.

01:09:58.753 --> 01:09:59.133
Right.

01:09:59.733 --> 01:10:02.913
She finds pages on morgo, the parasite Benjamin was studying.

01:10:03.693 --> 01:10:08.173
The notes call out that morgo seemed friendly, but lures victims to play dangerous games.

01:10:08.853 --> 01:10:13.273
Large flocks of crows will appear near the parasite and act as the eyes of morgo.

01:10:13.833 --> 01:10:19.113
The book says the protector must warn the victim about the parasite with dolls, writing, paint, etc.

01:10:19.773 --> 01:10:22.033
Morgo says, Oh my God, I love to paint.

01:10:22.493 --> 01:10:23.773
We should paint sometime.

01:10:23.913 --> 01:10:24.733
Oh my God.

01:10:25.393 --> 01:10:28.653
There's one final section about defeating morgo, but it's torn.

01:10:29.093 --> 01:10:31.973
Miss Fortune sprinkles glitter on all of this before she jogs on.

01:10:33.813 --> 01:10:37.593
Benjamin comes out of hiding, goes to his bag after Miss Fortune is far out of sight.

01:10:38.453 --> 01:10:40.813
Alone, Miss Fortune heads to the train to go home.

01:10:41.613 --> 01:10:46.013
On the train station board, there's a drawing of morgo with the message, Beware.

01:10:46.753 --> 01:10:52.473
Miss Fortune takes some time in solace, knowing that that is Benjamin trying to warn her.

01:10:53.113 --> 01:10:54.673
And she fucking loves Benjamin.

01:10:54.813 --> 01:10:55.413
Oh shit.

01:10:55.793 --> 01:10:59.193
Miss Fortune waits for the train, and while she does, she decides to talk to herself.

01:10:59.753 --> 01:11:06.873
She envisions another version of her dressed in a Renfair dress, and she pops up on the bench and asks how Miss Fortune's day was.

01:11:07.993 --> 01:11:09.513
Miss Fortune recounts her day with Mr.

01:11:09.533 --> 01:11:10.533
Voice and Benjamin.

01:11:11.273 --> 01:11:13.853
She concludes saying she doesn't like being alone.

01:11:14.893 --> 01:11:19.193
Renfair Miss Fortune tells her, You go, girl, as real Miss Fortune gets on the train.

01:11:19.613 --> 01:11:24.013
Miss Fortune sits alone on the train and works on her coloring book for a bit before getting bored.

01:11:24.853 --> 01:11:28.073
In a flash, she sees her friend, Hiro, across the seat from her.

01:11:28.833 --> 01:11:31.073
She says, It's such a coincidence they're on the same train.

01:11:31.513 --> 01:11:33.093
She had a fight with The Voice in her head.

01:11:33.493 --> 01:11:34.593
Although it's probably not a voice.

01:11:35.173 --> 01:11:36.193
I think it's a monster.

01:11:37.753 --> 01:11:40.393
She asks Hiro if he's ever heard voices in his head.

01:11:41.153 --> 01:11:45.393
Lightning flashes, and the windows of the fucking train are fogged with the message.

01:11:45.653 --> 01:11:49.553
Be aware of the consequences written like in the fog on the window.

01:11:49.993 --> 01:11:50.793
In English this time?

01:11:50.813 --> 01:11:51.133
Yeah.

01:11:52.633 --> 01:11:57.773
Hiro repeats the phrase, Kiri wa doko desu ka to Miss Fortune.

01:11:58.233 --> 01:12:03.153
She asks him what it means, and then Morgo's arm reaches through the train and picks up Hiro.

01:12:03.373 --> 01:12:04.073
Oh, shit.

01:12:04.193 --> 01:12:06.213
He screams, Tatsukete!

01:12:06.393 --> 01:12:07.673
Which means, help me.

01:12:08.753 --> 01:12:12.473
Morgo peels Hiro away and leaves Miss Fortune all alone again.

01:12:12.933 --> 01:12:16.173
And as Hiro disappears, the fog on the windows disappear too.

01:12:17.093 --> 01:12:19.293
The train pulls up to Miss Fortune's home station.

01:12:19.913 --> 01:12:22.133
She says she hopes to get to see Hiro again.

01:12:22.713 --> 01:12:24.453
She's scared to walk all the way home alone.

01:12:25.393 --> 01:12:27.693
There's signs from Benjamin that say, hide your children!

01:12:27.713 --> 01:12:30.773
And it just kind of makes her sadder because it makes her think of him.

01:12:31.833 --> 01:12:37.733
Miss Fortune walks a little further, and comes up on four young adults, all with white smiley face masks talking.

01:12:38.293 --> 01:12:40.893
Miss Fortune tries to get their attention, but they ignore her.

01:12:41.253 --> 01:12:45.533
She gets mad and says, well, if that's the way you treat little ladies, give yourself a fuck!

01:12:47.653 --> 01:12:49.353
I love when kids don't know how to curse.

01:12:49.373 --> 01:12:53.053
Yeah, and they just kind of put things in weird positions, and you're like, yeah, man, go for it.

01:12:53.073 --> 01:12:53.313
Sure.

01:12:54.133 --> 01:12:57.973
Miss Fortune finally makes it back to her house, where she notices daddy's car is missing.

01:12:58.873 --> 01:13:01.933
The house lights are glowing red, which Miss Fortune says she likes.

01:13:02.413 --> 01:13:03.893
She doesn't think it's scary at all.

01:13:04.973 --> 01:13:08.773
She opens the door and finds her house deserted and abandoned and decrepit.

01:13:09.313 --> 01:13:11.013
Her parents are long gone.

01:13:11.033 --> 01:13:13.833
There are cracks in the wall, and the furniture is gone.

01:13:13.993 --> 01:13:14.593
Oh shit.

01:13:15.313 --> 01:13:20.753
Miss Fortune follows the path of her house, finding nothing but windy echoes bouncing through bare walls.

01:13:21.773 --> 01:13:24.093
Miss Fortune wonders what happened here, and Mr.

01:13:24.113 --> 01:13:24.973
Voice rejoins us.

01:13:25.553 --> 01:13:30.373
He congratulates Miss Fortune on winning the game, and tells her there is no more eternal happiness for her.

01:13:31.433 --> 01:13:33.393
She says she doesn't care, but Mr.

01:13:33.413 --> 01:13:37.553
Voice reminds Miss Fortune that she needs to win that eternal happiness for her mother.

01:13:38.353 --> 01:13:41.453
She rolls her eyes and says, Fine, I do need the happiness.

01:13:41.473 --> 01:13:42.133
What do you want?

01:13:43.073 --> 01:13:43.373
Mr.

01:13:43.393 --> 01:13:45.653
Voice tells Miss Fortune, Oh, she'll love this new game.

01:13:46.293 --> 01:13:48.993
He moves her back to her bedroom, and it's just like in the morning.

01:13:49.313 --> 01:13:52.853
It's bright and sunny, and Miss Fortune is on the ground playing with her paper dolls.

01:13:53.693 --> 01:13:54.093
Mr.

01:13:54.113 --> 01:13:55.833
Voice introduces us to Miss Fortune.

01:13:56.333 --> 01:13:59.433
She is a wonderful child from a not-so-wonderful family.

01:13:59.513 --> 01:14:00.653
Don't be a time loop.

01:14:02.293 --> 01:14:04.253
Oh no, are we in a fucking time loop?

01:14:04.733 --> 01:14:09.533
She sprinkles glitter on her paper dolls, as Miss Fortune realizes that she's done this before.

01:14:10.353 --> 01:14:13.913
She says, You say something about me dying today, right?

01:14:14.053 --> 01:14:14.993
That doesn't even happen.

01:14:15.173 --> 01:14:17.313
Are we playing another game, or like, what's going on?

01:14:18.373 --> 01:14:18.693
Mr.

01:14:18.713 --> 01:14:21.413
Voice gets a little panic, but promises her eternal happiness.

01:14:21.913 --> 01:14:23.893
Miss Fortune says, No deal!

01:14:24.393 --> 01:14:26.473
She refuses to play, which angers Mr.

01:14:26.493 --> 01:14:26.813
Voice.

01:14:27.853 --> 01:14:32.793
Eventually, Miss Fortune gets really sick of his shit and tells him she'll play if it involves Benjamin.

01:14:33.433 --> 01:14:35.833
And maybe you leaving me the fuck alone.

01:14:36.553 --> 01:14:41.333
She then eventually does resolve to play the game one more time, as long as he promises to leave her alone.

01:14:43.113 --> 01:14:45.653
Miss Fortune runs down the hallway, breaking the vase again.

01:14:46.213 --> 01:14:47.213
Miss Fortune gets annoyed.

01:14:47.233 --> 01:14:49.173
She says, I'm not playing this game again.

01:14:49.893 --> 01:14:50.793
The world goes dark.

01:14:50.933 --> 01:14:54.193
Then Miss Fortune's house goes from full to decrepit and red again.

01:14:55.113 --> 01:14:55.413
Mr.

01:14:55.433 --> 01:14:57.013
Voice tells her, They'll play a different game.

01:14:57.693 --> 01:14:59.533
The house rumbles with Mr.

01:14:59.553 --> 01:15:02.833
Voice as he says, Knock, knock, who's there?

01:15:03.793 --> 01:15:05.633
Miss Fortune runs back into her bedroom.

01:15:06.013 --> 01:15:08.093
It's nearly empty except for her secret spot.

01:15:08.533 --> 01:15:12.693
She knows he won't be able to find her in there, a pillow fort and otherwise empty room.

01:15:13.173 --> 01:15:14.313
So she goes in to hide.

01:15:15.633 --> 01:15:18.333
In her secret spot, Miss Fortune hugs Stoney.

01:15:19.233 --> 01:15:19.373
Mr.

01:15:19.393 --> 01:15:21.973
Voice tells her to open the door because they have a game to play.

01:15:22.613 --> 01:15:26.233
Miss Fortune tells him she doesn't want to play with him anymore and to leave her alone.

01:15:27.313 --> 01:15:27.673
Mr.

01:15:27.693 --> 01:15:34.093
Voice breaks down the door in his morgo form and tells her that his game is the only thing keeping her alive.

01:15:35.173 --> 01:15:40.153
Miss Fortune calls bullshit and tells him she will live forever and there's nothing he can do about it.

01:15:41.473 --> 01:15:43.353
Morgo tells her to stop talking about the fox.

01:15:43.373 --> 01:15:46.153
The fox has been trying to take Miss Fortune away all fucking night.

01:15:47.253 --> 01:15:51.573
Miss Fortune is so sick of his shit and tells him to go away and she's fucking over it.

01:15:51.613 --> 01:15:53.413
She doesn't say fucking, but like basically.

01:15:53.433 --> 01:15:53.753
Right.

01:15:54.333 --> 01:15:59.793
Morgo tells her this is only the beginning and rips the blanket off the roof of the fort of the secret spot.

01:16:00.613 --> 01:16:03.173
Morgo grows from 10 to 20 feet tall.

01:16:03.753 --> 01:16:07.913
He tells her she is a plaything, a collectible he'll play with for eternity.

01:16:08.493 --> 01:16:12.033
Her room is suddenly on fire and the walls are all crackling around her.

01:16:12.993 --> 01:16:17.113
Benjamin comes through the window and Morgo tells Benjamin that Misfortune belongs to him.

01:16:17.573 --> 01:16:21.613
Benjamin waves his spear at Morgo and defeats Morgo with a well-timed attack.

01:16:22.113 --> 01:16:25.473
The world whites out as we hear Misfortune screams for Benjamin.

01:16:26.133 --> 01:16:32.453
Misfortune is now asleep face down in her bedroom floor, which is kind of nice to know that's just how she is.

01:16:32.613 --> 01:16:34.093
She's always face down.

01:16:35.193 --> 01:16:39.933
She wakes up and stands up and says, everything is back to normal, maybe?

01:16:40.753 --> 01:16:41.813
Benjamin saved me.

01:16:42.613 --> 01:16:44.073
Everything is back to where it was.

01:16:44.093 --> 01:16:44.893
It's on collar.

01:16:44.893 --> 01:16:45.793
It's not on fire.

01:16:45.913 --> 01:16:46.813
Everything is back.

01:16:47.433 --> 01:16:51.533
There's a straw doll on the floor with a note that says, Morgo is coming.

01:16:51.713 --> 01:16:52.513
Open your eyes.

01:16:52.793 --> 01:16:55.413
He's the voice in your head, driving you mad.

01:16:56.253 --> 01:16:58.453
Misfortune's like, well, shit, now I know what to call Mr.

01:16:58.473 --> 01:16:58.873
Voice.

01:16:59.833 --> 01:17:01.493
Thanks for the diagnosis, I guess.

01:17:02.333 --> 01:17:04.653
Misfortune leaves her room calling for Benjamin.

01:17:05.233 --> 01:17:08.553
She walks by the vase, which had cracked, but has been put back together.

01:17:09.513 --> 01:17:11.713
Her mommy isn't in the kitchen cooking like usual, though.

01:17:12.473 --> 01:17:14.633
Misfortune goes outside calling for her mommy.

01:17:15.713 --> 01:17:18.933
Outside by daddy's car, mommy is talking to a police officer.

01:17:19.573 --> 01:17:21.253
She's holding her arms for comfort.

01:17:21.993 --> 01:17:24.533
Misfortune says, hello, mommy?

01:17:25.513 --> 01:17:26.373
Please don't ignore me.

01:17:27.073 --> 01:17:30.933
The mommy and the officer start to look see-through, like she can't really see them.

01:17:31.933 --> 01:17:34.973
Misfortune cries and figures, this has to be a bad dream.

01:17:35.893 --> 01:17:42.413
Then she walks to the road, where she sees her body under a tarp, right in the pathway of where daddy pulled in to park the car.

01:17:43.073 --> 01:17:49.353
Fuck, no, no, fuck, oh.

01:17:53.673 --> 01:17:56.973
Fuuuck, so many things.

01:17:58.013 --> 01:18:05.413
Wow, oh, from the beginning, I was getting Six Sense vibes anyway, like seeing dead children, but she, oh my fuck.

01:18:05.833 --> 01:18:06.553
Are you sad?

01:18:06.973 --> 01:18:08.053
Yeah, I'm sad.

01:18:08.073 --> 01:18:09.793
That's fucking devastating.

01:18:09.813 --> 01:18:11.913
Well, the Discord wanted it, Tom.

01:18:15.513 --> 01:18:16.853
Oh, wow.

01:18:17.353 --> 01:18:21.473
Misfortune lays beside herself, crying, literally.

01:18:22.193 --> 01:18:23.893
Benjamin comes to her and hugs her tight.

01:18:24.293 --> 01:18:26.933
She asks, what's happening as she dries her tears?

01:18:27.553 --> 01:18:29.093
She says, we need to go?

01:18:29.993 --> 01:18:30.453
All right.

01:18:31.073 --> 01:18:35.813
As she leaves, she tells her mommy that she's going to go somewhere with Benjamin, and she's a little lady, you know?

01:18:36.293 --> 01:18:37.053
That's what I am.

01:18:38.013 --> 01:18:44.673
She tells her mommy as she goes away, I guess I was your little Misfortune for a while, but you need to find your own happiness now.

01:18:45.553 --> 01:18:46.733
I'll love you forever.

01:18:47.573 --> 01:18:50.273
Benjamin leads Misfortune to the yard where he opens a portal.

01:18:50.753 --> 01:18:57.373
The portal is blue and a, like, electric circle to another world, the world she had been seeing flashes of all day.

01:18:58.213 --> 01:19:01.353
It's a world that's dark and decrepit and rotting and empty.

01:19:01.873 --> 01:19:04.773
Benjamin and Misfortune enter and walk through the fog.

01:19:05.633 --> 01:19:07.453
They see the puppy with the party hat.

01:19:08.053 --> 01:19:12.473
Misfortune is excited to see him again, but doesn't really understand the implication of seeing him again.

01:19:13.533 --> 01:19:18.513
She sees small creatures and bugs and spooky things, like cameos from other games, like Fran Bow.

01:19:19.613 --> 01:19:21.653
Misfortune makes it to a tree with crystals.

01:19:22.393 --> 01:19:26.653
Each time Misfortune spread happiness with her glitter, one of the crystals will light up.

01:19:27.233 --> 01:19:38.633
Misfortune releases the happiness from her glitter into the tree and then rings the bell that was hanging off his scythe, which is like that stick thing that the fucking death images use.

01:19:38.633 --> 01:19:39.013
Right.

01:19:39.953 --> 01:19:44.513
The ground shakes and a bridge is formed, taking Misfortune from one cliffside to another.

01:19:45.193 --> 01:19:48.693
At the base of the opposite cliffside, Misfortune finds a straw doll.

01:19:49.373 --> 01:19:53.353
The note on this one says, All around disasters seem to disappear.

01:19:53.853 --> 01:19:56.133
Deep inside the fog, you defeat him.

01:19:57.213 --> 01:19:58.993
A door opens and Benjamin is inside.

01:19:59.773 --> 01:20:02.253
Misfortune calls after him, and then Benjamin disappears.

01:20:03.113 --> 01:20:04.953
The cloaked skeleton comes to the door.

01:20:05.673 --> 01:20:07.913
The cloaked skeleton asks who Misfortune is.

01:20:08.813 --> 01:20:12.193
They then invite Misfortune through the doors and disappears.

01:20:12.993 --> 01:20:16.073
Misfortune follows the cloaked skeleton through the doors.

01:20:16.433 --> 01:20:19.573
The doors close, sealing Misfortune into the underworld.

01:20:20.133 --> 01:20:22.893
As we hear her ask, What is this place?

01:20:24.233 --> 01:20:25.033
Oh my god.

01:20:25.293 --> 01:20:32.793
Back in open fields, the glow of the glitter happiness from the crystals travel across the sky over Misfortune's family home.

01:20:33.653 --> 01:20:35.833
The police officer leaves Misfortune's mommy.

01:20:36.413 --> 01:20:41.213
She's alone now, and the happiness from the glitter starts to land on her and in her heart.

01:20:42.013 --> 01:20:49.593
Misfortune's mommy takes off her mask and begins to smile, having finally received the happiness her daughter always wanted from her.

01:20:50.573 --> 01:20:52.493
Well, fuck me.

01:20:52.593 --> 01:20:54.353
And that's little Misfortune.

01:20:54.373 --> 01:20:54.893
So cute.

01:20:55.393 --> 01:20:56.033
Oh, my God.

01:20:56.053 --> 01:20:58.473
I was having a great time until the end there.

01:20:59.013 --> 01:21:01.713
It's not a uplifting game, for sure.

01:21:01.773 --> 01:21:09.273
Like, I was fully ignoring the bioshots that were going on throughout the story, because I was like, no, this is a story about an eight-year-old, so Mr.

01:21:09.293 --> 01:21:15.893
Bubbles is about a fucking fish, not about fucking, you know, a big daddy, and the fact that we can't trust the person talking to us.

01:21:16.253 --> 01:21:19.793
But like, damn, I should have been saying it, because this shit was dark enough.

01:21:20.633 --> 01:21:22.993
You really should have lightened it with binge drinking.

01:21:23.393 --> 01:21:24.853
Yeah, I feel you.

01:21:24.853 --> 01:21:25.733
No, it's a bummer.

01:21:25.893 --> 01:21:27.673
Everybody else was binge drinking anyway.

01:21:27.693 --> 01:21:28.713
Holy hell.

01:21:28.733 --> 01:21:30.793
Just out here hugging dudes behind the dumpster.

01:21:30.853 --> 01:21:31.613
Wow.

01:21:31.633 --> 01:21:37.613
Now, if you don't manage to find all the glitter touch points, you don't get that last scene of the mother taking her vase off.

01:21:37.773 --> 01:21:38.413
Really?

01:21:38.473 --> 01:21:39.993
You're just like, damn, that sucks.

01:21:40.073 --> 01:21:41.573
Holy shit.

01:21:41.593 --> 01:21:43.713
I got it on my first try, which I was very proud of.

01:21:43.993 --> 01:21:44.833
Well, very good, then.

01:21:45.153 --> 01:21:45.573
Yeah.

01:21:46.213 --> 01:21:47.433
Oh, I played this on the Switch.

01:21:47.873 --> 01:21:48.513
It was fun.

01:21:48.653 --> 01:21:49.433
It's very cute.

01:21:49.733 --> 01:21:50.593
It's very sad.

01:21:50.593 --> 01:21:53.413
I think I mentioned on some other stuff like, hey, I'm playing something right now.

01:21:53.933 --> 01:21:54.973
It's a fucking bummer.

01:21:56.453 --> 01:21:59.993
And I can't play for long periods of time because it makes me too fucking sad.

01:22:00.013 --> 01:22:00.453
That's right.

01:22:00.473 --> 01:22:03.053
You said that while we were like doing other things.

01:22:03.073 --> 01:22:04.313
You're just like, I want to play this game.

01:22:04.333 --> 01:22:06.473
And then you played it for like 10 minutes and you put it down like, what's wrong?

01:22:06.593 --> 01:22:08.493
It's just it's so sad.

01:22:08.513 --> 01:22:09.433
It's a bummer.

01:22:11.173 --> 01:22:12.753
No, it for sure is.

01:22:13.433 --> 01:22:14.373
But it is what it is.

01:22:14.393 --> 01:22:14.933
And it's fun.

01:22:14.953 --> 01:22:15.413
I get it.

01:22:15.613 --> 01:22:16.493
It is very funny.

01:22:16.513 --> 01:22:21.853
Like her being mad at her own little butt crack for farting is very fucking funny.

01:22:21.873 --> 01:22:27.693
Objectively, you can go to a dance off in a stripper place, run by hamsters.

01:22:27.713 --> 01:22:29.233
It's kind of fucking great.

01:22:29.473 --> 01:22:31.333
What was that shit?

01:22:31.813 --> 01:22:32.373
All right.

01:22:32.393 --> 01:22:35.433
Honestly, after a while, I was just like, I'm just on this fucking ride with you.

01:22:35.833 --> 01:22:38.053
So there's also another split that's kind of funny.

01:22:38.333 --> 01:22:44.113
When you go up to the puppy, you can either play with him or set him free and be like, hey, come with me or like, oh, let's just play and have a nice memory.

01:22:44.133 --> 01:22:46.973
I always opted to play with the puppy because I think that's cool.

01:22:47.273 --> 01:22:50.493
But if you set the puppy free, the puppy will kind of walk with you.

01:22:50.533 --> 01:22:54.493
And then by the time you get to the beach, it'll be picked up and eaten by birds.

01:22:54.693 --> 01:22:56.193
There is no saving the puppy.

01:22:56.213 --> 01:22:59.173
Not in this world, baby.

01:22:59.193 --> 01:23:01.153
It's such a bummer, but it's really cool.

01:23:01.633 --> 01:23:02.133
All right.

01:23:02.153 --> 01:23:03.233
I'm going to take your word for it.

01:23:03.253 --> 01:23:04.453
I don't know that I'm going to play that one.

01:23:04.653 --> 01:23:06.913
I think it works for people who liked Night in the Woods.

01:23:07.693 --> 01:23:08.833
Oh, you love that game.

01:23:08.853 --> 01:23:10.293
It has a similar sensibility.

01:23:10.313 --> 01:23:12.033
I can see that aligning.

01:23:12.113 --> 01:23:14.073
So if you like Night in the Woods, this could be your jam.

01:23:14.353 --> 01:23:15.313
Well, that's really great.

01:23:16.493 --> 01:23:20.773
Well, anyways, Goombas, that was another episode of The Other Castle.

01:23:21.013 --> 01:23:27.533
If this is your first time listening to us, please don't forget to like and subscribe and do all the different things you can do.

01:23:27.913 --> 01:23:31.433
If you want more of me, I just did a guest spot on the What's Your Ness?

01:23:31.453 --> 01:23:32.173
Podcast.

01:23:32.273 --> 01:23:33.273
That's right, you did.

01:23:33.293 --> 01:23:40.073
And that's a video one, so if you want to see my face moving around while I tell these stories, that's available on YouTube under What's Your Ness?

01:23:40.093 --> 01:23:40.673
Podcast.

01:23:40.813 --> 01:23:42.553
That's N-E-S-S for Ness, right?

01:23:42.553 --> 01:23:44.893
Yeah, we can link that in the drop notes too.

01:23:45.113 --> 01:23:47.933
And you can also go to our website, theothercastlepodcast.com.

01:23:47.933 --> 01:23:49.853
That's the othercastlepodcast.com.

01:23:49.993 --> 01:23:56.113
Over there, we have all sorts of links to our Discord, which, like we said, we pulled this episode directly from there.

01:23:56.173 --> 01:23:57.673
Yep, you made me do this.

01:23:59.233 --> 01:24:00.553
I love the bullying.

01:24:00.573 --> 01:24:01.493
Thanks, guys.

01:24:01.613 --> 01:24:12.333
As well as a link to our Patreon, where for $2 a month, you can help support the show, as well as get monthly access to episodes of The Other Castle Side Quests, which is our Patreon-exclusive series.

01:24:12.453 --> 01:24:14.473
That's theothercastlepodcast.com.

01:24:14.493 --> 01:24:15.853
That's not how that works.

01:24:15.973 --> 01:24:17.693
I promised I was paying attention.

01:24:17.893 --> 01:24:23.053
Anyway, so we do want to give a big shout out to our patrons, because they are the people that make this show possible.

01:24:23.413 --> 01:24:47.013
So we have Ian, Danny, Zyra, Ari, BigCatPDX, Rawr, Chase, Alfredo, Micolaj, Tomas, Amber, BerserkPanda, Quim1993, Damien, That Chonky Boy, AJ, Paul, Omar, Aaron, Cerise, Molly, Krisha, Mollymauk, Jackie, Jacob, and Ellen.

01:24:47.313 --> 01:24:48.873
Holy shit, there's a lot of you now.

01:24:48.873 --> 01:24:49.873
Thank you so much.

01:24:49.893 --> 01:24:50.713
This is fucking great.

01:24:50.733 --> 01:24:51.673
We appreciate it.

01:24:52.093 --> 01:24:56.093
And you will be having a fun patron episode from Tom coming up, but I don't want to spoil it.

01:24:56.593 --> 01:25:02.833
And if you're just in it for the long haul, we will be back in the summer with a full 10 episode season very soon.

01:25:03.133 --> 01:25:03.973
Oh my goodness.

01:25:03.993 --> 01:25:09.833
And I also just want to say that this next season, over half the episodes are Discord requests.

01:25:10.053 --> 01:25:10.933
Are they really?

01:25:10.953 --> 01:25:11.573
They are.

01:25:11.593 --> 01:25:13.173
I fucking love our Discord.

01:25:13.173 --> 01:25:13.933
I do too.

01:25:13.933 --> 01:25:14.613
Hell yeah.

01:25:14.953 --> 01:25:18.313
Although you did make me play something very sad, I love you all very dearly.

01:25:18.453 --> 01:25:19.133
Hey, you know what?

01:25:19.153 --> 01:25:23.773
You guys have made me play some games I would have never played otherwise, and I am loving the shit out of them.

01:25:23.813 --> 01:25:25.673
So I am really happy about it.

01:25:25.893 --> 01:25:28.633
The listeners of the show have very good taste, in my opinion.

01:25:28.673 --> 01:25:30.113
I think so because they listen to us.

01:25:30.173 --> 01:25:31.173
And they have pretty eyes.

01:25:32.253 --> 01:25:32.833
All of them.

01:25:33.413 --> 01:25:34.473
Every single one of you.

01:25:34.493 --> 01:25:38.053
Well, anyways Goombas, this is Tom and Andrea reminding you.

01:25:38.473 --> 01:25:40.373
Don't eat candy you found on the ground.

01:25:40.393 --> 01:25:41.433
It's probably drugs.

01:25:41.513 --> 01:25:43.333
Also don't eat drugs you found on the ground.

01:25:43.393 --> 01:25:44.573
It's definitely drugs.

01:25:45.213 --> 01:25:46.873
And don't skip the cutscenes.
