As a kid I used to think the game slowed down in the cultist maze because the evil influence was suffocating. Much later I realized it was just the system struggling to keep up.

Young ness’ sprite was depicted wearing all blue as well. Potentially showing that he was once more susceptible to evil. His pajamas are also blue and white striped.

I always named the dog "myself" so that the mom could say. "I'm giving myself a bath."<br><br>The simple things.

usually this style of beat by beat plot summary doesn't work very well for media analysis because they use the summary itself as a substitute for analysis, but this series avoids that by. actually analyzing things as it goes, adding commentary and not just literally describing what's in the game. plus the fact that it's multiple videos and not just one really long video? love to see it

I remember way back then, someone had released a font meant to replicate the EB dialog font, named "Orange Kid". It was neat, but as time went on users were noticing it wasn't quite up to snuff. And sure enough, eventually a more accurate replacement came to be. What did they call it? "Apple Kid". It's so perfect you would think they planned this.

Kinda like how the transition from the funky upbeat Runaway Five music and then instantly to the creepy unsettling Threed music. Just feels all so sudden.

For the longest time, I thought the Franklin Badge was an FDR button for some reason. I never put two and two together with the Franklin Badge's association with electricity.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSpDyf99mgQ&t=1475">24:35</a> I think that it might be an illusion to how in the Hotel, you had to sell out and claim you were interested in Happy-Happyism, taking choice away from the player. Here, you're given that choice back and don't need to hide the truth any longer, saying it right into Carpainter's face.

something cool I found on my most recent playthrough is that the hotel price in Twoson is $50. Which is the exactly the same amount of money you get from selling the mushroom on your head. Pretty neat, and maybe incentivises the player to stay a night at the hotel if they haven't already.
