  Voice of The Hero is such a bro, all the way through, he is the only who stays by your side.

  &quot;Government-issued head-friend&quot; is my new favourite term for the Voices.

  My favorite part of the game was the Epilogue, watching how the Narrator breaks upon seeing what he thought was the best result, just living a &quot;happy life&quot; over and over for eternity... in that moment, that version of himself, that eco, finally understood he made a mistake

  Everything about this game is done so well, I can go for hours about the gorgeous writing and visuals, but making this a love story between two eldritch entities going through cycles of death and birth is such a creepy but brilliant concept. I can&apos;t wait to see more from this team, even if it&apos;s gonna be hard to top this one off.

  I like that your character braces the door with the table, but the door opens the other way.<br>The princess just opens the door and kicks the table to the side.

  The thorns kiss scene is one of the single most funniest (and sincere) scenes in all of gaming.

  One of my favourite comments about this game (and Doki Doki)--not mine--was something like:<br>&quot;Doki Doki is a horror story disguised as a dating sim.<br>Slay the Princess is a dating sim disguised as a horror game.&quot;<br>THAT&apos;S SO GOOD!<br><br>(it&apos;s I think the top comment on the video &quot;Doki Doki Literature Club and Slay the Princess: The horror games staring back at you&quot; by Zuldim, in case anyone&apos;s curious. Good video, in and of itself, too! :))

  I think Cheated has a very special presence in Thorn. It&apos;s one thing to go with the Hero and Smitten, who always believed the best in her, but he goes through an arc of his own regarding his feelings about the Princess as he realizes, in his words, that she&apos;s a victim in all this too. I think there&apos;s something very tender about going against the voices in your head to free her, and that at least one is shown to be able to change and see her better nature. It goes well with the theme of the chapter, I think. The rest of the cast in your head is relatively static, so he&apos;s a nice point of contrast. Maybe it&apos;s just special because that&apos;s how my encounter with Thorn in my first playthrough of this game went, coming off the heels of Mutually Assured Destruction.<br><br>Edit: I didn&apos;t understand Oppy before, I think I do now. Holy shit, I still think he&apos;s slimy sometimes but that reads differently to me now. I think he&apos;s like the Hunted and Stubborn in that he&apos;s willing to do something unpleasant to survive. That&apos;s why he fights dirty, after all, and they all converge in The Wild in ways I found interesting on replay. I thought I understood why people liked him, but then I recently saw his moment in the Wraith. Now I really do get it. The talk before going to the cabin mattered a lot to me in getting to know the voices and gauge their mental state and the way he spoke in the woods and before meeting the princess in a certain other path I&apos;ve now seen has shifted my perspective on him significantly.<br><br>I said &quot;the cast in my head&quot; because though I knew The Narrator was different from the other Voices in my head, he was still in effect a voice in my head. It&apos;s why he&apos;s not credited separately amidst the Voices In Your Head, and I thought he was aligned moreso with self-preservation. It also helped to understand his talk about the &quot;pecking order&quot; in more depth and see the consistency of his beliefs as of where he finds himself in that order.
