Because my last video of Tesla showed him being a grumpy old man yelling at a puppy three times his size, here’s Tesla falling headfirst into a spring of clear water. He’s a very good swimmer so I wasn’t worried. My favorite part is that Percy is more confused and terrified than Tesla.
What i know so far is that this is some sort of Hidden Gem Of The DS that Many People Say Is Very Good And Such. It has a really neat art style and music and apparantly great story too!
I’ve been warned that something something the 3DS version is Perhaps Bad, and they changed A Lot including making the art style more boring and redesigning the cool butch princess to be more femme. So I think i’m gonna just play the first version first and then leave this can of worms unwormed until maybe afterwards as a bonus episode?
It has something to do with time travel! Time travel gameplay!! I do not know how they manage to make it gameplay but i am really excited cos the idea of the plot and the gameplay being intertwined is Big Neato! And it probably means lots of alternate endings!!
The protagonist is a sassy grumpman who’s comically socially oblivious but also has a Big Fuckin Heart That Is Constantly Ruining Him. “Bwah i’m a soulless mercenary who ain’t need no friends! But since i happen to have stumbled into some i WILL CHERISH THEM” I just really love the art style of this version cos wow that’s a subtle “almost smile almost frown weary man who wants to be soft but has lost hope long ago BUT his softness keeps dragging him into the feels again no matter how hard he tries to harden himself to feel less pain”. That’s the face of a man who’s super loving his friends but believes they could be torn away from him at any second and would probably blame himself for being stupid enough to get attatched, because he must have dragged them into danger. THAT IS A SELF SACRIFICING MAN WHO TRIES TO GRUMP BUT HE JUST AINT GOOD AT IT. When i can get all that from just a picture of a dude ive never seen before, you know your art is good! The remake version just looks like an actual grumpy guy and also doesnt have the cool hard line shading effects.
Anyway look at this gramp
Also look at this other gramp
Cyborg gramp
Kindest smile
And i saw one spoiler about the endgame that thankfully makes absolutely no sense out of context.
That is the extent of my knowledge
Also i am told iwillcryalot.
THE HYPE IS REAL
I adore the aesthetic of this game, from the black shading and ambiguous expressions of the sprites to the earth toned color scheme of both the characters and the menus, to the music that i do not have the vocabulary to properly yell about,and I am so excited!!
The passenger steamer SS Warrimoo was quietly knifing its way through
the waters of the mid-Pacific on its way from Vancouver to Australia.
The navigator had just finished working out a star fix and brought
Captain John DS. Phillips, the result. The Warrimoo’s position was LAT
0º 31’ N and LONG 179 30’ W. The date was 31 December 1899.
“Know what this means?” First Mate Payton broke in, “We’re only a few
miles from the intersection of the Equator and the International Date
Line”. Captain Phillips was prankish enough to take full advantage of
the opportunity for achieving the navigational freak of a lifetime.
He called his navigators to the bridge to check & double check the
ship’s position. He changed course slightly so as to bear directly on
his mark. Then he adjusted the engine speed.
The calm weather & clear night worked in his favor. At mid-night the
SS Warrimoo lay on the Equator at exactly the point where it crossed
the International Date Line! The consequences of this bizarre position
were many:
The forward part (bow) of the ship was in the Southern Hemisphere &
in the middle of summer.
The rear (stern) was in the Northern Hemisphere & in the middle of
winter.
The date in the aft part of the ship was 31 December 1899.
In the bow (forward) part it was 1 January 1900.

This ship was therefore not only in:
Two different days,
Two different months,
Two different years,
Two different seasons
But in two different centuries – all at the same time!
