While I was Way Too Internally Defiant for this to actually work on me (partially due to the fact that as soon as I read the word "villain" my inner villain kicked in immediately trying to be like "HAHAHA I AM THE SUPERIOR VILLAIN" but also because I absolutely suck at focusing, much less focusing on anything that ISN'T the text in general haaah...] I absolutely enjoy Voldritch as a character and I must admit I was slightly tempted to be like "YO YOU WANT A LAB ASSISTANT" due to... well, inner villainous dreams I suppose but like... the inner "defiant overlord" said "No." He has a very nice lab coat, I will say. I think I will also put some blame on the fact that the Katamari Damacy OST was stuck in my head and honestly that stuff is a super good repellant. Why am I reporting back in paragraphs...?
Maybe it worked a little after all. Just in a way that doesn't properly express itself. Experiment failed successfully.
EDIT: Oh, yes, experiment failed successfully indeed, I DO have something of a positive association with this game despite my mind, the entire time, screaming expletives at Dr. Voldritch for no valid reason. Mostly because he's such an interesting character... right? I hope. I will admit the hypnosis concept did make me a little anxious but in any case, Experiment Failed Successfully, Results Very Unexpected on Both Ends but otherwise A Good Run.
EDIT 2 BECAUSE I'M A FOOL: Oh, don't remember if the word villain was uttered in-game but my friend who introduced me to this told me it involved villainy but I myself was not the villain in question in the story's narrative so thereby my mind went into "ASSERT DOMINANCE... DO NOT GET HYPNOTIZED..." and, uh, maybe I was a little anxious but we can disregard that because I've learned yours is the relaxy type of hypnosis... Which I might be more receptive to at some point if it weren't for the fact that I JUST WANT TO ASSERT VILLAINOUS... UH, coolness, I guess.
