Andddddd the last one!!! Glad to be here!!! It was all a build-up for the endings, which I think are interesting~
Can't wait to check out Protoviolence!
Spoiler:
My final thought is that the puzzle feels very unnecessary most of the time, unfortunately, even with the easy difficulty/skip button. There's a slight confusion among me of why Cautionne would confront us with a gun instead of just using another death trap, and why the hesitation and sort like I understand he's supposed to be a human character in the end, but during the puzzle times he's not veryyyyyy nice, so what's the change? Is it because he is not directly interacting with us??? Hmmm~
Either way, keep it up!
Thanks for playing!
As for the stuff you mentioned (SPOILER WARNING):
- By the time Cautionne's using a gun on you, you've already out-maneuvered several of his puzzle-related death traps. For him, it'd be pointless for him to use one at the end since you've proven you can avoid the rest of the traps.
- Cautionne's hesitant with his gun because he's never handled a gun before (which he mentions in one of the endings where he kills you).
- Cautionne isn't a nice person, but he's also a child who's grappling with grief and the trauma inflicted on him throughout his life. A lot of his mean behavior earlier in the game is because he's far away from you - so he feels comfortable talking down to you. When he physically faces you at the end, with a weapon he's not comfortable using - the weight of what he's doing properly sets in for him, hence why he acts a bit differently.
- Likewise, because you're dealing with a traumatized child villain versus a grown adult like Dr. Danger, that's why you're hesitant to kill him in the Spare Ending. You don't care about the other endings - you're just doing your job.
Let me know what you think about protoViolence. I think you might like it more than malViolence since it's a kinetic novel.
Ah for point one, arguably just locking the door can work? But then again maybe he is not prepared!
For point two yeah I know he is not used to handling a gun~
I was just wondering if that hesitation also comes from the fact that this action is more direct than the rest of the trap! Which point three also seems to imply that Cautionne is very different in person and far away~
But yeahhhhh, can't wait for Protoviolence!!!
