EDIT: You are not asking just to subtly find the politest moment to uprise an interest of a Toonstruck AGCP now, would you?

Nah, I was actually hoping for a longer 4th chapter official deadline… Gray Matter and Discworld were, for example a two-months playthroughs, while TWW is just out of its first… And LK, chrissie… are still behind if I’m not mistaken.

Almost one and a half to be precise.

One month and 5 (five) days are almost one and a half?! Boy, Sefir, what did you eat today? A mildew soup?! (I’m going by the official date in the first post, I don’t care when we actually started the game )

There’s nothing better than hearing “Once Upon a Time in the West” once you finally get out of the gully and get a sight of Corona!

That is such a good idea - listen to your own music while playing a game - I’ll have to give this a whirl sometime.

Better late than never!:

0-4 points PRISON GUARD!
5-7 COOK!
8-10 CURATOR!
11 ENGINEER!

I finished the game. Twist! Wasn’t expecting it.

Yes, I also finished the game - I also was not expecting the ending.

However, getting spot back looking better than ever was wonderful.

Great time - I got a 7 on the quiz too. I also would be interested in seeing a chapter 4 quiz.

Overall, a great game and I would play a sequel.

6-Cook though I would have gotten 2 more correct if I had stuck with my intuition and not second guessed myself.

I will however challenge question 11, as you can see in this youtube clip or these 3 stillshots I made from the video First, Second and Third Spot is actually the first to close his eyes while Sadwick’s are still open, and later Spot also briefly closes his eyes while Sadwicks are still closed, making all 3 answers equally correct. So my actual score is 7 which is… eh… still cook.

I finished the game. Twist! Wasn’t expecting it. Good ending. I guess The Neverending Story feel has a reason. They share some of the premises.

Originally I actually predicted the ending , of course not the details but the general plot twist. And the reason I did so is not so much because of the clues in the game, but more because of what Wilco also mentioned.
The game feels very similar to the books by Michael Ende, not just The Never Ending Story, but also others he has written. He often likes to break down the barrier between fantasy and the real world, and let at least part of the story take place in the imagination or dreams of his protagonist. I even believe he also has a sick boy in a hospital bed in one of his stories, though I might be remembering that wrong.

There are however also some in-game clues, like when there is the earthquake in the first chapter, and some electrical wires suddenly appear in Sadwick’s trailer, which I interpret as someone using a defibrillator or similar on the real Sadwick in the hospital.

I haven’t finished the game yet, but plan on getting started as soon as I’m done typing this.

I will however challenge question 11…

Hehe… I was expecting this. Yes, it could be interpreted in several ways, but if we make distinction between BLINKING and closing eyes for a couple of seconds, than I’m sorry, but Sadwick is a coward and Spot is not.

Calling it blinking will only account for the 3rd stillshot, and blinking happens faster than that, but as seen in the first Spot already has his eyes closed when the camera first shifts to Sadwick holding Spot, and we don’t know for how long he had his eyes closed before that, he might have closed them immediately when the train took off, and only opened them when he was “safe” in the hands of Sadwick, making Spot the bigger coward of the two

(Though if the train had crashed he would probably just have learned a new form)
