    The VIP guest is Alfred Hitchcock, by the way. He’s a British director (or he was), very prevalent in the 50s, and he had two dogs, that he was very particular about feeding them. He also had a phobia/aversion to eggs explaining why he was so angry when he received eggs as Andrew was talking to him on the phone. Andrew’s hint about prolonging the suspense, is reference to Hitchcock being dubbed the “Master of Suspense”

    Fun Fact: If you chose Andrew as your acolyte he will tell you that he stayed at the same psychiatric hospital as Paul & knew him. Sophie will also disclose that her mother is mentally ill as well. Andrew ends up getting fired at the end for disclosing his stay at the hospital to Bernard but opens up his own bookshop! Although choosing Beth as your acolyte is definitely the canon ending 😉

    There's actually no consequence for looking through Beth's locker, even if you tell her you went through her locker. She doesn't mind. Also there is an ending you could have gotten where Paul, Anne, and Marcella all go free while the REAL CULPRIT gets put in jail. I haven't seen anyone who I've watched play it so far make it happen though. You needed to know about Mr. Cruz's client sending him death threats, and the fact the client was traveling alone, but brought those stuffed bears along (and inspected them, I guess, because they have burn marks from the fire his three children died in). That was the room you start out in, btw. You may have also needed the safe codes, which you can apparently get from the basement somewhere, before you came back up for the keys.

I was a foster child as...well a kid lol...one of my foster moms had a story about when she was a hotel maid. Basically hotel she worked at had maids cleaning rooms in pairs. Either her or her partner that day (can't remember exactly) found a cucumber in the bed and picked it up BAREHANDED and was like "what do you think this was for?" The other responded with something along the lines of "omg don't touch that with your BAREHANDS they weren't making a salad in bed!!!" The one with the cucumber finally realized what the cucumber was in the bed for, freaked, and threw it across the room.

      Not just a film but a also book! First, it was called The Price of Salt but it ended up being called Carol too as well. The author, a woman, was inspired when she saw a beautiful woman at work and so she began to writing the story. Maybe she was kinda sapphic, who knows. 👀

    For ensuring the police arrest the right guy you've got to inspect the note you found in the safe. It got me the first time too, it's the same as when you had to click on the photo in paul's safe to see that Marcela is wearing the other key.
    For the safe in 509 you find half the code on a slip of paper down in the laundry room along with an inventory list of items removed from clothes for cleaning (to confirm it's from hector's tux) the other half you get from the list of codes that you found!

      @rhysiare Před 7 měsíci

      Oh that's fascinating! My headcanon of it is that...
      **SPOILERS BELOW***
      Williams is the killer. That he committed arson, killing his wife & 3 children to cash out on their life insurance payouts that he'd receive upon their deaths. But, their deaths didn't add up to Mr. Cruz, so his company refused to pay out on the policy because of suspicion of the Williams family's deaths. If Williams is willing to murder his whole family just for insurance payouts, then he is definitely capable of murdering Mr. Cruz for refusing to pay the insurance payouts.
      If this is how you view it, then Mr. Cruz is rather innocent too, even if Marcela feels trapped in a marriage with him. Judging from the letter from Mr. Cruz's mother, he seems sympathetic to Marcela being unhappy with the marriage & that may be why he hasn't pressured her to have kids with him (unlike how his mother pressures him in the letter). Though, Mr. Cruz seems to misconstrue Marcela & Paul's interactions as an indication that Marcela is cheating with Paul.

    Really loved your playthrough of this game. As a French-Canadian, I also really loved the setting and your attempt at getting the accent right :) Got so excited to hear "Tremblay" in a let's play, it's by far the most common name in Quebec to this day. To give you a bit of context, the period going from the 40s to the 60s in Quebec is called the Great Darkness. It was a time where the government was in the hands of corrupt conservatives, when the Roman Catholic church was extremely powerful and when average Quebeccers were kept in ignorance. At the time, the government, under the impetus of the Catholic Church, really cracked down on anything they saw as immoral (from art to any form of alternative lifestyles). It ended with the Quiet Revolution in the 60s which culminated with the October Crisis in 1970 (terrorist activity and War Measures Act). It ended darkly, but it's a period when Quebec threw off the shackles of the Catholic Church, took control of its natural resources and invested heavily in its education. Nowadays, Quebec is probably one of the most open and progressive region in North America.

It's a little sad she didn't pick up on the fact that he had something wrong with him in that first instance, mentions of the war and how life is hard gave it away to me pretty quickly, so hearing her call him a creep after learning that was a little sad, even if he had been nothing but a stalker before that point 😅

Once I heard he was in the war and that life was hard, I immediately thought "PTSD" and was kinda upset that she missed it. I guess not everyone is as primed as I am to notice things like that though...

    Hoenstly, super duper props Gab, for taking the time and interest to take us through the endings and try the ending a few extra times after the first finish (so few gamers on CZcams are invested enough and considerate enough to give all that extra pathway-ing a whirl, and see if they can get a better ending themselves). You rock! :)
    And the game was very deeply involved, but nice to see all that work and time really does pay off and affect so many aspects of the ending. Too few games (esp these days) really build out true multiple pathways (even fewer do so affecting so many elements). It's nice to see a solidly made game that made that effort too. Kinda cool.

    Gab! You missed a tiny scrap of paper in the lost and found in the laundry room. So, the laundry ticket you found in Cruz's room matches the inventory above the lost and found tray, telling you who lost the paper scrap. The note has the last three digits for the safe (conveniently).
    Edit: Also, the game is kinda brutal about the true ending. If the cops have no gays, or psychiatric patients to pin it on, they will assume you protect them unless you are perfect about covering your tracks. You then have to lie to the cops that Cruz told you about Mr. Williams.

    "before I arrest you for violating your guest's privacy"
    I mean...is that a crime? A friable offense, surely, a violation of privacy, definitely, but is it illegal to look through things that people leave out in a hotel room when they know that cleaning staff will be coming through? Especially when you _aren't_ just some random person wandering in but the cleaning staff that the guests know will be going through? Isn't that part of why they give you safes in hotels, so that you _can_ hide things from housekeeping? I don't think HIPPA applies to this situation, is what I'm saying. She wasn't even _selling_ the information or even making it known to anyone else (girlfriend aside, but they don't know that)
    If I broke into someone's house to snoop through their drawers, I'd be arrested for trespassing and breaking and entering, I don't think I'd be charged for flipping through their photo album, especially if I didn't actually damage the photo album.
    Honestly, if this cop said that to me, my immediate response would be to ask for a lawyer and then say nothing else because I suspect that is not actually a crime. What do I know though? This is the wild world of the 50s and there are some wacky laws on the books that just aren't enforced.

    • @OlivierLowbirth

      The way I saw it, the detective is trying to scare Sophie into talking and hopes she doesn't know that he can't arrest her for that.

Even if the 3 or so endings left me feeling a bit unsatisfied, they still had a proper closure and were true to the genre. What made me the happiest is watching a story that represents the struggle of gay rights from that era, its not only interactive but highly informative in its own artsy way. I felt proud too. Anne & Marcela's love on the other hand brought me back to my own love story with my first girlfriend at the time, we both had to hide from family and homophobia too, and this is a recent situation that still exists in the world sadly.

    Absolutely love how this game is the antithesis of most developers takes on mental illness. The ending is dependant on the players bias and who they perceive as wrong.
    Instead of easily painting Paul as "has mental illness, must be a murderer", they instead really humanise and portray the complexity. That someone can be ill but that's make them destined to be a bad person, or make immoral choices.
    Bloober could never handle this issue with this much nuance. It's really well done, which is ironic considering the game is set 80 years ago but comes across more progressive than today.
