    I love the feeling that the Princess seems to change based on what's happened to the protagonist. Like if they're scared of her she's scary, if they're intimidated she's powerful looking. The very act of taking the knife makes the protagonist think her voice is commanding instead of compelling. It's so interesting a concept.

      The princess is whatever you perceived her to be. Hence why she doesn’t have any answers to anything.

    I think what really sets off alarm bells for me is the fact that there are TWO chains attached to the wall- implying that she once had both her hands cuffed and managed to escape ONE. ON HER OWN.

    • @briarsenal
      @briarsenal Před rokem +8

      This also caught my eye. There is ALWAYS one chain broken. I think this is what causes the narrator to kick off the story

    • @avocado1845
      @avocado1845 Před 3 měsíci +2

      The one chain is actually meant to be the main characters as the princess and you used to be one but the narrator split you apart

    I was pleasantly surprised by the 'avoid the cabin' ending! in multi-choice games the 'avoid the plot' player choice can be difficult to make fresh, the cabin stalking the player through the woods and multiplying was very creepy

  • @MarcusWolfe
    @MarcusWolfe Před rokem +34

    So subtle, yet the game just notches up the creep factor by saying "Chapter 2" and repeating the intro narrator monologue. It's so simple, but there's some kind of creepy feeling with that kind of deja vu,.

  • @vaughn_erich
    @vaughn_erich Před rokem +151

    Cool! I feel like the extra voices that appeared in chapter 2s matched the vibe of what you chose in chapter 1. You were unsure the first time so -> Contrarian. The second time you just murdered her straight up -> Cold. I guess there was also Meek the first time…so maybe that’s from running away…and Contrarian from walking away in the woods?
    You could probably do another one where you let her go. Maybe we can be evil besties…or she’ll immediately kill us… I also wonder if you could leave the knife on the table to use later if you don’t kill her or something.

    • @agustindebortoli7686
      @agustindebortoli7686 Před rokem +2

      spoilers
      so the way this works is that, whatever your character thinks the princess is, thats what she will be, so when you grab the knife that mekes her more powerfull and scary, but if you don't grab the knife, then she will be nice and harmles, also there is a point in the game where you can pick a dialogue option that says something like "i think she has a knife" and if you pick that one, then a knife will magicaly apear in her hands and she will stab you with it

  • @Fikayoz
    @Fikayoz Před rokem +19

    So personally, in chapter 1, after asking "How long have you been here" and "What's your name?" and getting no proper answers to either, I'd have gone for the slay. Even moreso after she threw a threat at me. Being unyielding/uncompromising in that situation is super dangerous/scary

  • @Amethystar
    @Amethystar Před rokem +21

    It's a great touch that the extra voice in Chapter 2 is a direct correlation to how you played Chapter 1. Meek for indecision, cold for the murderous go-getter. I'm curious what all the other voices will be as well.

  • @PlanetYokoshima
    @PlanetYokoshima Před rokem +42

    This reminded me of the Three Musketeers book when Milady was locked away in a room; the dagger and saying 'don't be fooled by her', and her being too beautiful to be a dangerous, her dialogue with the character even when Milday manipulates Felton into trusting her.

  • @maliciositygames
    @maliciositygames Před rokem +40

    The writing for the story is really well done. There were many twists and turns, with nothing being a completely straightforward choice. This unpredictable nature makes it that much more engrossing, and I look forward to seeing all the different pathways which might open up as the main character continues to go through "revivals," whether it be the princess becoming progressively more outwardly monstrous or, perhaps, maybe even the exact opposite. Very interested to see what comes out of it.

    This game has since had an update with new endings and (it sounds like) new voicework (from nicole at least) to give the princess even more variety and personality. I bet Gab would enjoy playing it again... *damsel pleading eyes*
    Edit: oh this is just the demo! that explains the different voicework. There were more endings added in the full game, and even more in an update a bit ago. You should totally play this again, there's so much more now.

Knowing that one of my comfort streamers enjoyed and likes The Magnus Archives like I have is really nice. I also can't help but draw parallels between the Narrator and TMA haha it is really cool premise and the whole unsettling vibe the princess has is amazingly done with the dialogue and the art style, I'll definitely play it myself once the full game is out and can't wait to see you play it as well by then!

    Also, it looks like the Player and the Hero are two different characters, so- where did the hero come from if this is the first time we play the game? This just seems so cool i can't wait for the full game

    @babrdiddle Před rokem +1

    I. LOVE. THIS. I'm a huge fan of great writing and great voice acting and this had both! There's so much going on in this game to like but I think what I like the most is the subtle meta concept they are setting up for this game immediately with the first couple chapters. Clearly the narrator refers to you directly and all the voices aren't the character but an external representation of some of the thoughts you may have. The first voice you are given is the voice of the hero which is a role we all assume we are playing when we start a game. But after avoiding conflict and seeing what the princess could do, a meek voice became more pronounced and not only did he have ideas that we were all thinking, the meek voice expressing his ideas had influence on you deciding to walk away the second time. You had the curiosity before but him voicing it aloud that you should avoid her sparked the curiosity of what would happen if you left. This game will be an experiment of how much do we get influenced by the voices inside our head and how often do we actively try to push against what they say

    I think the world might be the princess’ dream and that’s also why chapter 2 is called the nightmare and everything is strange and things fall apart on a conceptual level and everything leads to the cabin and the world ends when she “dies”
    This is not a complete or accurate theory, but I think it’s an interesting perspective. The voices are very important

    So we can hear the Narrator which means he is a character in the story and he is actually there. It would have been cool if the Princess could hear him too.
    Speaking of characters, I feel like they should have given the Voice of the Hero a different voice because he sounds very similar to the Narrator. I would not be surprised if it was the same person but the first couple times I heard Hero speak, I thought it was just the Narrator

      It is the same person. They're both Jonathan Sims, the archivist

    Your hair has been looking so cute lately! I really like it. And I'm also a huge fan of The Magnus Archives, so much so that it inspired me to become an archivist myself! I'm going back to college for it next year! Nice to meet another fan!
